Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Victor, I am pleased that you and Joseph have heard the merits of this new Claritycap MR. I have over 300 hours on mine and their transparency and superiority over previous caps have shown me the greatness of Joseph's preamp circuitry. I can go cr...

I don't know what dealers have it. Maybe Michael Percy. Here's the web site announcement: http://www.trt-wonder.com/

Wonder solder has a new improved solder called the Signature. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
One of the things I would like to remind all Audio Horizons product owners( and to all audiophiles in general) is to periodically clean all your cable connections. Depending on where you live regarding differing conditions of humidity, unless you ... 
Acoustic Zen Satori VS Analysis Plus Oval 9
Tom, Many moons ago I had the AZ Wow interconnect in my system and realized that after comparing it to the next grade up, Reference Matrix, the Matrix had me spoiled. If you are looking for warmth, find a used pair of the original AZ Reference Mat... 
Audience PowerChord, Zen Tsunami, AP Oval 10
I have never heard the AZ speakers so I don't know how their bass output is. You might double-check your room placement of the speakers. Sometimes, speakers in the wrong location can cause a bass "suck-out". Electronics, as well as your cabling al... 
10 percent for cables ???
" What percentage of your house's worth do you spend on upgrading your Kitchen?" Nice analogy, John. (O:  
Audience PowerChord, Zen Tsunami, AP Oval 10
I currently have an Acoustic Zen Tsunami in my system. It is the least expensive cord presently in my system. It is the original model, which had an inexpensive Hubbell male plug on it. I found its performance to go up quite substantially by upgra... 
10 percent for cables ???
I don't think that you can put a percentage on the value of your cables to your components. It is what sounds best on each component, regardless of price. I've read where some people have found a $20.00 power cord to sound better than a $2000.00 o... 
Satisfied with your DIY power cord?
My AZ power cords both have their shield drain wire connected to ground on the male plug only. I just checked my Audio Horizon cord and the shield wire is also connected to ground on the male plug only. Hmmmmm... 
Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps
I think you're right, Mazda-Man. I currently have the MR caps in the outputs of my TP 2.0n preamp with a little over 250 hours on them and I am going through an ear-opening experience. These MR caps just keep getting better with time.

Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Only Joseph, and perhaps Victor, knows what the new cap in the 2.1 is. He is keeping it proprietary. The copper foil around the new cap is not there to hide anything about the cap. It is there as a shield to block out EMI/RFI. I doubt if the cap i... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Pat, I have a gut-feeling that an improved and more powerful power supply( quieter, with more dynamics and headroom) will be introduced by Joseph in his new preamp. Whether it is tube or SS regulated is a matter of taste, cost and preference. The ... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Mark, I believe the only U.S. distributor currently is Madisound. The cap is the new MR line cap. The value I chose is 4.7uf, which Madisound sells for $118.00/ea. I have read that a German distributor, Capsandcoils, sells for roughly half that pr...
