Linnlp12,What brand of teflon caps did you install? Also, what tubes are you using?

I second the SLP-98. I just bought one and have had no problems with it. I own a few Cary components and find them to be high quality. The suggestion for AES is a good one. Also, these are rare, but the N.E.W. P-3 is a consideration. I traded mine... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
audioezra,The Alesis ML9600 is humming along and gets better every day. Thanks so much for providing me the opportunity to own one of the best products I have ever purchased and introducing me to the TRL family. I am planning on having Paul mod my... 
Cable confusion
I second the Pulsar ICs from VH Audio. I purchased one as a digital connection from my transport to my DAC. I splurged on the WBT silver connectors but if you stick to the Eichmann connectors the price is extremely reasonable. I also purchased a F... 
Cable confusion
I just purchased a pair of Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity speaker cables. They are still breaking in but even out of the box they sound very good. Considering the price was about $300 for the pair new, it is a great value. 30 day money back guara... 
Need advice on speaker cables
I decided to purchase the Alpha Core Python Hybrid bi-wire and MI-2 Veracity. Right now the Veracity is in and it sounds pretty good out of the box. I'm interested to see how it sounds after a couple of days. Interesting that the RC Zobel Network ... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
711smilin,Thanks for the response. I won't go wiith a one box as I'm really happy with the sound of my non-oversampling DAC. I will send Alex a note on this though as it looks like a nice rig. 
TRL 595-how good is it?
711smilin,This from the APL site:Denon 3910/EMM Labs Digital Transport now available (includes Denon 3910, price $3500).This is what I am interested in. Do you know about this unit? 
TRL 595-how good is it?
711smilin,Sorry, my mitake. Looking at it again it's the 3910 transport that is $3500. However, I'd be interested in this as my TRL mod is the Alesis ML9600 which I use as a transport. Do you know anything about the 3910 transport?As for the APL 5... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Alex,I would like to be put on the list for the 3910. I have a TRL modded component that I would like to compare it to. I am interested in your work and appreciate your comments here. Thanks 
TRL 595-how good is it?
711smilin,If I'm reading the information on the APL site correctly the 3910 is $3500 versus $700 or so for the TRL 595. Let's assume that the 3910 takes you 100% of the distance as far as sound goes and the TRL 595 is 70% of the distance. Are you ... 
TRL or VSEI Level 4 for Sony S9000ES
Donbellphd,I would speak to Paul about the best use of your Sony. The reason he recommended me to use the Alesis as a transport is that the original board in the unit prevented TRL from implementing many of the mods they like to perform on the ana...

Go with the Red Dawn. It's everything you're looking for and you can get good prices on new ones. Email me for a contact. I'm not a dealer but just bought some and can refer you to the seller. 
TRL or VSEI Level 4 for Sony S9000ES
I do not own a Sony, but TRL modified my Alesis ML9600 CDP, CRR, HD player and the results are astounding. Not to mention their standard mod cost is $550. It's hard to beat at that price. They are somewhat secretive about what they do. However, co... 
Need Help with Cable/Interconnect Recommendations
I just went through this process for the first time in 10 years and did a combination of buying used, new, or highly discounted new. I ended up with Nordost Red dawn ICs, purchased a new digital IC and PC from VH Audio for what I think is a good v...
