| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? I have now purchased the Dude preamp by trl - this is a tubed unit. My previous favorite pre was the Audio Horizons TP2.1. The Dude bests it in all areas and by a good margin.If one is interested in the new trl gear they must be ..1) patient , as ... | |
| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? Tvad,I understand. Wonder if Paul offers a trial period? I don't know. The few owners I know all share my "over the top" comments and shock over this amp.Bill | |
| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? I was wrong about Belles and SP speakers. I was thinking of another speaker company - Source Technology.SorryBill | |
| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? I think SP uses Belles amps to voice their speakers.After owning several Belles amps and others mentioned here, I must tell you one amp stands head and shoulders above the rest.Get a trl D225 stereo amp as it is the best amp for your speakers. I c... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I had this same transformer hum - mechanical - coming from the unit itself and not through the speakers. Some transformer/power supplies do and some don't. May want to check to make sure it is tight as a loose bolt or two will cause a mechanical h... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp I stand corrected as the preamp section in my ST225 int amp is passive with a very high quality volume control.I will also be purchasing a Dude as soon as I can afford one, but for now I love my TRL int amp. The amp section in my int amp is exactl... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp The preamp section of my ST225 is quite similiar to the Dude as I understand it. The whole wanting or liking a tube preamp thing just goes out the window with TRL's latest SS gear. It becomes a non-issue as this amp sounds like music not tubes or ... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp I did try my integrated with a fully upgraded and loaded AH 2.1 with Joseph's best tubes. I loved that preamp!This is hard for me to say as I loved that preamp so much, but the TRL integraded was much better without the AH preamp. Now, I dont have... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp Ecruz,This is the very same experience I am having. Nice short review! The more time you spend with it the more amazed you will be.Buckle up!Bill | |

| What one product has redefined music for you?? TRL ST225 Int amp. Music plays like never before in my room | |
| Best Integrated, period. TRL ST-225 is the best I have owned. No remote however. It absolutely opened up my music collection like no other high end piece of gear I have ever heard. An utter and complete step beyond anything I have heard regardless of price. I cannot imagi... | |
| New to Analog and just played my first record in HermanYou're right. I have no idea if the cartridge is sounding its best or if it has lost significant fidelity.After playing that one Sting LP I have heard enough to know that analog is indeed special. It sounded pretty darn good on a 20 year old... | |
| New to Analog and just played my first record in Amen Rushton. My goodness this is my final post in Agon. Please read what I have said. I don't expect my minimal investment in analog to sound better or as good as my digital front end. I did not say that. I said I wanted some of the analog magic ... | |
| New to Analog and just played my first record in BlbloomI don't follow, but sorry you find it silly.I have worked pretty hard and have had fun finding wonderful gear at modest prices. Yes the little rant you gave above can and is true if one takes the time and a/b's lots of gear like myself.Agai... |
