Help - Need Preamp under 5K for Class D amps
I have owned my TRL M-225 mono amps for about two months and all of my dealing with Paul & Brian have been very timely and professional. As Clio09 states every manufacturer has a few upset customers. TRL could not stay in business all these ye... 
Anyone have Legacy speakers these days?
I have listened to the Focus 20/20 many times at a friends house and they are excellent speakers. They do everything quite well and represent a outstanding value. 
Review: Tube Research Labs M-225 mono blocks Amplifier
Ecruz,Glad to see another happy TRL owner. My M-225's are still improving and you are right about how quiet TRL amps are.They are also the most nonfatiguing amps I have ever heard.BTW I have owned class A amps before and they always ran very hot, ... 
Too excited not to share - TRL Dude tubed preamp
Having just recently purchased TRL's M-225 mono blocks the TRL sound is quite additive. You are quite right TRL sounds like music not "hi fi". It looks like my CJ preamp will be going up for sale very soon. BTW your D-225's will continue to improv...

TRL M-225 mono amps. 
Review: Tube Research Labs M-225 mono blocks Amplifier
Tvad,Yes I purchased the M-225's w/o hearing them. Am I a risk taker? Not really, I pulled most of my money out of the market over a year ago! Am I the first person to purchase a audio item w/o first hearing it? I did my homework on TRL and Paul h...

Review: Tube Research Labs M-225 mono blocks Amplifier
Tvad,You are right that there is no information on their website about solid state equipment. I was able to email and talk with various TRL owners to get a better feel for the company and their products. I also had many conversations with Paul &am... 
Bi wiring Harbeth Super HL5's
I owned these speakers for 2+ years and tried the biwiring option once and heard no difference. I will add that the biwire cable was a different brand so the comparision may not of been very valid. BTW the SHL5's are some of the most enjoyable lis... 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Rx8man,I should first say that I really like the Nuforce amps and was very satisfied with them. Bill says it better than I can in that it does not sound like tubes or SS just great music. When you hear live music in most situations it does not sou... 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Rx8man,I just recently purchased the TRL M225 mono blocks and with only 100 hours on them they are the best amps I have ever heard. I owned the Nuforce and the TRL's are in another league. I have not heard the ST225 so I can't compare the two but ... 
Review: SMc VRE-1 Preamplifier
Dott_c,Very nice review. I am planning on purchasing a VRE-1 in a few months. Just read the 6 moons review today and the reviewer is agreeing with you on the best he has heard. Steve does great work. 
Best Integrated, period.
TRL! A few have posted the TRL integrated, I own the TRL mono blocks and I can't image a better sounding integrated.

What did you replace your Aerial 10T's with?
Tinear,I know your speakers very well and they are very good, I also owned the EMC-1 CDP which is also very good. You might want to try different cables. I owned the blue heavens which I thought were good until I tried better cabling and then foun...
