Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Thanks, Stltrains. I believe that is the correct value for mine as well. 
Reference 3a Dulcet upgrades
Just one more tidbit to add. I have been experimenting with various speaker cables on my Dulcet, both single run with various jumpers and with biwired versions. I have come to my own personal conclusion that the Dulcet sounds so much better in the...

One more thing. I did replace the power line fuse with a Hifi-tuning fuse and it made a nice improvement. There is one more fuse on the power supply board, but I can't remember what the value is. I probably need to order one to replace that one as...

Markwattkiss, I communicated regularly with Pat(Rx8man) while he was getting his TP2.0n upgraded with the Claritycaps and new transformer in the power supply. I'm not sure if Joseph replaced the key resistors in the signal path with the new Vishay...

Well,well,well. It looks like the new TP 2.2 is finally here. Anyone take the plunge yet? http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1275458921&/New-audio-horizons-TP-2.2-Tube  
Has anyone tried EAT KT88's in their power amps
The best I've tried in my VAC monoblocks are the Shuguang Penta Labs KT88SC, solid plate version. I bought a matched quad from Dougstubes. These tubes have everything: soundstage, neutrality, dynamics, clarity, etc. http://dougstubes.com/6550kt8...

I haven't tried the Duelund wire, but I did wire internally my speakers with a special pure copper wire designed by Marigo Labs. It has some type of silk or other natural covering and has nothing artificial in its composition. The wire has a very ...

Well, I had waited until the 140 hour mark for the Ampohm caps and ultimately, although I really liked the top end airiness, the overall sound of the Duelund is just so much more natural and alive sounding. Also, like Volleyguy stated, the bass of... 
Kudos to Acoustic Zen
That reminds me. I need to send my Krakatoa back for a new upgraded male plug. They told me they would only charge for the plug only. Labor and shipping free. Good folks.

The Ampohm will sound very closed-in and tight sounding for the first 2-3 hours. After that it starts to relax and open up and will continue to improve. I'm at about 65 hours with mine now and they sound better with each hour played.

I got mine from the Tube Store: http://thetubestore.com/ampohmmylar.html I found the "see-through" quality to be across the board. Yes, the very highs are more extended, but I don't hear any exaggeration of any parts of the spectrum. Everythin...

So far, with the Ampohm polyester caps, after just 48 hours in my preamp outputs, they are showing real promise. Better highs and a more "see-through" quality to the music. I want them to break in some more before I give my final take. If they end... 
New V-CAP CuTF capacitor
The largest Vcap CuTF cap is .33uf. http://www.v-cap.com/copper-teflon-capacitors.php  
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
This strategy seems to work. Nordost calls it the "Loom" effect.

I just received my pair of Ampohm myler-in-oil. I am going to put them in my preamp outputs this weekend. Stay tuned.
