Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

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.

But what are those pieces which "costs several thousands more?" And why are they not mentioned in the review? I am not suggesting the review is wrong, but it certainly helps his credibility, the consumer's pool of information, to write "the Audio Horizons pre-amp sounded like.....compared to the .....preamp which I have heard in my system for ....months/years. Overall, I liked ......preamp better."

Rather than ask me why I don't contact the reviewer to ask him to tell me what should be, but is not, contained in the review, perhaps you can provide me reasons the information is not is not in the review in the first place?

Jamesgarvin, I understand that it would help you form a point of reference had the reviewer made specific comparisons, but they didn't. Maybe you should take Audio Horizons up on their free trial offer and report back on your impressions of how their preamp compares with those you have heard?
