You're welcome, Joe. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I look forward to Victor's announcements. In the meantime, I have had enough time to evaluate these new Claritycap MR caps in my TP 2.0n and they are something special. They have taken the preamp to a whole new level. I know, I know. You're going ... 
Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps
Here's the place to buy the Claritycaps. And make sure they are the new, blue-colored MR caps. Much more expensive, but well worth it.: http://www.madisound.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=claritycap+mr&categories_id=&sea...

Cedar, Thanks for the preliminary information on Joseph's new SET amp. Could you give us some information on your Beta testing of the TP 2.0/2.1 with new upgrades? I have had these new Claritycap MR caps in my TP 2.0n preamp for about 100 hours. A...

Ckorody, Was the crossover rebuild worth it to you in improved sound quality? 
capacitors
If you have some DIY( Do-it-yourself) experience and are handy with a soldering gun, replacing a couple of caps should be an easy afternoon of fun for you. get access to the cross-over network. Determine the capacitance and voltage of the caps in ... 
VH Audio Vcaps
Thanks, Dave. My MR caps currently have about 50 hours on them in my preamp outputs. I have previously had Vcap OIMP and Hovland Musicaps in there and so far, the break-in seems to be much gentler with the MR caps than with the others. The Hovland...

I just recalled that Victor was going to make an announcement( it's been a while) of a new all-out-assault flagship preamp. Has anyone heard any news about that lately? 
What would you do with an awesome quad of 6BQ5?
If you got a good deal on the tubes and they are a matched quad with near-NOS measurements, you could always re-sell them for a tidy profit and use the proceeds to buy you some nice mountain bike equipment. (O:

At least you have dedicated lines. I live in a rental home with the original lines put in by the contractor when they built the house 17 years ago. 
Oyaide Tunami GPX-R: Two for One
It's a synergistic thing. Apparently our systems like to see that nice extra cord before they see the cheap wall wiring. (O:

I did the same thing on a 2M Neotech power cord that I built from VH Audio. I used one piece on a power outlet box for my bedroom system and made another one for my dad's system. Great sound and very cost-effective, especially in these tough econo... 
What would you do with an awesome quad of 6BQ5?
And after your therapy, find a vintage Fisher or Pilot amp or integrated that uses these 6bq5 tubes and hear the magic that these tubes have. For current 6bq5(EL84) tubes, a good matched quad of JJ EL84 tubes are sounding very good in my refurbish...

I just installed a pair of new Claritycap MR caps in my TP 2.0n preamp. So far, they only have about 24 hours on them, but I think these might just raise this already great-sounding preamp to another plateau. Stay tuned. 
Crossover component upgrade, DUELUND????
Thanks for the feedback. They only have about 16 hours on them in my preamp and I can already hear an improvement.
