| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Slttrains - congrats on a good decision in a complex obsession prone enviroment:) I am very happy for your excellent synergy among your pieces of equipment. It is so healing to be able to sit back and let the music transport you to wonderland. Bil... | |
| My VR4SR MK2's.......now I get it IMO you never get used to crappy sound of the type one might hear in breakin such as strident highs, uneven registers, and lack of musicality in gerneal. I do think that speakers are usually much more dramatically in need of breakin due to the mec... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Another vote for keeping the discussion on the thread as I too am interested, knowing that nothing is gospel and that you have to heard for yourself with your room, equipment and set of ears. I mostly use a grand piano in the same room as my refer... | |
| budget Cables / Interconnects recommendations? Guerilla Audio cables IMO are a great value and have a home trial policy. The owner Jason bends over backwards to make you happy and graciously accepts his returns. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Good detective work, stltrains. Do you notice a more dynamic sound without the damper? | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Mark - Thanks for your detailed, cogent and honest Ref 3 comparision. While 4X AH price is out of my current league, it is nice to hear anbout a really great product. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier StlTRains - The other responders are right that NOS can be microphonic, but I had alot more trouble with microphonics with Siemens E188cc's than with my cca's. I own two seperate quads of these. IMO they should not ring even without the use of dam... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier strltrains - also take off the rubber dampers and see what it sounds like. It should be much more lively and dynamic. My cca's were very much better without dampers. Of course you have to watch for microphonics, but floating the circuit board or s... | |
| My VR4SR MK2's.......now I get it Welcome to the family of very happy VR4SR owners. My delight with mine continues at 18 months, still surprised at finding more instruments and kinds of music that the speakers do splendidly. Have bought more music since getting the speakers than I... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Ah, so you use as your benchmark the welll memorized live instrument and then remember the comparisons to this. Do you keep notes as you go along? | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I just have to toast your auditory memory. You are listening throughout a 100 hour break-in and still remembering what the unmodded 2.0 sounds like for comparision. I would have to have the units side by side and do my comparisons that way unless ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Bill - Thanks for the detailed post. I am glad that you were rewarded so well for taking the chance at upgrade when the original sounds so good. I may well do the same after your experience. I am uncertain what you mean about digital cable. Are yo... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Stltrains - Yes for me the AH has enough snap, sizzle and bass support that anything with a beat causes one to feel like dancing. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier SLtrains - Thanks for posting your impressions. I am not sure what a gooey mid-range is, can you elaborate?Tvad - Thanks for posting a good-eared and respectful different point of view. I have been intrigued by those products and now may make an e... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Thanks Bill, you got me very interested. My 2.0nB was made right before the switch to 2.1 and therefore Joseph put in some of what the newer unit has. I will have to check out the difference. I am very happy for you that you achieved such improvem... |
