| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I will look up the specs for my SS amp tonight. I am also getting a nice triode tube amp Friday and will play with that!I also think the output or gain of the AH is an issue to look into. The version one owns and the use of XLR or RCAconnections p... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I do not find my upgraded version softer or recessed. My experience is just the opposite. Voices are more forward and symbals have more impact and decay. The 2.0 is softer sounding in my system to be sure.The sound is not as round and warm as the ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I use balanced in and outs on my 2.1 upgraded preamp. I understand in my version Joseph puts some more money into the XLR jacks. I think he builds in some sort of balanced transformer in each channel. I have to check on that. I also noticed a nice... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier While I am getting more tube warmth the new version does lack in the one area Sherod keeps bringing up - "breath of life". I like that phase.Tvad calls it 3D or musical. Thus far, after near 100 hours of burn in, my unit excels in many pure audiop... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Sherod, yes it is. Really want to hear what Victor has to say. I assume they know the "end" result after complete burn-in. I assume they know if the sound becomes more tube like and as you say has "breath of life"Bill | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I have had my 2.1 upgraded from 2.0 for two weeks now and I do find it does many things better then the original version. I have outlined these things in my posts. The unit is to my ears quite different sounding from the 2.0. I do miss some of the... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I would agree with Tvad. I know from experience his wire takes a long while to fully break in. I think he uses the same wire in the wire harness.Sherod, my unit is sounding amazing! Have you ever tried AH wire? It may be worth a try. Just start wi... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I am also under the understanding that the trial period is 30 days , not 10. I also know Joseph would give longer then 10 days if asked for break-in.Sherod, you are right about a more revealing cable revealing more of the break-in. Not sure if Jos... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I would like Victor or someone to help us understand what they have found for burn-in time and changes one can expect over that time.Sherod, I find I am in agreement with your overall comments on the improvements and also what seems to be missing.... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Sherod, that is most interesting. I did not notice the same increase in volume as you. For me it was very slight. For me the things you are missing came when I put in a new digital cable. Now I tried the new digital cable after more burn in then y... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Gammajo, I mean the digital cable between the DAC and transport. I am sure the IC between a DAC/CD player and the preamp would also have a huge impact. Any cable or source before the preamp was the nature of my post.It is always hard to put into n... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Well I have some additional comments on my updated TP2.0 preamp.This unit is more revealing then ever of the source component and any changes one would make in cabling.I use a Music Metre Fidelus digital cable because in the past it has outperform... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Sherod, I have been busy at work and have only added another 10 or so hours of listening and burn in. Still the very same reaction and loving the improvements.Will have more time this weekend. I will let it play 24/7 again starting Friday night.I ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I know I would love to go to next year's show - RMAF. I live in Southern, MN and would like to meet up with all you folks next year in Denver!Bill | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Rx8man,I agrre that the 2.0 version looks better. I also like the additional room, but just plain like the overall look better.I seem to share the same desires for a sound system.Bill |
