Joe, just a brief while back I was very "green" about tubes. I learned quite a bit about them in general from reading through the Tube Asylum on the Audio Asylum website. I still go through some of these threads from time to time to refresh my mem...

Well said Rob. My sentiments exactly. And John, your comments are very logical as well. Grant, thanks for the use of "enthusiastic". I believe that word does indeed represent the handful of AH preamp owners. I tried the preamp fully knowing that I...

Joe, if you paid a premium for those Cca's, send them back to the dealer for a replacement or refund. I have read that tube dampers can sometimes over-damp a system.

Joe, try the Amperex out. I'm anxious to hear your impressions. Also, Victor gave me the go ahead to post his e-mail regarding phase: Hello Sherod, Many preamps and many amps reverse the polarity. This becomes a problem only when the preamp does,...

Here's one thread that gives some info. Do a search under "phase inversion" or "phase". Other words to look at are "inverse polarity", "polarity" and "reverse polarity" http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1143621906&read&keyw...

Welcome, Rhanson to the TP-2.0 preamp club. I just received a detailed explanation regarding the phase from Victor. I asked him if I could post the explanation on this thread and am awaiting his reply. I just reversed my speaker leads and the soun... 
Audio Horizon Cables? As good as the AH Preamp?
Audioblazer, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be much help in any cable recommendations for you. Your system is completely different from mine, so since cables are very system dependent, perhaps another member with a similar system to yours can offer mo...

Yes, Rgd, I have the same thought. I just e-mailed Victor about this and am waiting for a reply.

I just got an e-mail from Victor explaining the new preamp. It will be a combo linestage/phono preamp, available sometime in May. It will also be available as an add-on module for the current TP 2.0 users or as a separate phono only. Just as I had...

By the way, the designer's name is Joseph Chow. And since you've never heard his preamps, how would a comparison of his cords to his preamp be of any value to you in deciding to try his cables?

By the way, Joe. How are those Siemens CCa tubes sounding at this stage of evaluating? 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Well,Joe, to my knowledge, you are the first to mention this new version of Joseph's preamp. I have been in frequent contact with Victor and the only mention of a preamp is a phono unit that is still in the evaluation stage. Perhaps this is the ne...

Joe, I think you meant to say Victor, not Vincent, right? 
Audio Horizon Cables? As good as the AH Preamp?
Sorry, I didn't think about you living outside of the States. I actually have a various blend of different manufacturer's cords in my system. Audio Horizons cords are part of that mix. I suggest that you either list all of the components in your s...
