TRL 595-how good is it?
I think that I have over 500 hours on my TRL 595 and it still is improving.  
TRL 775 vs EMM
It's a shame that the TRL 595 wasn't used for comparison, rather than the TRL775. More on this at Audio Asylum, Hi-Rez forum ...http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/messages/202190.htmlSorry that I don't know how to make it a clickable link ...... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
Jayctoy: Yes, I had a DAC6 and modified 1000 in my system for well over a month, (which should be ample time for break in, especially with a used unit). I mention this over at the "Is the TRL 595 really that good?" thread just FYI.My primary sourc... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
I couldn't agree more, LK Dog. When the lights are turned on, watch all the cockroaches scramble. What seems evident to me:1) 711smilin has no intention of giving the TRL unit a fair shake. That seems very odd to me. What would he have to gain by ... 
Which is better treatment - Caig ProGold / SST?
I'm very pleased with Quick Silver. Here's what I sent to the manufacturer after allowing it to break in 36 hours:Okay, I admit it, I tried the Quick Sliver, (QS from here on) on my single ended connections between the TRL player and the TRL GTP-4... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Umm, actually the TRL combo is $30K and I have heard the proto-type which is better than the TRL595. Is it $29,200 better? Some will pay the price for the difference. You get what you pay for ...Best wishes,Jack 
TRL 595-how good is it?
I was in the market for a Meitner combo. I even had one in my system for over 1 month.Hope this helps you, Ken. 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Lokie: the power switch is disconnected. This is part of the mod. According to Paul, this is important. Your unit is not broken. Listen and enjoy! (I know that I have been)711: there is better and I've heard it. I've heard the $30K Tube Research L... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
How good is it? There are 8 friends of mine right now that own the TRL/Sony 595 that are keeping quiet until they sell their other various modified players, to insure that they get the maximum price. While I have no real experience with Klipsch lo... 
What CD cleaner to use?
There is a great post about CD's and long term damage that can occur by using the wrong types of products on them. (Remember the Armor All disaster? I do, it ruined around 500 of my shiny discs).Here's the link: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/f... 
Record Cleaning Again
Sounds like he talked to Brian Weitzel of RRL because it is the same system that he shared with me (separate tubes, brushes, and keeping everything washed off with SVW, vacuumed and stored in a dust free container, etc.) years ago. Weitzel even su... 
Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive?
Competitive? Yes, very. Frank Garbe took over distribution of Jadis in the mid 90's and didn't advertise/market in the same fashion that Victor had. It's a little sad because the 200's are one of the best sounding amplifiers out there, in my humbl... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
What do I think of the TRL modded 595 Sony? It took about 3 weeks or better to break in, but your initial thoughts are correct. This player defies all logic. It's inexpensive, is a lightweight at 12 pounds, yet sounds more analog and more accurate...
