| Review: TRL, Inc. Dude & Samson Tube preamp Having owned TRL SS and tube amplification, I can understand his sentiment. The ST-100 smoked a world class German amp (ASR), but I also agree that implementation and system matching is key. I think there was an occult mismatch between my source a... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Schw06, how about some system pics homebrew? That would help people visualize this.... | |

| Quantum QRT QX4 Dcizmok, I was speaking metaphorically in that this is endemic to "hi end" audio. There are more extreme examples to be had highlighting an inverse relationship between parts quality and cost. An engineering pedigree does not necessarily safeguard... | |
| Review: TRL, Inc. Dude & Samson Tube preamp Doug Baer said the GT-200s smoked the Krells. I would demo those..... | |
