| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier LA45 I am glad that you are happy with the your preamp. What version did you get and what tubes are you using - the gold pins or regular Siemens? Curious about the cyro as I have never attempted. Can you walk us through this a step at a time? For ... | |
| Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's? For what it is worth. I auditioned the Dali's and VSA Jr and Sr at same dealer. He and I both like the VSA better | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Yes, I have looked through the tubes threads at Asylum and found them helpful. Victor is very sincere in his conviction that the cc'a's and, short of that, the gray plate Siemens are best in the TP 2.0. And he is very knowledgable and dedicted to ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Sherod. Yes the fellow audiogoner is happy to take the cca's back. But thanks for the tip. Being new to tubes the variety of choices within just the Siemens and Amperex family, pricing, and policies for audition are a bit daunting. But I am just l... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Welcome Rhanson. Enjoyed your sense of humor in your post. Are you willing to share what pre you replaced, on or off post? Interested that you like the Amperex. Sherod, The Siemens cca's I tried in position 1&3 were microphonic in my system. I... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I am 99.9% sure that it is phase inverting as Victor had me turn my speaker leads around and I have non-inverting amp. Just wanted to be the 200th poster here :) Happy bicentential eveyone! | |
| Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's? In terms of a sub, I run the Sr's both with and without a decent sub, and the woofers in the Sr's handle the bass exceptionally well. By contrast the sub sounds much less precise and dynamic, so when I run it I put it on crossing at 50HZ and very ... | |
| Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's? The advice here is good, Cbucki sums it up very well. I auditioned both and went for the VR4SR's, largely based on having a very large room and liking the type of bass foundation that the larger woofers can provide. Used MK1 versions of both these... | |
| Adjusting tubes for bias and other tube hassles The responses so far deal with tube amps. I understood from posts here that preamps were less of a hassle and good place to enter the tube experience. The preamp tubes are subject to less stresses, run cooler, last longer, etc. So I have started w... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Sorry, Victor is correct - not Vincent. Yes, when I heard this news I estimated the chances of any of you parting with your TP 2.0's when the new one came out, so as to get a bargin used unit but I just couldn't wait to hear what you were all so e... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Best I know Joseph is planning a new preamp sometime after April 1, chiefly in response to people wanting a little slimmer design (less height). He has made some changes in the circuit that serve to lower the noise floor a bit more and has been in... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier My Siemens CCa's for #1&3 and gray plate early 60s 88cc's for 2&4, plus Herbies tubes dampers were installed today. I am ready to do some fun tube comparing. As I am new to tube rolling and I expect the diffences to be subtle, do any of yo... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier La45 I noticed improvements as mentioned in the first few days. But I also recommend leaving it on 24/7 playing a continuous CD source with amp off. After one week of this (168 hours) I noticed another leap in performance - thats when the big grin... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier SherodI love mysteries. I am guessing that he approved adding a bunch of damping material to the chassis. Any one else have a guess? | |
| Synergy - how to get there I think words such a synergy are useful in focusing our intention into action. Synergy can help us pass on a product that is very well rated by others becuase it does not match well our systems needs (such as small speakers in a large room), and l... |
