    Is it just me or has the ALP-45DP horn been changed since the preview stream? because if I remember correctly, in the stream it had the same horn as the ALP-46 can anyone confirm this? I can't say which one I like best, they're both very nice to listen to

    In the feedback thread for the route, someone’s noticed they’ve ripped & used TSC sounds for it, since the preview.

    Not sure if they’ve given us an old version with placeholder sounds or for some reason decided TSC had better sounds.

    It's nice. Sounds beefier.

    I honestly think I would prefer the ALP-45DP to have the same horn as the ALP-46 :(

    The ALP-46 and ALP45DP both use the Nathan K5LA 5-chime horn.

    However, Nathan horns are known to have had their tonal quality change over time as the manufacturing process changes, and the ALP-46 horns are over 10 years older than the ALP-45DP horns. So yes, they're the same model of horn, but they do sound different from one another.
