Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Sherod,I believe Joseph changed a chip on the digital board and upgraded the power supply bank ,installed an IEC connector so I could use his power cord. I still have the non modified player and the main difference is in dynamics, midrange and ove... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Bill,It was a gentleman who built it for his own system and decided to let it go since it mated extremely well with my speakers. When I looked at similar designs I could not believe the difference in power supply capacitors in comparison for about...

BillAgree on all points. I believe what you are describing is personal taste and style. My system can be very dynamic (tube change, maxed out front end, etc) given the source, and since my speakers extend to 22 hz, its sufficiently scaled to my pe...

I switched from solid state amplification to SET combo with a 95db efficient speaker and never looked back. Its very revealing especially with Joseph's preamp. It also makes it possible to match inexpensive digital as the source while preserving m...

And why not complete your reading by enjoying the music by "Tesla" found on "My space". The link :http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=11324008 is shown unless AG removes it. 
KCI Pure Gold and the benefits
Those Ohm Walshes are awesome, but how about changing the internal wiring within the speaker with John's cables as an alternative. This speaker off axis performance is outstanding but I could not live with the lack of inner detail. Looking forward...

I vote for the integrated for the review. After all its Joseph's signature work that is the subject matter at hand. At this level of importance, this review can potentially put "General" chow (affectionatly speaking) on the map.His preamp deserves... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Its interesting to hear an opinion which does not comply in general with the group. Its a positive point of view which clarifies the point that cables are system dependent and that there is no one holy grail. Remember how the Indra was held as the... 
What is new with the Memory Player?
How about an excursion to Toronto? The sign up sheet is at my house in Connecticut unless someone is closer..LOL 
What is new with the Memory Player?
Hey Rx8man,Stirring it up is your middle name and I like it. 
What is new with the Memory Player?
I heard it at the NYC Entertainment Show a month ago. I was so excited to hear it and figured it would be a revolutionary experience. It was not!The player may not be the culprit but it did not produce the music even when compared to the Moscode r... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Nice semantic to point out. Just to add, I can manipulate the central image or depth in several ways. One way is to move the speakers further apart and the second way is to remove or change the damping material at the back of the speaker. If you w... 
Alpha Core Goertz
That is surprising to hear. They have been around a very long time and can't imagine that they will ignore you as a repeat customer. Now I am not sure If I should go ahead and order their speaker cable (gold conductor) at this point.Can anyone con...

Sherod my friend. Glad to hear from you.I am afraid to mention it. I will never be taken seriously by anyone here using this $30 player with a Audio Horizons preamp, a 24k speaker, Gabrielle Gold Revelations and a 8 watt SET amplifier.I hope to ha...
