Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Thanks for the positive feedback, Bill and Mark. my plesasure to help spread the word. Yes, if Joseph builds it, we will come!
Just ordered cca's for postions #1&3 and early 60's gray plate Siemens for #2&4. Plus Herbie tube dampers. Will be interesting to see what that does.
Also I have been getting great results with a strange tweak. Instead of the myrlewood blocks under the preamp, I am using a tweak that cost me about 20 cents. From Lowes, I obtained a six foot length of polystyrine pipe insulation (a spongy black tube). I cut 1 1/2 inch rings off of this and placed four of them under the preamp. I also have them under my DAC and Transport. My oak shelves are not isolated well from the floor. This wells well for me in this situation.

Gammajo,

Where did you order your tubes?

Thanks

I watched several pair go on Amazon and at dealers for way more than I wanted to pay, so I searched audiogon threads for members that seemed to like the cca's, and who were knowledgeable and helpful in threads. I then wrote them asking if they might have a pair at a reasonable price. I recieved some very kind responses with the fellow I got them from selling me his last pair,as he is using Amperex more right now. I got my gray plate 88cc's from him as well at excellent price by being willing to go used rather than NOS.

I am going to try some Amperex Bugle Boy's this weekend and compare them to the cca's. They can be had on Ebay, used and strong, for $68 a quad. That is what I paid.

I used these in my CJ Premier 16 and they were great. I will now play with them in my AH preamp.
