| 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... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Thanks Tvad. I will look into that tonight.Bill | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I would like to know what brand of damping strips or material you folks suggest and where to get it. I would like to apply this damping material to the cover plate.Thanks,Bill | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Ok another 3 hours of listening tonight with the Amperex's. I like them better in my system then the Siemens. No doubt. Goodness the music was so special tonight. My Proceed PMDT died and my sense is it would sound better with the Siemens as it ha... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I have been listening to the AH pre with Amperex Bugle Boy tubes instead of the tubes sent with the unit - Siemens Gold Pin. After a couple of hours I like the Amperex's very much indeed. The highs are a tad sweeter and the mids a little more full... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Cedar, where do I get Myrtle wood blocks?Thanks,Bill | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I am going to try some Amperex Bugle Boy's this weekend and compare them to the cca's. They can be had on Ebay, used and strong, for $68 a quad. That is what I paid.I used these in my CJ Premier 16 and they were great. I will now play with them in... |
