Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

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.

The V-caps(especially the Teflons) require a very long break-in. If you like the sound now, you're probably going to love it in a couple of more weeks. Enjoy your new system.

I'm going to run my tuner through the MP-1 and leave it on 24/7. Don't know why I didn't start doing this 2 weeks ago. Sometimes I'm a little slow getting up to speed...
