| Help with $6k - $7k amplifier setup The TRL D-225 amp for $4000 new is a great amp for the money. You can mate it with a nice passive preamp (I use the K&K Audio TVC) or a low gain active preamp. Either way you should be well within your budget. | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V In addition to the CRL Silver, I'm also going to try my VH Audio Flavor 4 which has been great on my TRL Audio Mirror DAC. | |
| Seeking hot running amps Cary V12i definitely heated my room up. | |

| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V I have the battery powered TRL 900 coming to me. It is my intent to use a CRL Silver power cord on the player for the transport and digital stage.

| DAC or CD Audio Note will offer a non-os approach to digita-to-analog conversion and should be heard in comparison to upsampler DACs. Go to their website, as well as Sakura Systems (47 Labs) and read the papers on the non-os philosophy. It is well worth inv... | |
| Good sources for tubes other than Upscale I certainly do not doubt that many have had excellent dealings with Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. Considering the source willing to put their reputation on the line for the man says something about him as well. However, I can only go on my own expe... | |
| Can anyone recommend a smooth, rich CD player? I recently listened to the TRL modified Sony DVP-NS900V in a system with VMPS speakers and the sound was fabulous, a great match. Also, this player was used in the VMPS room at CES as their primary source. Brian Cheney purchased a unit of his own ... | |
| does anyone know how to contact mitch singerman (310) 823-5145. I dealt with him a few months ago so that number should still work. | |
| Silver vs Copper cables Lkdog,"Clio09 above is mentoring me a bit as he has much more experience than I owning and auditioning IC's."Thanks, for the compliment, not sure how good a mentor I'll turn out to be though. I am definitely interested in hearing your impression o... | |
| Can anyone recommend a smooth, rich CD player? If you can locate a used Sony DVP-NS900V send it off to TRL for their standard mod package and for about $1000 or so dollars you'll have exactly what you are looking for.Otherwise, if your existing CDP has a good transport, try a non-os DAC like t... |
