Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Sherod,No I didn't,I will be raising that issue with Joseph when I send the unit to AH for a full upgrade,Clarity caps,power supply,Vishay resistors,transformers,etc.Talk soon. 
next step for my setup? advice appreciated
Pass on the tube buffer,it's just another link in the chain,spend the money on a DAC. 
Bryston B3 vs. LSA Standard - What would you do?
The original Bryston 3B's were nothing special and the 3 series didn't really shine until the introduction of the SST designation.The LSA Standard,if I'm correct is second only to the Statement.In terms of fidelity I would gravitate towards the LS...

Well as they say on Good Morning America,Audio Horizons is an AMERI CAN story. 
Keep my tubes??
Even Dr. Phil would recommend you keep them. 
What do you see as the downside of tubes?
You don't have "to spend more than $10K to get a good tube amp" That's simply a fairy tale. 
What do you see as the downside of tubes?
Tbadder,"3 out of 4 tube amps don't work" That's God telling you you have too much money. 
Which preamp?
Two more for your consideration.Audio Horizons TP 2.1 and the "Dude" by TRL.Audio Horizon fans have a detailed thread on this forum. 
Solid State Preamp for Nuforce 9SEV2
That is true.

Hi Clefhanger,will send you a pm,I don't want to clutter the thread with my ramblings. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
In response to Clefhanger I've owned the Capri and the Dodd and can say in no uncertain terms that the AH is superior to both.Now the Cary SLP-05,that would be an interesting shoot out. 
What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire
Just to satisfy your curiosity,and mine,audition the NuForce with the Dodd pre amp. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
That's one of assets I love about this pre amp,there's a lot of room to play around inside.I've decided to move forward with the power supply upgrade and clarity cap install.Just waiting for a final price.

No attack about break in time,just curious,no other reason.

You have not yet revealed how many hours of running time you have on the Capri and the NuForce.These pieces are like fine wine they take time.
