| 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... | |

| Dali 400s, Best Speaker Cable ? I use AP Solo Crystal as mentioned above. I use two runs for true biwire. Great match and choice!!! I used on some 800's and now on my Dali Grands.Bill | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp Yes, tubes are a thing of the past for me in my main system. I may play with a small tube based system for my bedroom someday. Bill | |
| 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... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp 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... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp 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... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp 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... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp 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... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp 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... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp 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.... | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp 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 | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp 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... |
