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 in before you do any serious evaluations.

Stltrains - Welcome aboard:-)

Has anyone upgraded the 2.0n to the 2.1n and can you tell us what you found? I am not entirely sure the 2.1 is "better" sounding as it just may be different sounding? I don't know as I am thinking of doing the upgrade with the new caps, but have second thoughts.

I don't want to lose some of the warmth and "tube" sound by going to the new caps. I understand the new caps may be more extended, purer etc - but are they as musical?

Are they as musical is the real question.

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. I've already asked Victor. I am going to speculate that unless this new cap wasn't better, and more musical as well,that Joseph wouldn't be offering it in the new 2.1 version. Based on what Victor e-mailed me about his impressions on this new cap, he says that it is superior in every way to the current upgraded Hovland cap, i.e. more musical.
