TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
I was listening to great music tonight and am so thankful for this amp. Natural is the word of the night. Music flowed so naturally and easy.Every CD I play just gets my full attention. I keep my amp on at all times and have not noticed a larger e... 
Supratek out of business
This is true. Always a risk, bigger risk, buying from the smaller "one man" type of audio companies. I know they had grown nicely over thier few years of exsistence. I find some of the very best gear/sound for the $$ is found at these small direct...

Clio09Yes, the amp is rated at 225, but Paul did say it puts out closer to 300 watts per channel. I have owned monoblock amps rated at 400 watts per channel that can play very loudly. What is special about the ST225 Int amp is even at sound pressu...

I am really not sure why the top screws are stripped, but if anything goes wrong the amp would need to go to TRL.I suppose one could cut a slit and then use a flathead to remove the screws.Not sure if all units are that way or just mine. I have no...

Not sure how to post a picture on this thread? Can't open up the unit as the allen screws are stripped out to keep folks from peeking in and trying to copy his work. TRL would have to do that. I don't know much about the unit and really have not c...

SherodI so understand your thinking on this. I owned the AH preamp you have with $14,000 Canary CA339 tube monoblock amps. These tube amps tipped the scales at 70 pounds each with 8 - 300b tubes pushing out 50 glorious tube watts per channel. Many...

Yes it now fully broken in. I did find improvement over a 150 hour burn in time. I played it 24/7 for a week and have been listening for another 6 weeks or so.I say the amp now has over 300 hours on it.You are correct about AC power running the di...

ClioO9I am also getting one of his power cords for the ST225. Don't need one for the CD player as it will also have his battery mod. I don't think a power cord will matter on his fully modified Sony with battery?Like to hear your comments on this....

Jes45Understand and have had the pleasure of emailing others directly. I am ordering a modified Sony CD player from TRL as I am just floored by Brian & Paul's work.Take care,Bill

When I say this int amp is better please understand I don't mean by some small margin. It has utterly transformed my music and my audio experience like no other piece of gear.After "playing" with so many great amps I figured no system could ever r...

Panheadscooty,You will just not believe how good this amp is. Forget the word downsize as it will be the finest amp you have owned. Music will flow and you won't feel like it's missing that or could do this other thing better.It takes a few weeks ... 
Need opinions on super tweeters as an add-on
Johnk,My speakers are a three way conventional box with a 1" silk dome tweeter." The silk-dome tweeter is sandwiched, D'Appolito style, between two 5" midrange drivers. Rated frequency response is 33Hz-27kHz, and sensitivity is 90dB at 4 ohms. You... 
Need opinions on super tweeters as an add-on
Mechans,I love my current speakers and cannot find a speaker with better body, warmth, power and scale. I just tried the latest speakers from the manufacturer and while they are 8 years newer and thousands more, I much prefer the older model from ... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Hi CkoffendYes, I think Joseph can build your pre with an HT pass through. I would email him to confirm. The 2.1 is very smooth in the treble and would be a great match with a nice SS amp like your Krell. Stage is wide and deep. One of the preamps...
