Assessing quality of power
OK, Looks like I have to try one to find out. It would be nice if the component gave you a message that it has been correcting voltage and how much of the sine wave it had to reconstruct. and how much electronic hash it blocked, sort of like an an... 
Another article re CD sales
I remember buying ablums at 14 and sometimes being very disappointed that the only good song on it was the one I knew that prompted the buy, yet there was special magic in buying an album and finding great music on it that I had never heard before... 
Recommended Pressing of Sgt Pepper's
If you like this music, also try the soundtrack from the new Cirque de Soeil show, Love. I have the CD version, have seen the show live and do not know if it is on LP. It does some very wild things with the music from this album as well as other B...

Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Yes, I am missing my unit. I have had a month of patience practice. My Northstar DAC was in for repair of two transitors resulting in no right channel. While the DAC was in I had it modded by Mauimods and just got it back yesterday with great resu...

Sherod and La45, have you had a chance to install RX8man's isolation kit and what do you think? My unit is with Joseph at the moment and we are contemplating having him float the board.Sherod - any further interm update on the V caps progress? Onc... 
Help with tube tester
Thanks Tvad. 
What do I upgrade next to soothe the soul?
It is a little over two years since I started this post, so just for fun I am updating. Since then I have upgraded my speakers to Von Schweikert VR4Sr's. That made a huge difference where I could really begin to hear the nuances of other changes. ... 
Help with tube tester
I purchased a B&K 606 on ebay and used it for the first time tonight. What a sweet little unit. Very easy to understand and use. Only two things I am not sure of. One is it says to wait for the tube to warm up. I assume that means about a minu... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Rgd Thanks for taking the time to answer thoroughly. Some nice equipment there, plenty of sensitivity for a good evaluation! 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
RdgThank you for your input. May I ask what your source, amp and speakers are and whether your room is accoustically treated? I am very curious to see what the AH does well with and what perhaps is better served by a different pre.Joe

Rob Thanks for posting what you had before the AH preamp. I think it helps us all get a sense of what the AH does with different equipment 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Ozzy Cool points. I have my rear tweeter set at about two but am close to the front wall and am firing at glass. 
Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's?
Jek - To me they had more clarity, liveliness, musicality and resolved nuances of timbre and ambience better, with a warmer mid and a more dynamic yet controlled bass. Overall they strongly drew me into the music instead of one dominant feature of... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Ozzy It took I'd say at least 500 hours for full break in of my VR4Sr's but from where you are they should be pretty stable, and just get slowly sweeter and better. I have not had much trouble at all with bass even though I am only about 18 inches...
