Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

I would say I enjoy the music, the TP2 enhances/extends my system on both ends. Don't get me wrong, it is not to emphasize the sound, it is "just about right" (Their is an old saying in Chinese: "Do what it should and avoid what it should not"). It is hard to describe sound in word, why not try yourself and see? Regards.

Which preamp did you compare it to ???

McCormack TLC-1 deluxe, I compare with both the buffered/passive output. Other info:

Harbeth Super 5
Meridian 200 + 563
Meridian 504
McCormack DNA 1 deluxe
AQ Everest + Sky
PS Audio 600
Audio Horizon power cords

Thanks. You see how important it is to mention the gear that you used before. It still doen't say much about the qualities of the preamp. It's better than the Mccormack TLC which is a boat anchor for me. Glad you like it.

Hello. I am very seriously considering obtaining the Audio Horizon TP 2.0 preamp as my first tubed experience, given the wonderful feedback about Joseph and his products here.

Would you be so kind as to update your impressions now that most of you who have posted have been living with the preamp for a longer time than initial impressions posted here earler. I know that I can audition but do not want to do so until I am quite certain that I will keep, to be fair to Joseph.

Has anyone sold theirs and moved on? Anyone interested in selling thiers? Still feel it is the best available? The basic version is wonderfully priced - how necessary/desireable do you think the upgrades are, that are offered? How do you feel about the stock tubes versus upgrade? I am particularly wondering about the expensive B version transform upgrade as I will be presenting the preamp with an unbalanced source DAC but feeding into a amp that accepts balanced input. All short cable runs with clean power.
Associated equip Von Schweikert VR4SR speakers, Aragon 8008BB amp, Northstar Transport and DAC. Geurilla IC cable and PC's.
Thanks
Joe
