Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

I auditioned the B version and used the balanced outputs. The 10dB output gain theoretically should be ideal for my high gain amps.

Grant,
I feel a bit uncomfortable mainly because I seem to be the only one so far who has issues with the new, upgraded preamp( besides yourself, that is). I just want to make sure that all is okay before I make any final assessments. I'm currently communicating with Victor who is awaiting a response from Joseph on what I can do to determine why I am hearing what I'm hearing.

Another vote for keeping the discussion on the thread as I too am interested, knowing that nothing is gospel and that you have to heard for yourself with your room, equipment and set of ears. I mostly use a grand piano in the same room as my reference as I go about changes to my system. Have to say that the original decked out AH 2.0(cca's,BN design) seems pretty darn close to ideal to me with my equipment. But I have not heard a broken in 2.1 yet.

It's interesting that Sherod and I hear the same essential things with the TP2.1, and we are using sister versions of the same VAC amps (Sherod - VAC Auricle Musicblocks/70 wpc KT88, Grant - VAC Standard Musicblocks/160wpc KT88).

There is something to this, IMO.

Well all i dont have a audition 2.1 any longer. I'm not letting this fine preamp go anywhere I'm buying it. It was not a easy decision as my nuforce p-9 is also a very good performer. Very quite, fast, but in the end i have warmed up to the sweet tubed sound of Josephs very fine 2.1 preamp.
This preamp seems to match up exceptionally well with my ref 9 se v2s and linbrook signature system. Along with my jps sc2 ics and speaker cables i am getting sound that i hope to live with for a long while.
Going to leave the explorer in me locked up and enjoy the beautiful sounds of music i am hearing now from my system. My analog front end is certainly providing the source for a clean, sweet, delivery of musical sounds.
I would like to give Joseph and Victor a big thank you for designing, manufacturing, and running a audio company that puts out super fine gear and offers a high level of customer satisfaction.
