I was just looking at a photo of the insides of a TP 2.1 preamp in a current AH ad. The link is to a photo. I'm curious of what changes have been made lately. Based on the photo, it looks like the power supply board has been changed back to the TP 2.0 version. Also, the caps look like something new, not the wax-type with copper foil wrap that were previously in there.

Well,well,well. It looks like the new TP 2.2 is finally here. Anyone take the plunge yet?

Looks to be a winner like 2.1 would love to hear from users when broken in. I can attest to 2.1rnb this preamp is a very important part of my system and delivers music like i expect quiet, full body and image, a super sound stage, and life like timber.
Sherod using Clarity caps was an important move up. I just lost my money source and cant make big buys for now but i will invest in the hifi tuning fuse.
i have a 2.1 and a 2.2 in at present; the photo sherod posted is of the 2.1, the 2.2 uses a single larger R-core tranny. otherwise, very similar inside.

areas of difference favor the 2.2, which uses hifi tuning fuses & a furutech IEC, along w/ a tube biasing board & some diff resistor brands in the gain stage, but one area that favors the 2.1 is the dual trannys. hard to say which sum of parts is better, but both units are fantastic.

going back & forth at this point is mute, as i upgraded the caps in my 2.1 to V-caps...this is a significant improvement and worth every penny (its a simple DIY task). i'll have a formal writeup of the 2.2 on PFO soon enough.

Many of the new pieces in the 2.2 I had installed in my 2.0n thanx to Pat.I'm hopeful that at some point I will have the luxury of being able to compare the two.I can't say enough positive things about the Clarity caps,they definitely provide an uptick in performance.
