Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Glad your back in music again Sherod the cold solder joint strikes again. Was a common problem with Westinghouse Elevator controllers the old relay type every connection was soldered a real nightmare for troubleshooting.

Those early 60s CCAs sound great in our favorite line stage but for a lot lower price the cryoed 6h23s are a bargain. You get most of what the CCA delivers not quite the micro detail but most all else. Looking at them its hard to tell the difference in them and a Siemans E88CC tube. Our Russian friends seem to have coped that fine Siemans tube.

Gammajo,
Got any new impressions on your upgraded pre now that some hours are on it?

Hi guys,
Not to take this thread in a different direction,I just want to canvass opinions on Josephs new product,the RTS coupler.
Flip me a pm if you're so inclined.Enjoy the holiday weekend.

Upgrade update - AH 2.0nB to 2.2nB using cca tubes. I have over 200 hours on the unit at this time. Basically what I said in my 8/12 review still holds. The unit did go through a an awkward adolescence during which the bass deteriorated in quality and the treble exhibited harshness, but all is well now. Added to the initial impressions would be that the unit now sounds more relaxed, easy, and natural. It quickly becomes hard to remember the previous 2.0 sound and now I am mostly out of the analytical mode and enjoying the music with many CD's producing the thought "Gee, I don't remember this music being this beautiful".
