TRL 595 Discussion Died Years Ago

Shake777

I purchased a modified Sony 900 from TRL about 1.5 years ago. I so enjoy it. I just sent it back to TRL for Paul's latest power supply upgrade. I have it back now and have to tell you the sound is perfect to me. Relaxed, open and so natural. I have not heard a CD player sound this beautiful.

I now own TRL gear and wire all around with the exception of my Silverline Bolero speakers. I am so off the buyng and selling merry-go-round now. I just buy music and some odds and ends like amp stands etc.

I just want to confirm that my Sony unit from TRL is wonderful. The work is obvious with the top removed and his power supply modification fantastic. The power supply modification alone will transform any piece of gear as it is that profoundly good.

I wish I still had mine with battery power supply. 

I had mine for perhaps 5 years. At the time it bested ( to me only) all manner of CD players costing up to $4000 or so. My unit had additional power supply and output cap mods that I did and it also had Paul’s battery power supply added.

Now this player sounds very at ease and warm with a definite personality which may not be exciting enough for some. It is the antithesis of bright or edgy. Perhaps too dull for some. Paul modified the Marantz unit for those who wanted more top end emphasis and sparkle.

Well I am trying to remember, but as I recall it was a Cary 306. I really do wish I would have kept the TRL player.  

The battery power supply was a tad less dynamic, but a little more “analog” sounding.  Just more at ease/natural and less electronic sounding.
