Audio Horizon Preamp

It's not that I have faith in the reviewers. I'm simply assuming that they would give the TP 2.0 a fair review and that they have somewhat decent ears for that review. I don't subscribe to any audio rags anymore. The only reviewer whose ears I've trusted is J. Peter Moncrieff( others might flame me for this statement). I've actually bought a few items simply based on his recommendations and I've always been pleased with what he's recommended. This hasn't always been the case with other reviewer's recommendations. I tried the TP 2.0 preamp based on the Audiogon's "anonymous" reviewer's recommendations and I'm glad that I did. I bought the preamp. I have no inclination to sell it and try out others at this time( I know, a bold statement from a die-hard audiophile). Now, when it comes to cables and various other tweaks, that's another story.

Sherod, I've just received my February 2007 Stereophile. I can't help but notice a full page ad for Stereovox cables, then low and behold, a full review on Stereovox cables.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm........

I have to weigh in here,I am a big fan of Audio Horizons and in particular Joseph Chow and his extraordinary products.I agree with others that Stereophile is biased when it comes to the product reviews.Another interesting observation,most of the writers opt to keep the piece they've reviewed for their own reference system.Come on,if that were true they would be replacing equipment every month.I have communicated with several audiogoners who own this product and we're all on the same page,this pre amp rocks.Take advantage of the 30 day home trial and feel free to e-mail me anytime.

I was told that major audio magazines have a policy of requiring a company wanting a product reviewed must have a minimum number of dealers. This clearly makes it difficult for small companies. I have also been very impressed with the Audio Horizon tube preamp and recommend it very highly. You can also email me if you want to talk more about it.

I always thought so too. The minimum used to be 5 dealers, which of course would then require the standard 40% dealer mark-up fee. However, I also noticed in the Feb 2007 that the WiFi music product on the cover is sold factory direct, so I guess they make certain exceptions to tehir rules.

Bottom line, if you are happier, you could pay $6K for the same preamp and have a glossy review. :)
