Electraglide Synapses 2
If you can find a good used one for a dirt-cheap price, give it a try on your component. Odds are slim that someone with either of those Densen integrateds has tried the EG Synapsis II on them. Let your own ears decide.

Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I'm wondering if this upgrade will be available for us DIY-types to save money or if we have to send it to Joseph. I look forward to Victor's announcement. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
La45, It's been a while, but I paid Joseph to install the upgrade on my preamp. from what I recall there were three things done in the upgrade. When I decided to "downgrade" back to the original version, Joseph was very kind in walking me through ... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Luis, If you read through the previous posts, you'll see that the majority of those who upgraded to the 2.1 version actually liked it better, so that puts me in the minority, and there's a good probability that you might prefer the new version mor...

Luis, I'm not sure what the differences are between the new and old harnesses. The new harnesses are smaller gauge and more flexible than the old. Maybe Joseph or Victor can further explain. Joseph might want to keep the two versions proprietary. ... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I still have my original 2.0n version. I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but when I reverted back to the 2.0n from the 2.1n, the biggest difference to my ears was with the wire harnesses. I much prefer the old harness vs. the new one. My latest... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
If you're not happy after a week with the Cast on the mids, pop the vintage oils back in( you already know you like them there) and focus on some of the other tweaks recommended in previous posts. Bottom line, just enjoy the music. The tweaks are ... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Volleyguy, Did Dueland give you any idea of approximate time for break-in of the new Cast caps? I'm willing to wager that they need a couple of hundred hours to open up, hence the restrained mids and highs and accentuation of the bass effect. Give... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
"VINTAGE SANSUI SP-5500's.......Speakers made today are made for HOME THEATER....!!" Wow! It must be nice to be so out of touch with reality. 
What do you think of Elrod PC's?

Bottom line: Less noise, more music. 
Shunyata Python Helix compared to Taipan Helix
Paul, Ha,ha,ha! You know you've got something good when your system can fool the dogs. My dogs also help me when I'm evaluating new components. 
What do you think of Elrod PC's?
I often wonder what Mr. Elrod is doing these days. His Statement series are the last I've heard about. I wouldn't mind trying one of them out. I did have a Sig.3 model a few years ago and it was very nice on the amps I had at the time. I previousl... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Never had any problems in the two-plus years I've had my TP 2.0n preamp. Just as musical as the first day I received it. I'm still using the same tubes as well and I have put many hours on my preamp. I'm wondering if Joseph designed the circuit to...
