Some of you may be interested, also, in other sound system development work that Joseph is doing. In a thread named "Sonos Questions" I reported on some improvements that Joseph has made to my Sonos digital source. The external power supplies that... 
Sonos Questions
As I reported earlier, I have been testing a Sonos ZP80 with an improved power supply. Contrary to what another participant in this thread asserts (based on no direct evidence, it appears), the power supply upgrade made a substantial improvement t... 
Sonos Questions
Red2,I used the Audio Horizons tube DAC with the Levinson 37 transport and with the Sonos, so that part of the digital source was constant. The external power supply was a project that Joseph undertook at my request. I have been a beta tester for ...

HDMI to DVI adapter?
I faced the same problem, too. I found an HDMI to DVI cable by searching the internet. Works fine. You must run audio separately.

I, too, own the TD 3.0 tube DAC. It is excellent. There is a Dagogo review of it, which is located here:http://www.dagogo.com/AudioHorizonsTD3.0nDAC.html 
Curious about Audio Horizons TP3.0 Tube DAC
A review of the TD 3.0 was published recently at Dagogo. com. Here is the page link: http://www.dagogo.com/AudioHorizonsTD3.0nDAC.htmlThe reviewer liked it a lot. I do, too. Read the review. I think it is a fair assessment of the product

Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Grannyring,My 2.0nB was modified to reflect the 2.1 changes. I perceive the result as improving the articulateness of the soundstage. In my system, the soundstage became deeper and the instrument positions more precise. Voices became more relaxed,...

Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Yes, Joseph changed my preamp.I was surprised at the improvement - I didn't think the preamp could be improved quite so easily. What I have heard so far are more relaxed and natural high frequencies, and a midbass (~80-200 hz) improvement. Also, i... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
You've received some good advice from other Audio Horizons customers. I'll add my "amen" to their comments. I recommend that you send the TP 2.1 equivalent of either the TP 2.0nb or the TP 2.0nB, which are the versions of that preamp that perform ... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
