Help - Need Preamp under 5K for Class D amps
I've heard a lot of good things about the Dodd. I thought about building an Audio Note pre as well as I love DIY. I'm looking for a theatre bypass function. In the interest of keeping 2 channel and HT seperated, and needing a multichannel amp anyw... 
Help - Need Preamp under 5K for Class D amps
The Truth mods are definitely on my radar. I thought however that the pre would give me the flexibility to cure my cable swapping issues when viewing home theatre. Thanks! 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
RX8man, Did you here a modded TP through the Audio Horizons/Nuforce 9SEV2 combo? I'm ready to ship my TP to Dan for the tube output stage. But that's still a 2K upgrade! Since I don't own a pre, I seem to be spinning my wheels between modding the ... 
Transporter to Nuforce 9 SeV2 preamp search
Rydenfan What is your associated equipment/speakers? Do you have MLS speakers? Have you listened with the Audio Horizon 2.0?I anxiously await this shootout. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
This thread has drawn me to consider this preamp. I currently use my Transporters volume control straight to my Nuforce 9 SEV2's. Now I'm thinking if sending my TP to Modwright for the tube output stage and trying the AH 2.1.I was thinking about t...

Sorry folks, I meant Audio Horizons, not NOT Nu Horizons - yikes! 
Transporter to Nuforce 9 SeV2 preamp search
Wanting to have Dan at ModWright perform his magic on my TP, I wondered about the pairing of the Modded TP and the Nu Horizon 2.1 preamp. It keeps costs at a relatively sane level ~4K and should give me plenty of the magic I'm looking for. Thoughts? 
Transporter to Nuforce 9 SeV2 preamp search
I heard the modwright 36.5 on a very different system. I tried to glean what I could from my listening experience. Spatial cues and transparency are what I'm trying to improve upon. The 36.5 at 4K may be the ticket. The Sig 9 might work great as w... 
Nuforce 9 SEV2 mated to Transporter - what pre?
Not to hijack my own thread but I find a great number of isolation devices available at many price points. Is the Finite Element Ceraball one of the better ones? 
Nuforce 9 SEV2 mated to Transporter - what pre?
I don't have any direct isolation under my Nuforces or my Transporter. I do however have my devices sitting on the Adona isolation platform rack. I thought this might be enough. That being said I really don't experience listener fatigue on this se... 
Impressions of the BAT REX
Most excellent review. It's obvious you love this preamp. I've been curious about the BAT pre's and now I'll have to add this to my audition list, unless of course it's well beyond my means - and I bet it is...Thanks for the review! 
Nuforce 9 SEV2 mated to Transporter - what pre?
I've seen a lot of posts regarding the AH 2.1. I noted that the options on that pre can really push the price. It's not a bad thing as it's nice to have options! I like the Dodd because I don't need a high dollar power cable and it seems to posses... 
Lack of depth problem
I had a similar problem. I had given up and concluded that my speakers were incapable of producing depth. On a lark I purchased a DIY power cable from VH-Audio - Flavor 4 with the Furutech connectors. I wasn't looking for a fix here, just curiosit... 
an amp without "electronic" sound
I'll third the Nuforce SEV2's. No transformer, no tube, just amplification on a stellar level. Still however, to add a little bit more soul, a very good tube pre would be magical.. 
Review: NuForce 9 V2 SE Amplifier
Great review Denf! Thought I'd add my 2 cents. I'm 2 months into owning my ref V2's replacing my venerable Classe CA100's which now serve surround sound duty. In my 40 years of audio insanity these amps have educated me in a way I'd not thought po...
