Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Hi Sherod

Giving the TRL Dude a try. I just got it today. I pulled the trigger on the DAC upgrade and Dude purchase at the same time. Finally just got the Dude. Both companies took forever to deliver but as you know I'm very happy with the DAC upgrade.

I can't say much yet about the TRL Dude other than thisbut I can say this. After only 7 hours the bass is already better than my Bel Canto Pre3 that it replaced. I can also sense the ease at which it play's at higher volumes. In other words the sound gets bigger not just louder. Way to early to comment otherwise.

I may have an issue with the right channel and the darn thing did not come with feet! Don't know what that's all about but it does not make me happy. Out of town all next week so catch up with you later.

Hey Charlie(Cdente),
How's that Dude and Dac upgrade sounding. I would love to hear your current impressions.

Hi Sherod:

The Dude is going through its second break in milestone and I'm replacing a defective tube. Give me a little more time and I'll fill you in.

Hi guys,
Trust most have seen the 50% off promo sale on mods being offered by Joseph.Fortunately I waited to do the "cv" upgrade,Clarity caps,Vishay resistors,harmonic re alignment(I love that term)My question is this,AH is also offering the install of line balancing out transformers for $550(ouch)and input transformers at $350,no discounts are being offered on these mods.Has anyone done this transformer mod,worth the money,consider doing both or just one and if so which one?

This new promotion is a good deal for those who have been holding back:

I am strongly considering the Vishay resistor upgrades. I already have the Claritycap MR caps in the pre outputs.
