Help - Need Preamp under 5K for Class D amps
I guess I should add my 2 cents. I've just dealt with a small manufacturer AV123 whom I purchased some line arrays from. My experience was miserable. Emails and phone calls messages largly ignored, lost, unanswered, overall a frustrating experienc...

Hotbird - I do not own a preamp other than my Onkyo PR-885CP (something like that) pre-pro which doesn't cut the mustard for 2 channel. So I run direct from Transporter to Nuforce amps. Not an ideal configuration!

Audioforever – I’m feeling the Audio Eklipse as well. I have to factor in WAF and that unit is a beauty. Hell, I’m fortunate to have a converted audiophile wife. I think she’s crazier than I am. She wanted the LS9 line arrays which stand to the ce...

Currently I don't have a preamp to listen to other than when I connect to my Onkyo which sucks the life out of my music. If I were to get off the AC grid I would go with Dodd which is a possibility cause if there's one thing I learned after all th...

Cannot find info on the "dude" dudes. Is there a pic with some info? That Audio Valve Eklipse looks very nice. Got kudo's from stereo times Mike Wright. Wonder if it has HT bypass. Funny that there's many pics of it's front panel but NONE of it's ...

I've been playing with our newly formed setup. LS-6's are sounding quite lovely. I can't get over just how beautiful the cabinetry is. Cabinets were worth the money I paid for these! Getting back to the pre I just listened to a Itlain made Lector ...

I've heard a lot of good things about the Dodd. I thought about building an Audio Note pre as well as I love DIY. I'm looking for a theatre bypass function. In the interest of keeping 2 channel and HT seperated, and needing a multichannel amp anyw...

The Truth mods are definitely on my radar. I thought however that the pre would give me the flexibility to cure my cable swapping issues when viewing home theatre. Thanks! 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
RX8man, Did you here a modded TP through the Audio Horizons/Nuforce 9SEV2 combo? I'm ready to ship my TP to Dan for the tube output stage. But that's still a 2K upgrade! Since I don't own a pre, I seem to be spinning my wheels between modding the ...

Rydenfan What is your associated equipment/speakers? Do you have MLS speakers? Have you listened with the Audio Horizon 2.0?I anxiously await this shootout. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
This thread has drawn me to consider this preamp. I currently use my Transporters volume control straight to my Nuforce 9 SEV2's. Now I'm thinking if sending my TP to Modwright for the tube output stage and trying the AH 2.1.I was thinking about t...

Sorry folks, I meant Audio Horizons, not NOT Nu Horizons - yikes! 
Transporter to Nuforce 9 SeV2 preamp search
Wanting to have Dan at ModWright perform his magic on my TP, I wondered about the pairing of the Modded TP and the Nu Horizon 2.1 preamp. It keeps costs at a relatively sane level ~4K and should give me plenty of the magic I'm looking for. Thoughts?

I heard the modwright 36.5 on a very different system. I tried to glean what I could from my listening experience. Spatial cues and transparency are what I'm trying to improve upon. The 36.5 at 4K may be the ticket. The Sig 9 might work great as w...
