Anyone famaliar with the manufacturer,and in particular this pre amp.The credentials and testimonials seem impressive.The advertised 10 day audition is appealing.
A few more days pass, the TP 2.0 settles further into my system, with fully developed harmonics, solid imaging and an open, holographic depth of stage you can see into, extending to the back wall.
It has a tube sound and liquid texture to the overtones, very addictive.
All I could ask for in a simple, one-box solution, I'm a happy camper as y'all can tell by now.
Spencer, I've answered your first question privately. The rest of my system includes: Coincident Tech Super Eclipse III loudspeakers VTL Signature MB 185 monoblock amps Audio Horizons TP 3.0 tube DAC Levinson #37 transport (extensive upgrades by Joseph Chow) VPI Aries II turntable K&K Audio phono preamp power cords & interconnects by Audio Horizons Rand
I would like to give a brief initial impression of the Audio Horizons TP 2.0n preamp. I have the "n" upgrade, which is $250.00. This includes the better, larger Hovland caps and some further quieting in the power supply. I just got my amps in yesterday, so I was only able to hook up the preamp this morning, in fact, just an hour ago, so the preamp and rest of the system haven't even broken in. It takes at least 60 hours for the preamp to fully break-in. The overall sound at this initial juncture, is very good. My system sounds very musical with a pure and clean presentation. I am very impressed with just this initial listening. My next update will be sometime next week after full break in. My entire system is brand new to to me. It currently consists of:
Amp: VAC Auricle Mono Musicblocs Preamp: Audio Horizons TP 2.0n Speaker: Reference 3A Dulcet mini-monitors w/ Sound Anchor stands Speaker cables: PS Audio Extreme Reference(newest version) Interconnects: Von Gaylord Chinchilla and Legend VI Power cords: Mix of Electraglide and Audio Horizon
