Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Rja, It appears that no one with Wadia amps has tried the AH preamp out with it. Perhaps you can get one for a free home trial and let us know how it sounds. 
Buying from Canada a hassle for you too?
I have been fortunate in having many transactions( buying and selling) with some very pleasant people in Canada. So far, no problems or issues. I have always used USPS air with packages weighing less than 30 lbs. I have heard that either way, ship... 
Buy it now?
Ebay seems to do well with the "Buy-it-now" option. I don't see why Audiogon can't implement it. It really depends on how quickly the seller wants to move it. I've seen Audiogon reserves in auctions set at, say, $500.00( which could be their buy-i... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Uh, Pluto. Sorry about your loss, but what does this have to do with this thread?

Chad, Yeah, right. Everybody likes anal retentive guys at their party. Now Jax2 is a different story. This guy is one funny Mofo. Search the threads where he and Gunbei( aka Gumby, our cute little green slanted-head buddy) used to trade funnies. N...

It's "MIGHT", dammit! May is for permission. Oops! Sorry, I was getting a little retentive again.

Power Cord Revelation
I have the Fusion Impulse on my preamp and the Predator cords on my VAC monoblocs. Although I heard a bigger improvement with the cord on the preamp, there was still a noticeable improvement with the amps. The synergy of them all was a complete en... 
Pet audiophile peeves - name yours
One of my pet peeves is the incorrect use of the word "may",i.e. "You may like these cables or you may not..." The correct word to use here in both cases is NOT "may". It is "might". There is a difference. I know. I am a bit anal about this, but t...

Yes, Stltrains. I agree with Gammajo in that a wood floor with a large area rug can work just fine. It will, in general, add a bit more liveliness to the room, which might be either a nice addition or not to the sound. Make sure that the first ref...

Well, I just had to get in that 700th post. We're slowly gaining on the Supratek thread. I am, unfortunately, without my main system for a few weeks, but I'm hoping to have it up and running and enjoying my music once again soon. I have e-mailed V...

Btstrg, While I am waiting for my re-build( reconvert back to 2.0n version) kit from Joseph, I am sending my amps back to VAC to check and scope for factory specs.

I just had an interesting e-mail from Victor. It looks like Joseph might be focussing on either a high-powered SET amp at 30-55 Watts or a high-powered push-pull 150 watts. This should be fun to see what he comes up with.

Rx8man, You might get a faster response from Victor by e-mailing him directly. I also am waiting for an answer from him as regards to my situation. At this time, my main system is shut down. Thank goodness I still have my bedroom system for some m... 
what kind of audiophile are you ?
Two and three for me. They go together, imho.
