Why organ music
I got the Hell organ CD and it sounded wonderful on my main system! What a kick to be 14 and playing the biggest and best pipe organs in the world. At that age I played in a small Church on a Hammond B and still remember the sense of power that ga...

Well, folks, you did it! After considering used CATs and BATs and Supratek, the glowing comments got to me and I ordered the works - the Audio Horizopns TP 2.0nB with the gold tubes today. Joseph and Victor have been as responsive and knowledgable...

Preamp to match with Aragon 8008
I have had the Aragon 8008BB for many years mated with Aragon 28K preamp (think there is one used at the moment in classifieds) It has been a great combination. The only problem was that the 28K is 19inches wide where most equipment is 17inches so...

I found that biwiring as above with silver Speaker cable to woofer and copper to the top end worked best for me. Silver on both was too strident for me in my live room. 
Why organ music

Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Hello. I am very seriously considering obtaining the Audio Horizon TP 2.0 preamp as my first tubed experience, given the wonderful feedback about Joseph and his products here. Would you be so kind as to update your impressions now that most of you... 
Tubed pre to go with Aragon 8008BB
Thank you for your responses. Interesting reading up on the Audio Horizons and Supratek products. Both are definiely well spoken of. Bigkidz, I could not find MapleTree in the manufacturer list and unsure how to contact Steve Nugent. 
The Shape of the Watt / Puppy and Others
Give the VR4Sr's a listen. I prefer them strongly to the Wilson sound with my equip in my room. Yet I can see why many would prefer Wilson - you just gotta listen yourself. 
Your top ten CD transport???
SteveThanks 
Your top ten CD transport???
SteveThanks for your response. I have been taking a break over Christmas. Can you describe the improvemnts of the mods in terms of sound? Its pretty sweet right out of the box. But I think a bit laid back. I would like to keep the sweet, non digit... 
Your top ten CD transport???
