Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Bill,

I tried using a conditioner with my 300B stereo and found it to be slow also. Loss of dynamic ummph in the bass. I found going straight to the outlet and Joseph's Transparency Power cord to be the right combo I was looking for.

Its a shielded design and with the Oyaida plugs it outperformed some well known alternatives. The SET sound is very hard to beat especially with Joseph's AH Preamp.

I have my new Canary amps up and working. I have the CA309 with updated Hovland caps. Really very close to the CA339.

50 watts per side out of these 70 pound tube monoblocks. They are PP 300B amps. 4 - 300B's per amp. At this point I am amazed, so amazed at the sound that I am not sure what to say or how to say it.

Boy they mate perfectly with the AH 2.1 preamp. I have owned and heard many great amps in my home, but thus far these fit my tastes perfectly. I guess I will have to deal with 16 tubes as these amps are pure magic in my system.

La45,I have owned some nice SET amps from Wavac and George Wright. These 300b PP amps have all the SET magic with absolute power and authority like I have yet to hear in any other tube amp. You are correct in saying the AH 2.1 preamp is wonderful with these types of amps.

I purchased some wonderful NOS input and rectifier tubes for these Canarys and Wow!!!!! I though for sure my Belles Ref 350 and the AH preamp was the best I could do. It was very good and I enjoyed many hours of great music. Over the past 2 months I have been blessed to play with 3 great tube amps and I don't miss SS power at all!!

These amps also sound best plugged right into the wall with no conditioner.

Bill,
I'm glad to see that you found some tube amps that work best in your system. Hopefully you'll keep them for a while and enjoy the music.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone !

Hi, I recently bought a matched quad of the great NOS Siemens CCa tubes from Victors contact for these in Germany. They have not been plugged in once. They are just sitting in the box he sent them to me in from Germany. I am not using their great pre and don't need them. Just looking to recover the $650 & $15 shipping I paid for them. Anyone interested? See my feedback (rob755)..most legitamate! You can give a call or whatever. Thanks, Rob 541-404-0296

Hi Rob,
I'm curious why you ordered these Siemens Cca tubes and never used them. Did you buy them to put in the TP 2.0 preamp or for another preamp?
