| Cable Characteristcs - Silver vs. Copper I've been following this thread with interest. I have been using CRL copper ICs and have been really happy with them. Based on what I have read here I have a pair of Auricle Audio cables coming to me. I'm very interested in hearing how they would ... | |
| Recommended Player I suppose this will depend on your budget, but in either case give Paul Weitzel at TRL a call. They have modified many decks and they can either modify yours ($550 standard fee), or do a completely different unit for you. The Marantz SA-14 comes t... | |
| what is the best deal you ever got on audiogon Audio Mirror D1 Signature DAC. I bought two of them they were that good a deal. | |
| Hard Drive based system Ecruz,Email me if you like to chat in more detail about TRL. I can't tell you any more about the mods because I don't know the details either. However, I can tell you more about what to expect and where I think you'll see the most improvements. | |
| Prima Luna amp or preamp best speaker -Help Upscale Audio is probably the closest source to you, but they're in CA.www.upscaleaudio.comI believe they are the NA distributor. If anyone will know about the new models coming out it will be Kevin Deal. | |
| Hard Drive based system Ecruz,You don't know what you're in for. I was just talking to Paul's brother Brian Weitzel about this player. They have some pretty big things in store for it. I think you will be very pleased. Remember, it is a long break in process - 500 hours,... | |

| Hard Drive based system The TRL mod is that good. I have a transport and DAC modified by TRL. I also had a USB interface device that I was using to play music from a HD via my TRL DAC. I won't mention vendor names but this is one of those modified M-Audio Transits and I ... | |

| audio mirror dac Audphile - You're not raining on my parade. The similarity is where it begins and ends (I have a Lite DAC and actually took it apart because I am having a custom case made for the Audio Mirror and needed a model to work from). The topic has been b... | |
| audio mirror dac Audphile1 - negotiate with him. 5 days is a joke. I personally like Vlad but a marketing genius he is not. I would be interested in your observations, considering you will be comparing the new non-os D2 to an upsampling DAC2.BTW - I have not heard... | |
| Liquid CD treatments? Nickb - I am using the new clear liquid that I experienced the clouding with. | |
| audio mirror dac Audphile you're correct. I did try other DACs, including the Bel Canto DAC1 (which lead me to seek out an audition of the DAC2 figuring Bel Canto couldn't make another lemon like the DAC1), in my system and compared them to the Audio Mirror, but a... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45 - yes this is the new line of solid state amps. The ST-225 integrated has been out for a little while and while that was something I was interested in, I decided to keep my Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII as a tube preamp and TRL was experimenting... | |
| Do tube dampers improve sound? I've done well with Herbies Halos as well. However, it is important to note that the use of Herbies Halos is not an exact science. While there is a recommended position for them, you can and should experiment with placing the Halos at different po... |
