Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Hi guys,
I'm still on the fence pondering the upgrade to the 2.1.The
REF 3 was sold this week and I must say it was a thumbs up experience auditioning and comparing with my 2.0.Now that I have that out of my system I'm looking to change amps.With the CDN dollar on a roll it's a buyers market for us north of the 49th parallel.Stay tuned.

I'm looking to hear more comparisons to other Hi-End preamps, like Mark with the REF-3.

Well, I've demo'ed the TP2.1, and I now own an Atma-Sphere MP-1 MK III, but is that really a fair comparison?

Hi Grant,
From a price comparison, it wouldn't be a fair comparison, however, a couple of guys have said that their TP 2.0 versions sounded better in their systems than a couple of preamps that retailed for $16,000.00 plus. I would love to hear your impressions of the Atma-sphere preamp paired with your VAC monoblocks, though. Are you getting a nice sound through your speakers that you're happy with?

Yes very nice sound, although the V-Caps in the MP-1 require 400 hours of burn-in, and the preamp has only 30 hours at most. Excellent midrange weight, and excellent top end extension without etch or glare...my pet peeves.
