| Someone tell me where to find wooden volume knobs Bill,Did you check with Joseph at Audio Horizons? | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Sometimes adhesives that bind the stacked plates which are part of the power transformer will weaken and allow vibration. We hear it as a hum. I suspect that is what your friend is hearing. It is a common occasional problem with transformers of an... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I use the Audio Horizons tube DAC, the preamplifier, and interconnects in my system. I've used them for nearly three years. All of the products have been completely trouble-free. They always turn on; there are no extraneous noises. Is my experienc... | |
| VTL Compact 100 bias instructions An article was published in the August 1990 issue of a now defunct magazine called AUDIO, in which the Compact 100 was reviewed and extensive specifics and measurements were reported. In that article, the writer notes the "relatively low plate cur... | |
| Sonos DAC That's a good question. I contacted Joseph, the owner of Audio Horizons, to ask. I've been using protoypes of the power supply for several months and have posted my praise of it elsewhere. So, how about offering it to other people?Joseph told me t... | |
| Sonos DAC Thanks for the update. The Bel Canto is reported to be a warmer sounding DAC than the Benchmark. Your experience seems to support that report.Down the road, you may wish to have the richer, fuller sound, but also a more articulate sound. If so, ke... | |
| K&K Phono I, too, built the K&K phono kit. I found it to be challenging but achievable. Kevin gave good support. The Lundahl step up transformers take a couple of hundred hours to break in fully, so be patient. Ultimately, the Lundahl sounds very good. | |
| Looking for a Phono Pre less than $1500 Here is the location of a review of the Audio Horizons phono preamp:http://www.10audio.com/audio_horizons_tp8_tp2-1.htmIt meets your operation and price requirements. From experience, I can say that Audio Horizons equipment is an excellent value. | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? Mrjstark,From direct experience, sustained now over four+ months, I know that improving the Sonos ZP80 power supply does improve significantly the quality of both the analog and digital output signal. No doubt the Sonos clock and jitter can be imp... | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? Barrelchief,Yes, the sound improvement is evident from both the analogue and digital outputs. Since I listen to the digital output through a superior DAC, that signal is better, of course. For casual listening (i.e., while I'm working busy the hou... | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? Tboooe,Both of those questions should be posed to Joseph Chow. I don't know the answer to either one. As a beta tester, I comment to him about sound quality, reliability, and ease of use. When he is satisfied with the power supply, he will upgrade... | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? I know that Joseph Chow (Audio Horizons) has developed a ZP80 power supply upgrade which I am beta testing. It delivers a significant improvement to the music. My reference for comparison was a Levinson 37 transport which had been upgraded. When S... | |
| Sonos DAC Sonos does not support the USB output, I think. Digital coax or optical are the only choices. I prefer the digital coax. | |
| Sonos DAC There are at least two ways to improve the Sonos performance. Here I am referring to the ZP80, which has both digital and analog outputs.I have seen an advertisement on Audiogon to upgrade the digital signal processing of the ZP80. I recall that t... | |
| Wife wants a black faced receiver to replace Rotel I have a black faced RSX-972, which appears to be equivalent to the 1056. There must be a difference, but it is not apparent to me. Maybe one preceded the other. My 972 performs flawlessly. So, if you can't find a black faced 1056, consider a blac... |
