Audio Horizon Preamp
I also find it odd, that the designer of this fine unit has no personal friends that would help him out by posting a testimonial... Hmmn? Catch 22, no one will admit to being his friend. LOL!!! 
Audio Horizon Preamp
By the way, does anyone think that it's odd that people sign on to audiogon eveyday to search threads for the words audio horizon? Hmmn? and most of them act like they are old buddies. By the way, if any of you are offended by that then there must... 
Audio Horizon Preamp
Wow!!! those are quick responses. How about this. What is everyone that claims to own one, posts a picture on this website showing the serial number on the back!!! That would help prove that this is all legit and would certainly help validate the ... 
Audio Horizon Preamp
P.S.Since anything is possible, I'd also like to state that there is always the possibility that I could be completely wrong and that every single person on the other thread could be genuine... That no one associated with a new, up and coming, hun... 
Audio Horizon Preamp
Well,Based on the response to the thread that I started compared to the other Audio Horizon thread (that's been maintained for about a year by a very small handful of people), I would say that things are looking very suspicious. Although 5 of the ... 
Passive Pre - No Regrets?
Sure I've pasted it below:Input impedance 470K Ohms Output impedance < 33 Ohms Total harmonic distortion < 0.004% 10Hz to 20kHz Frequency response 20Hz to 65kHz +0, - 0.5dB Crosstalk Better than 80dB, 20Hz to 20kHz Signal / noise ratio (refe... 
Passive Pre - No Regrets?
Has anyone tried the Musical Fidelity Tube Buffer to address the impedence matching problems? Does this make any sense? 
Audio Horizon Preamp
Well.... After some soul searching, etc.. I began wondering why I need a preamp at all. Actually, they only source that i use these days is a CD player. So... I really think that no preamp is better. Any thoughts on a volume control and perhaps a ... 
coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse
Has anyone compared the total eclipse with the newer version of the Von Schweikert VR jr? or senior? 
LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ?
Hi,Thanks for the comment on my B&W 801 speakers. Unfortunately, the main problem is that they're not very efficient. Also, I wasn't sure if I'd be better off selling these speakers instead of investing another $1600.00 in the North creek cros... 
LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ?
Wow! All of these suggestions sound good. Actually, right now, I'm using B&W 801 Matrix 3 speakers. I was thinking of replacing them anyway, because (although they do sound pretty good)I think I might be able to find a better match for my ampl... 
HELP NEED UPGRADE ADVICE
Hi,I did recently change the tubes, but I did have a slight hiss prior to this also. Right now, I believe that I have Telefunkens in there. However, I collected tubes for years so they could be Amperex or Mullards, etc. I have about 30 NOS 6DJ8s b... 
HELP NEED UPGRADE ADVICE
Well... All of you make me feel pretty good about my choices of components... although, I am starting to hear a tiny bit of noise coming through the speakers.. Since this noise is there even when the amps are turned off, I'm going to assume that i... 
HELP NEED UPGRADE ADVICE
Wow! Actually that does make sense. Attacking the source first is probably the most logical approach. Any suggestions on the next step. Preamp or speakers? I hear that the Northcreek mod is outstanding, but if the source isn't up to it then I migh... 
VTL MB-185 & Speakers?
Thanks! I was thinking about running the woofers on a solid state amp. Actually I called Bea from VTL about doing that and got the pitch about having non integration and that I probaly needed the VTL MB450s. Hmmn? So, it I sell me MB 185s and come...
