Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier
Sorry to say I have not. With as many amps as I have owned and heard I just have never tried a Spectron. 
TRL 595 Discussion Died Years Ago
Shake777I purchased a modified Sony 900 from TRL about 1.5 years ago. I so enjoy it. I just sent it back to TRL for Paul's latest power supply upgrade. I have it back now and have to tell you the sound is perfect to me. Relaxed, open and so natura... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Robertwofee,I did replace my AH with the TRL Dude, but my AH preamp did not have the latest upgrades available from AH. I think his latest with all available upgrades would cost well over $4500. The Dude cost $3500.I would like to compare the two ... 
Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier
Wow, your amps are huge!Yes that would work, but thin one SP1 under each amp would be better - just center it underneath.One additional tweek you must try with the Sistrum stands.Place about 3 pounds on clean sand in a large zip lock bag. The ones...

Charlie, glad to hear that without any burn in you love the upgraded DAC. That is a great DAC and I am sure it is now something very special.I have an idea for you if your amps are on the floor. Place them on Sistrum SP 004 stands and then place a...

I agree 100%. All of us should try this if we are the type that leave their systems on all the time. I am that type.Bill 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
Yes, that would me a nice option for some. My 24 step works just fine for me. I have been playing with stands/footers under the Dude. The Sistrum stands sound best to my ears. Better then maple, brass, carbon fiber and sand box types.Brian, you sh... 
advice on amp - $3,500 maximum budget
Ok, I have heard your speakers and they are very open and revealing. Great imaging and wonderful. Your desire for a warm and refined sounding amp makes complete sense to me.I have owned the RM200 and must tell you to stay away from it. It is a tad... 
Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance
Vett93My higher capacitance Audio Horizons IC's sound better from my Dude pre to Samson amps then the much lower capacitance Blue Jeans IC.No rolling off of the highs at all with the AH IC's. They are simply more full bodied and refined sounding w... 
What is Good Value Starter Amp in the 100-200wpc
Applied Research Technology Sla 1 or Sla 2. These can be had for $175 - $300 new on Ebay. They are amps used in recording houses and they sound amazing for the money.I always have one on hand for fun or back-up. Mine bested many amps on this site ... 
Quality speakers that don't need tons of power
If you like a refined, full bodied sound that is more mid-hall in perspective, then the Silverline Bolero speaker is easy to drive and just beautiful sounding. 92 db , 8 ohms and very easy to drive. 
Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance
I just got a set of Blue Jean cable IC's to run between my $4000 preamp and $5500 amps. The LC-1 cost me $38 shipped for a 5 foot set. Do the math folks....they sound very good and I will let you know more once they are burned in more. 
Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer
Easy answer here. Blue Jean LC-1
