TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Bill, If you are getting the battery powered Sony DVP NS900V, unless I am not recalling correctly or the design changed from when I ordered mine only the analog stage is battery powered. The digital circuit still requires AC power. You may want to... 
Good Power Cord for TRL Modded Sony SCD-CE595???
The Tel Wire could be a good choice too. It is what I use on my transport and DAC (non-TRL components) and is quite flexible. Chris is great to deal with too. I forgot to mention that TRL, like Tel Wire also has a trial period, so in either case t... 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Tom,Check under Tube Research Labs. However, not much on the website. Best to give Paul or Brian Weitzel a call directly. 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Bill,What power cord are you using with the ST-225? If you're not already using one have Paul build you the Silver model he sells (for the CDP as well). It uses the same solid core copper wiring as in the amp. Great synergy and I use one on the D-... 
Good Power Cord for TRL Modded Sony SCD-CE595???
For all the TRL equipment I have I use their own Silver model power cord. It uses solid core coper wire. The cable is somewhat stiff and inflexible, but if you take the time it can be properly "molded" so it works in your system. If you need a mor... 
K&K phono stage
To answer your first question the original K&K SE has a knob on the back that let you select different cartridge load settings. For MC if I recall it was limited to 100, 300, 1000, and 47k ohms. I had Kevin take the setting for 47k ohms and se... 
High gain hybrid circuit ss/tube MC phono stage
The K&K Audio SE is a hybrid design. Offers a variety of gain options. 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
I have had the D-225 (non-integrated version of the ST-225) in my system for over 2 years now. It was Brian Weitzel's amp which was upgraded to current specs about a year or so ago (for free I might add). I am now using this amp with the TRL Pre-1... 
Cassette decks....reliability and build quality...
Get a used Nakamichi. I have had several and still own a 480, 2 550s, and a 680. 
TVC preamps: good or bad?
The ASL Flora uses autoformers. Audiogon member Teajay wrote a review of his that you can look up here. It replaced a Bent Audio S&B TVC in his system (which he also wrote a review for).Bent Audio is now using a custom version of the Slagle au... 
SS Amp for natural vocals
It's not main stream but the TRL D-225 will do it for you. Even though it is made by Tube Research Labs it is a solid state design. 
Power cord = steroids for a component--
You want a PC on steroids? See if you can find an original FIM/CRL Gold PC (not the new ones out there). For that matter even the FIM/CRL Silver packs some punch. These are high current, heavy gauge solid core copper that have excellent frequency ... 
FIM - how to tell gold,silver or bronze??
Jfrech is correct, the color of the jacket will tell you. If you still can't figure it out call Paul Weitzel at Tube Research Labs. He designed and built these cables for Winston Ma.I use the FIM/CRL Silver speaker cables and PCs. They're not goin... 
Altmann BYOB vs. Audiosector Patek vs. 47 Labs
Gmood1,As you know from having owned his DAC Peter is pretty talented. He sent me photos of the design and prototype. Unlike his traditional non-TVC integrated design, this does not require the separate preamp module. Everything is built into the ...
