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...

Rgd Thanks for taking the time to answer thoroughly. Some nice equipment there, plenty of sensitivity for a good evaluation!

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...

Thanks Sherod and Rxman for being pioneers on these units. It will be another week before I get my DAC back (having it modded by Mauimods, then will get system up and running and be ready to explore new things with the AH 
Anyone going to see Loreena McKennitt?
In Asheville we are paying 49.50 for premium seats for her concert, so I guess location matters
