| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I just upgraded the caps and wiring in my Reference 3a Dulcet speakers. The cap is the new Duelund VSF copper foil and it is as good as they say it is. Can you say "natural"? After much break-in, these speakers are really showing just how good Jos... | |
| Founder of Valve Amplification Co. VAC passes... Arthursmuck, Thank you for the clarification. I did state that Channing was the founder and it was indeed his son, Kevin, who founded VAC. VAC was Kevin's vision. He has always been the main driving force behind the VAC equipment and it was Kevin ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I just put a 2.2uf VSF copper in my mini-monitors and these Duelunds are very big and heavy compared to the caps that they replaced. The speaker manufacturer I bought these Duelunds from emphasized that the Duelunds require several hundred hours t... | |
| Outlets Hey Relentless! How are those Porter Ports sounding ? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My goodness! 60uf Duelunds! Are they the size of a football? (o: | |
| Leviton Hospital Grade AC Outlet - Which One? A good "rule of thumb" is that not all Hospital-grade outlets are necessarily audio grade. The Hubble 8300H/I is definitely audio-grade. You won't find these in your Home Depots or Lowe's. Albert Porter has these as his Porter Ports. Only differen... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Hi Robert, No reason to feel lost. It's quite simple. E-mail or call Victor or Joseph to make arrangements for an audition. AH has a money-back return policy if you aren't happy with the preamp in your own system. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Great news, Charlie. I look forward to hearing more of your impressions as the unit goes through its break-in process. I'm thinking it will only get better. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I forgot to mention that much later, after Joseph had upgraded my tuner, I put some Blackgates in the MPX section of my tuner and it made another huge improvement. I have a 1977 Harman/Kardon Citation Eighteen tuner so the circuit could be a littl... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Gandme, Joseph will do some very nice things to your TU-919. The Blackgate caps he puts in the power supply and signal path will need some break-in time, but in a short while, you might just be listening more to your tuner than your Cd player. It ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Double Barrel break in time. Darrin, I had the Double Barrels a few years ago and if I recall, like most of the AZ products, the cables will open up nicely around the 150 hour mark and continue to improve up to and perhaps beyond the 250 hour mark. There are lots of variables... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Lucky you, Face! I'm having to settle for the lesser VSF coppers in my speakers. Let us know how the Casts sound. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Unless Joseph is specifically selling a demo unit and/or has otherwise changed his policies, I had thought that all units shipped for evaluation were new with possibly just a few hours on them. A comment from Joseph or Victor here regarding this w... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier It has been a few years now, but I recall deciding to keep my TP 2.0n after about 150 hours. My next step was finding a nice quad of Siemens CCa tube upgrades for further refinement. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Which brings up the question: If it really does need 300-500 hours break-in to sound its best, is Joseph's trial period long enough to cover that? |
