| New to Analog and just played my first record in Rushton, good idea. Problem is it would be different room, gear etc. Bill | |
| New to Analog and just played my first record in Understand. $1500 in CD player, but sounds better then many $4000 players.I have heard some say a good TT and decent phono will sound better then most CD players. The ART is really pretty good according to some who own it and have compared it to o... | |
| Amps on the cheap....real cheap Buy two Applied Audio Research SLA 2 amps. They cost $250 new each. One would also be enough. These are studio amps and sound 85% as good as the best solid state amps one can buy. I know as I have owned SS amps like the JC1's, Belles Reference and... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital I think great digital does indeed sound better than vinyl. One basic reason, I cannot get past all the noise with even the best of vinyl systems. All those clicks and pops etc - they drive me crazy and get in the way of the music for me.I hear to ... | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Look up my post on the TRL ST225 Int amp. Sell your amps,pre, extra power cords and IC. Buy this for $5000 and enjoy the best music you have ever heard out of an audio system.No joke, many of us have replaced $16,000 - $100,000 set-upswith this am... | |

| Resolution Audio Opus 21 TRL Audio mod I owned the Opus 21 and now own a TRL modified Sony NS900. It is his best mod with battery powered digital to analog section. The TRL unit is so much better you would sell the Opus 21 after listening for 10 minutes.TRL modified units are stunning ... | |

I will let it burn in 24/7 for another week before a say much more.Great combo with the ST225. I also have Paul's power cord on the ST22... | |
| How much longer will CDs be made? CD's just plain sound better then downloaded music right now. I will buy CD's until that changes at a cost less then my CD player - $1800.Bill | |

| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc To clarify the AR SLA 1 and SLA 2 amps are stereo amps that can also be switched to mono operation. When I say 85% of the best - I mean the best. 85% to me may sound like 95% to you - very subjective.These amps will sound as good as any $2000 amp ... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Surprised the Applied Audio Research Labs SLA1 or SLA2 have not come up. You can get the SLA1 for $189 and it is 100 watts per side. The SLA2 is 200 watts per side and $289.These are 80-85% as good as many great amps I have owned. Every Aphile sho... | |
