| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Cedar, Thanks for the mini-preview of your beta-testing time with Joseph's new SET amp. May I suggest that you start a new thread on the amp and/or write up a separate review on it. I'm hoping that we can keep this thread going as it started on Jo... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Madisound recently lowered their prices on the Claritycap. I paid quite a bit more for mine from them not long ago. Oh, well. I'm still happy with them in my preamp. http://www.madisound.com/pdf/printcatalog/claritycapMR.pdf | |
| Emission Labs EML 30B-XLS tubes in VAC Ren. 70/70? I have the VAC Musicblocs which use the KT88. I'm currently using the Shuguang Penta Labs solid plate version. I have had my eye on those Shuguang Treasure Series. I look forward to your impression of the 300B-Z version. | |
| Outlets I've also gone through the PS Audio and Oyaide stuff. All added colorations that took away from the naturalness of the music. I've not heard the Shunyata, but the Porterport Hubbells let the music flow as naturally as possible. Bettering them for ... | |
| B&W Cdm 1nt vs B&W 685 ??? The B&W CDM 1NT are a classic. I had a pair from 2000-2003. I regret selling them. If I find a used pair some day in mint condition and assuming I have a little extra discretionary spending money, I'll grab them. The light cherry finish was ve... | |
| Outlets I have tried both and much prefer the Hubbell 8300H( Porter Port). The Hubbell is much less expensive as well. Albert sells them for $36.00/ea. IMHO, of course. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I say we take the power supply out of the Dude and put it in the AH preamp. Then we'll call it the Frankenstein. (o: | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Actually I made a mistake. Ater browsing through some of the older posts here, I read where member Tvad tried out the TP 2.1nb and it didn't work for him in his system. Victor also mentioned somewhere, either in this thread or maybe in a private e... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Joe, There are a few others who have owned a version of the AH preamp and have since moved on to other preamps. Grannyring has so far been the only one with the cajones to post about it in this thread. I'm sure we'll hear from others some day. I'm... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy, Load up your speakers in a van or truck and take them into the dealers for comparison. That sounds like fun. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ait, Let us know how that Cardas Litz works out for you. Serguei, at Stealth Audio, is also a strong proponent of litz wire. In a good geometry, litz has many advantages versus other conductor types. Sounds like you're going to be a happy guy, esp... | |
| How did you discover audiogon? I was googling something regarding audio reviews and found the Audioreview web site. While browsing through some of the reviews (I think it was one written by Gunbei) I saw a reference to Audiogon and the rest is history. I've been a faithful memb... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Bill( Grannyring) and Pat(Rx8man) should plan a get together to compare preamps. That would be a fun read. How close do you guys live to one another? I live out in the left armpit of Texas(El Paso). With the drug war going on just a few miles from... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier The 200 hour mark on the Claritycaps is the first milestone where the caps begin to relax and slowly disappear. They will continue to gradually improve even more through the next 100 hours. Enjoy the music. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Charlie, I look forward to hearing your impressions of the sound of these upgrades. |
