| Best DAC for under $1500 I had the North Star. It is a very smooth and analog sounding DAC. Works great with the matching transport. Another option I would consider is a Monarchy M24 or NM24. The M24 is tube only and available used if you can find one. The NM24 has both t... | |
| Monarchy Audio M24 and DIP upsampler CC Poon recommended I use one when I had my M24. I found I didn't need it though. I was using a North Star transport that could upsample the signal to 24/96 which the M24 could read. Other transports I tried with the M24 had varying results. Perso... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp I have the battery power supply for the Pre-1.5 preamp. I hope to some day get the battery power supply for the D-225 amp I have. In the preamp the batteries are housed within an ST-225 chassis. So that is convenient. The preamp is biased for Clas... | |
| Ultra high resolution Dazzdax,A TRL (Tube Research Labs) amp, either their monster tube designs (there is an ad for one on Audiogon right now) or their solid state designs will deliver ultra resolution and transparency, but will not sound aggressive and will actually b... | |
| Best Preamp $2,000.00 budget FWIW - I was speaking to Israel Blume about his speakers and when I mentioned I was also trying to get a full function preamp he recommended the Doge 8. Its offered here on Audiogon I believe via Pacific Valve (Joezillax) and is uner $1500 with a ... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp Paul told me the gain on my amp was about 37db and input sensitivity .8V. I would have to agree with the gain number as most preamps I used with this amp could not get past 10 o'clock on the volume control before reaching my preferred listening le... | |

| Supra Swords or MIT's I would go for the Supra Sword cables. I heard the speaker cables in my system and was impressed. | |
| Old tube amp? The Dynaco is a good suggestion, but you may also want to look at an original Music Reference RM-10. Like the Dynaco an EL-84 design but with a bit more oomph. I'm looking for one myself. | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp Bill,You described the sound quite accurately. Seems you've become quite acclimated to the ST-225. Glad to hear you are enjoying it. Now just wait until you hear the CDP with it. | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp My D-225 is also "sealed" but not my Pre-1.5 preamp. I believe in addition to being stripped the screws are also epoxied. Trust me, I've tried to open this thing and its not going to happen. Instead I just sit back and enjoy it now.Mine has been p... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp Sherod,In TRL's case you just have to pick up the phone and call or shoot off an email. Paul is very responsive. The TRL website isn't all that well maintained and lacking in updated information. The solid state designed gear is a relatively new v... | |
