| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier My opinion,you have to audition both,to make an educated guess is sorta like trying to predict the weather.There's just too many variables with system synergies and prejudices. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Thanx for placing us in the 900 club. | |
| Shall I add a preamp to my setup? "What that guy just told you" is simply incorrect. | |
| Mono Block tube amp or Stereo Tube amplifier? My experience has been that the big game animals of audio usually recommend mono blocks. | |
| What amp with Innersound Eros ? I've used a variety of ss,tube and hybrid amps to drive the Innersound EROS.My favourite and current reference is a Cary V12.As you maybe aware there is a natural synergy between tubes and electrostats,which in my system is quite evident,solid sta... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier For Glory's benefit here is my "B list" of pre amps that fell in the wake of the AH.Cary 98LAesthetix CalypsoSupratek SyrahLamm LL2Have a good week everyone. | |
| Best poweramp $2-4K matched with Cary SLP-98 Well I'll make it almost unanimous, I have a Cary V12 which I paired with A 98L and it made beautiful music.There is no substitute for synergy with like products.Having said that,I did find a pre amp that aced the 98L so I replaced it.Still have t... | |
| Onkyo fans favorites I've got a carefully crafted system with several pieces of top tier equipment.I have, and it still amazes me, a 1990 Onkyo CD player,I used it for a back up while waiting for my main source to be upgraded.Even 18 years later it still plays very well. | |
| Who do you like for equipment mods? Douglas Jesse at ASi Teknologies in Warren Michigan.Professional,helpful and quick turn around. | |
| Power Amp to drive Magneplanar MG1.6 I've owned several models of Magnepans and powered each with various Bryston amps,there is just a natural synergy between the two products.Throw a tube pre in the mix and you're there. | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? I'm also a tube guy,however,I've heard wonderful things about Jeff Rowlands Capri pre amp and it's a lot less than what you're looking to spend. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso VS ARC Reference 3 I have had the pleasure of owning both pre amps.At its price point the Calypso is very competent,I never experienced noise issues.The REF 3 just has that emotional immediacy and correct sense of timing that was lacking in the Calypso. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Yes you may want to reconsider using the super tube,I was advised personally by Joseph not to go there.I still owe Sherod a beer in that regard. | |
| whats a more detailed preamp Second the Audio Horizons,if you want a pre amp that has that 'Je ne sois quoi' this is the one.Check the AH thread,we can't all be wrong. | |
| Affordable High Watt Tube Amp Wanted Give it several more months your economy will have really tanked by then. |
