Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Hi guys,I just acquired a second Audio Horizons TP 2.0n from one of the club members who will remain anonymous at this time.This particular unit, in addition to the install of Clarity caps also has the larger transformer,power supply and a Furtech...

Actually dual volume controls are a plus,no sonic degradation,and offers more flexibility in bringing those recordings that may be slightly off center back in the sweet spot.

REAL WORLD OPINION - ADCOM 555 ii vs BRYSTON 4B

I need suggestions and ideas in picking a preamp.

battery powered with 'vivid' sound
I had a Red Wine 30.2,very musical,when I was in another part of the house it sounded like I had a live trio in my music room.Also very involving and clean,definitely something about being off the grid.Unfortunately it wasn't a good match with my ...
