It's an amazing thing to hear a TRL component break in. Just when you think everything is set and you've heard all it can deliver- bam - you get more. Leaves you shaking your head a lot.

Great news Bill. Glad you're enjoying them. 
VAC owners, sound off
The VAC selected tubes are excellent IMO but if you must play with NOS then Andy at VTS is the one. You want the lowest noise and best matched tubes possible. Andy has never let me down in that regard.

Arthursmuck I've sent you an email through Audiogon.BTW - Nice VAC gear.

You sabotaged my attempt to hear the amps out ofsour grapes, it seems.Tvad (Threads | Answers)I don't get that statement at all and it's the furthest thing from the truth. Any attempt to hear these amps is a business transaction between you and TR... 
Which is better longer xlr or speaker cable
I just went through this scenario myself after obtaining a set of VAC monoblocks. I opted for the shorter speaker cables. The Mogami suggestion is a good one. You could also look into the Oyaide PA-1. I picked up a set of each and both are nice ca...

Rx8man, I hope you get to try the amps soon and can post your impressions.

Tvad, you felt it was important to post the first paragraph. What was wrong with the second paragraph? You had nothing to lose by posting it. After all it was you who said in an earlier post that you understood that TRL amps did not increase power...

TVAD, is that what I said?One must also consider past history. Isn't there an APL thread you can go play on?BTW - for the rest following this thread some other information from Paul that was provided to Tvad in the second paragraph of his email re...

At least not for you;)

Posts in other threads have stated that in-home trials are not offered by TRL, so I have never pursued it.Tvad (Threads | Answers)Why rely on what's posted in other threads? Why not call TRL directly and ask them about a return privilege? I assume... 
Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment
I miss Sean's posts around here.

I'll save Tvad the trouble of reading my comments on the M-225's (as I owned the stereo version D-225). My advice is to call TRL and arrange to get a pair. Listen for yourself. If you don't like them send the amps back for a refund. Pretty simple ... 
Jeff Rowland preamps
It may be entry level when it comes to where it stands in the JRGD product hierarchy, but it is anything but entry level when it comes to sound. A very nice preamp and for the used prices they have been showing up for here a bargain. 
Passive Preamps? Anyone?
Actually I would have preferred balanced, but the cost was prohibitive due to the added parts and work involved. George wasn't excited about tackling the project either. I was able to get him to build me one with dual volume controls so I could ha...
