Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Well I have some additional comments on my updated TP2.0 preamp.This unit is more revealing then ever of the source component and any changes one would make in cabling.

I use a Music Metre Fidelus digital cable because in the past it has outperformed my AH Transparency digital cable in my system. This is no longer true.

The AH digital cable now sounds better in my system. My prior review was based on the Fidelus cable. With the AH digital cable my sytem has all of the positive attributes I pointed out in my initial review. All the same improvements, but there is more now!!

More weight and dimension to the sound. More tube warmth is coming through without any loss of detail or transparency.
Music has more body and texture. My goodness all of this mated with the purity on this preamp. Great combo folks!
The stage is even larger with greatly improved front to back depth. Bass has more power and impact yet!! Wow!!!!

I am so pleased with the improvements.

The performance of this preamp in one's system will always be outstanding. However understand this, I have found the updated 2.0 more revealing of other components ahead of it.
Change a cable and BAM it may float your boat even more! It did for me.

Excellent, Bill. I am happy to hear of your improved system's ability to accurately portray music. I look forward to hearing mine as well. Stay tuned.

Bill - Thanks for the detailed post. I am glad that you were rewarded so well for taking the chance at upgrade when the original sounds so good. I may well do the same after your experience. I am uncertain what you mean about digital cable. Are you talking about preamp to amp connect or something else, such as I use a 12Is between my Transport and DAC.

Gammajo, I mean the digital cable between the DAC and transport. I am sure the IC between a DAC/CD player and the preamp would also have a huge impact. Any cable or source before the preamp was the nature of my post.

It is always hard to put into numbers or percentages how much better a piece of gear sounds in a system. If I were to try I can say with assurance it is not some small single digit improvement here. It would be in the order of 20-35% better for me.

Bill,
I agree with your assessment about the preamp being so revealing. I loved my un-upgraded 2.0 so much that I couldn't imagine it getting much better, but when I put a Fusion Impulse copper/silver foil power cord on it, I was in heaven. If heaven sounds better than this then take me now, dear Lord. (<;
