| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Josh, I personally haven't had an opportunity to have a VTL 5.5 preamp in my system so I can't offer a comparison for you. My suggestion is that you ask the dealer to let you borrow a VTL 5.5 and listen to it in your system for a trial period. Aud... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Joe, I'm happy to see that you are so happy with your system that you're willing to wait until you're snowed in before you tweak your preamp anymore. I'm curious if anyone has tried the elusive Amperex pinched waist 6922 tubes. They are rare and e... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century You were fortunate Grant. That volume surge you experienced is the equivalent of having your volume knob turned all the way up. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ouch, Grant! Did any of the speaker drivers get damaged? | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Joe, I'm wondering what the Amperex PQ's in location 2 and 4 with the Siemens CCa in the more critical 1 and 3 locations would do for the sound. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Okay, then Sherod, why haven't you upgraded to the new 2.1n package? Well, as much as I'd like to( I might in the future) I am currently enjoying my 2.0n so much that the thought of having to carefully pack up my preamp, take it to fedex on the ot... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Well, Bill, I guess no one has yet upgraded to the new 2.1 from their 2.0. The upgrade consists of other things as well as the caps. In order to get Joseph's new caps, you have to buy the entire upgrade package. He won't sell the caps separately. ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Welcome Stltrains, Here's hoping that the TP 2.1n will be a good synergistic match in your system. Have fun with the evaluation and please keep us posted these next couple of weeks on its progress. Don't forget to allow a good 72 hours to pre-burn... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Mark, I will tell you all the power cord brand and names in a little while. I need to get the full measure of these cords in my system before I make a final decision. So far, I'm very impressed. Maybe by week's end. Stay tuned. You know I can't ke... | |
| Stupidgood: Ars Sonum Tell your wife how "Stupidgood" she looks today and she if she gets it. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Bill, if you knew Tvad like I think I know him, I'll be willing to bet that he's already cherry-picked a NOS pair of Siemens CCa to try in locations one and three. By the way, I'm currently beta-testing( so to speak) a new, unknown power cord line... | |
| Review: Ridge Street Audio Alethius Copper Speaker cable Nice review. If you like the Quicksilver Gold after just initial listening, wait for another week or so until it breaks in and you'll be amazed just how much it gets better( that and the additional break-in of your cables as well). Enjoy your new ... | |
| Speaker life expectancy: How long can you buy used Audiofeil states: "I suspect that years alone is a poor measuring tool.I would guess hours of use, how the speakers were driven, and temperature/humidity conditions are more important determinants" I agree. Very important criteria. | |
| Speaker life expectancy: How long can you buy used I have a 1986 pair of Rauna Tyr II monitors in my bedroom system that still sound absolutely superb. The woofer surround is rubber so it has many more years of good use. I have these powered by a rebuilt Pilot 402 receiver(1959 vintage) and it sou... | |
| my take on blind tests Hey Gunbei! You've been too lazy to post lately as well. How the heck are you? Long time no see. |
