Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Both Supratek units are more "tube" sounding then the AH preamp in the best way. More fullness or roundness to the sound compared to the AH.

Correct. The Cortese also produces a more holographic image in my system. Overall, I find the Cortese's presentation to sound more like real music, while the TP2.1 is more neutrally faithful to the recording. I believe the First Sound Presence Deluxe II, Modwright SWL9.0SE, and perhaps the new Modwright preamp would be preamps to try in head-to-head comparisons with the TP2.1. Especially the First Sound.

I have had many system iterations of neutral and transparent. I have chosen to move in a different direction.

Grannyring,
Did Joseph give you a parts,etc. breakdown of what all he did in your 2.0 upgrade. I have sent my preamp to Joseph to have mine done and was curious if Joseph gave you an itemization of what he did.

Sherod, no he did not. A complete list of what we does is on his website as an FYI. I will be interested in your impressions.

I wil give another update after 72 hours of burn in.

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks Bill, you got me very interested. My 2.0nB was made right before the switch to 2.1 and therefore Joseph put in some of what the newer unit has. I will have to check out the difference. I am very happy for you that you achieved such improvement - that is always satisfying

I just checked the website and didn't see anything about the upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1. Lots of info on the upgrades for the 2.1 itself as well as various upgrades to other preamp brands as well though. Maybe that is why Victor commented that he'll be making an announcement at the end of the month about this particular upgrade. I wonder why he's going to wait until the end of the month. Hmmmmm...
