Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Gammajo i am auditioning a 2.1 and i will say this about digital to vinyl. i am like you on the ratio. i have played cds during my time with 2.1 and i am very pleased with digital play back through 2.1. it still does not rank with vinyl in terms of transparency and resolution, but all in all digital played through 2.1 has great musical playback and easy listening. IMHO
i have discovered by trying myrtle wood, aurios, brass footers, that brass footers improves imaging, and adds more transparency and air than the others. IMHO
after a great night of staying up way late rocking and rolling that this 2.1 is coming along very well. upper air and a smooth transparent sound is getting more and more apparent. bass with super slam, and magical mids, this tubed preamp mates very well with my amps
i listen to classic rock most and had the volume turned up and had a real pleasing night of music.

Good news Stltrains. I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying your new preamp. I had a gut feeling that it would mate well with your amp. Keep us posted on the further developments.

Sherod,
Thanx for the information on the power cords.Even with the Canadian dollar on par that's way too rich for me.Having said that I will be taking delivery of a REF 3 next week for comparison purposes.I believe contrasting statements like that are called oxymorons,he said laughingly.Will post my impressions at some point thereafter.

Markwatkiss,

This is the moment I've been waiting for, a comparison with a REF3, beautiful.

I never got the chance to do my shootout, my amps have been down for a while and so am I.

Anyone else get their TP 2.0 upgrade ?

Rx8man,
I was shocked to see that you had sold your beloved VAC 220 monoblocs. I hope everything is all right for you. Did you ever get a chance to visit Robert to evaluate his Sason speakers? What's going on in your system?
