| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I 100% agree with Sherod and you should submit Joseph's best version of the preamp. As I have learned in sales we should always lead with the best product first. Folks need to know what Joseph is capable of - his best work.I would submit the phono... | |
| Best Preamp = No Preamp? JmaldonadoYour comments are so off point. As I have said, I have owned the best high end has to offer. My reference systems consisted of gear all reviewers would say is not dry and lifeless. No flaws.A good preamp just sounded better then no pream... | |
| Best Preamp = No Preamp? Undertow,Read my post again. You agree 100% with me and I with you.Amen.Bill | |
| Best Preamp = No Preamp? A preamp is not needed if the goal is to simply have a way to control loudness/volume. However, if you want it to sound great, the best your system can sound, then to pick up that last 10 to whatever % of improvement you must have a good preamp. K... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier John, I have the remote version so yes you can order it that way right now ($300 option). Simply call Audio Horizons, or email, and ask if you can have metal or non-wood knobs.Sonic signature. Full bodied and loaded with texture. I would not say t... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I also own the 3.0 DAC and love it. To my ears it bested several well known and expensive players and DACs in my reference sysstem. One costs $8900 new and another $5000.I have had it over a year now and don't even consider trying another unit as ... | |
| How do tube Watts compare to SS Watts? 1 SS watt = 2+ tube watts in my experience in terms of filling a space with sound. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I agree that freezing at zero is risky at the very best. One can buy a quad of nice Bugle Boy tubes used for $65 and get a warmer more organic sound without any risk of damaging the $3000 amp. I know that cryo does seem to help the sound as I have... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Rx8man,The Amperex Bugle Boy's are more full sounding with warmer mids and a larger soundstage. Just more musical to my ears and better suited for a digital system with any component that may be a tad HOT.Bill | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Not sure why one system does not require cable switching and another does. The preamp does invert phase and my system is out of phase unless I reverse polarity on the speakers. I just confirmed this on my test CD.Unless another piece of gear inver... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Yup, I have those also. I like the Amperex, Bugle Boy's better as an FYI!Bill | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Goodness, glad to hear another here has had the same experience regarding this preamp inverting phase. Ok, all owners go home and reverse polarity on your speakers and see for yourself. I also have that wonderful Stereophile test CD which tests fo... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I asked Mr. Chow if the preamp inverted phase when I was a/b'ing his preamp vs. my then CJ LS16 which does invert phase. He told me it did invert phase. I played with my speaker connections and changed polarity to confirm his comments.His English ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier The new preamp will also have upgraded or "improved" cosmetics. I feel the current one looks just fine. The remote option will add a phase inverting button. His preamp does invert phase for any new folks on this thread. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Rx8man, I like your idea very much and was most interested in your post. I left the top off my preamp after tube rolling and feel it does sound a little better. I can't explain it and perhaps I am crazy, but I do like the sound better.I may look i... |
