| Hard Drive based system Here I am, jumping in like a "Johnny come lately", but I'm compelled to share my TRL 900 story. I've had my TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V for the past 3 weeks and it is amazing. Mine is fully broken in and I have found the same results as Ecruz. This player... | |
| Transistor Research Labs ST-225 Integrated amp Tony: Betcha didn't know that VTL's Signature series transformers were Paul's design that he did not want, so he released the design to Greg Scott, who later offered them to VTL.And the Shallco 45 step attenuators used in my ST-225 were designed b... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 TRL Family:Please try the new Xtreme AV Quicksilver "GOLD" formulation. It is pretty amazing stuff. Wider & deeper stage, lower noise floor, increased micro dynamics, sharper more well defined imaging, higher resolution.You will hear so much t... | |
| Transistor Research Labs ST-225 Integrated amp Kalen: To each his own. Since most of my listening is done in a very dim lit room, the whole numbers issue is void. Besides, I'd be embarrassed if I couldn't set the volumes by ear anyway ... it would be like owning a Porsche 911 and requiring a s... | |
| Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.? Clio09: You wrote ..."I received an email from a person affiliated with another mod vendor (who will remain nameless, but he knows who he is - *wink* *wink*) that disparaged the work of the mod shop I chose."Same here. I have recieved an e-mail li... | |
| Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.? Lkdog: Well said. Considering we are in a "dying breed" type of hobby, "Can't we all just get along?". Wiser words were never spoken from a man on Angel Dust. Season's Greetings to all!Jack | |
| Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.? Alex: Thank you for your offers ... it almost makes me feel as I do when I deal with your competitor. Included with their mod, they sent me free SACD's (their own recordings, on Paul's own label) and free SACD/DVD/CD cleaner, Shine Ola, which they... | |
| Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.? Alex: Thank you for your most generous offer for the book, but no thanks, I have no personal interest in becoming a digital player modifier. And, I'm happy with the service and house sound that TRL offers me.If you want to send me a large print of... | |
| Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.? 711smilin (Steve Milin):There is a long list of APL units for sale here on Audiogon, the World's High End Audio Marketplace. There is a list of TRL units for sale here, too. Folks move on, they change gear ... it is common in this hobby. I've move... | |
| Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.? Howdy Steve!I've been looking for those $400 to $500 NEW Sony DVP-NS900V's all over eBay and haven't found a single one. Seems that everyone is doing well locating them right here, at Audiogon, in the Wanted ad section. :)As for the number of TRL ... | |
| Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.? Funny statement from a man with SA-1'a and SA-2's with a stock SA-1 Marantz. I've auditioned the SA-1, owned the modified 14, and heard the SA-11 in a syatem identical to mine. Of the three, I'd take the modified 14 any day over the other two.Then... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 I've owned Tube Research products for over 13 years and it has always taken a long period of time for them to break in and achieve the "TRL House Sound". I don't like what ERS does, and I won't use it anywhere in my system. It kills the micro dyna... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Clio09: Glad you kept the extra HRS plates now? Have you tried the maple butcher block under the amp yet? (I spoke to Brian).Lkdog: I remember our kitchen remodel. Establish your budget and add another 30 to 40 percent as you go along. It's worth ... | |
| Yes indeed : Parker, Carter, Hodges together Thanks for the heads up. I remember a battle of the bands recording I heard once from 1949 that had "Fats" Navarro and Bird playing together. It was unreal. The first jam that you mention reminds me of my experience hearing the Fats/Bird recording... | |
| Liquid CD treatments? I have to agree with Lkdog, Shine Ola has worked wonders for me, and it is alcohol and oil free, so it will not etch discs as Armor All did to me (It etched over 500 discs of mine, making most of them unplayable).A group of us had a friend do some... |
