Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Curiously missing from the latest review was any comparison to any other pre-amp, despite the fact the reviewer had two EAR pre-amps in his system. Given the price point of the EAR pre-amps, and the piece under review, a direct comparison would have been appropriate. I understand the reviewer purchased the unit, but people buy components for different reasons, not all to replace an existing piece. A comparison would have been helpful, and was curiously missing.

Why don't you email the reviewer and ask him about this.

Because its not my job to contact the reviewer and ask him what he thought "between the lines." Its the reviewers job to write an informative review that includes comparisons with other similarly priced components. When those comparisons are not in the review I begin to think nasty thoughts like the reviewer did not want to offend the manufacturer of the previously prized piece. Why should I ask him for something he should have included in the review in the first place?

Suit yourself. I have found sometimes people are willing to be quite helpfully chatty of the record if approached in a friendly manner.

One of the reviewers, although he wasn't specific, did mention that the new TP 2.2 sounded better than some preamps costing several thousand $$$ more.
