Ei Gold Elite Premium tubes& Music Reference Amp
OzGive the Ei 6DJ8 Elite goldpins a try. At 8.95 each you can't loose!They might give up the tiniest bit of bass extension but....at least you're not paying $100 each.

Sorry men - didn't mean to cause undue stress. :-)Lkdog - Hang in there. I think you will find the wait to be well worth it. So smooth and non fatiguing, (in my system) Just a pleasure! You'll see.Jes45 - I must say - i don't think you would be di...

Well.....336 hours have passed. All I can say is, The TRL SA14 never speaks harshly, every sound that comes from it is enjoyable. It is detailed, transparent, dynamic, stage is wonderful, it is never tiring to listen to. Truly a pleasure. I just s...

Gandme - I'm not any sort of engineer, and I'm curious what Paul said about your gain situation. I had the opposite happen. When i first listened to the Sa14 the gain was so high I had to actually turn down the preamp! Paul said it would settle do...

Lkdog -I was in the same boat as you. I would like to have gotten ans SA-11 to try with the TRL mods, but budget and common sence prevailed. I saved at least $1200 by going with the Sa-14. I honestly feel like I'll have this machine for a long tim...

Lkdog - :-)You won't be sorry! It is the most dynamic machine I've heard. The way sound seems to leap out, with such a sense of ease, is really fun! When will you be getting it back? Mine has been spining a disc for 10 days now. I love to go in fo...

La45How many hours are on your machine at this point? At over 200 hrs.,mine too, is really a beautiful thing to behold.

Reb1208I didn't hear the stock unit. But, the guys at TRL thought they were "thin and digital sounding". Mine is a version 1. All I know, is I like what I hear, and it would take ALOT to get me to put this one up for sale. I saw this version 2 on ...

Hi GangJust passed the 110 hr mark. This machine (SA-14) is really taking on a smooth character that is beautiful to hear. The presence and detail are still here but now all the areas of the sonic field are coming together. Bass is becoming viscer...

Hi Jes45 and La45 (are you guys related?) :-)I have to admit - I snuck a "quick listen" in last night, after only 72 hrs. When I got done listening at 4:00AM!!! - I was thrilled and amazed. Amazed, at the things I was hearing on my discs (redbook)... 
leave solid state power amps on?
HelloThought I'd chime in. I'm STRICTLY speaking of MY experience with Krell amps:Having spoken to Steven - A head service guy at Krell - He said to absolutely NOT leave the Krells on 24/7. He said to shut them off when not in use. It heat created... 
tube upgrade for first sound
Sound problem solved! The stock 6H23n's went bad. Its amazing how quickly a tube can go. I now have some Amperex 7308 PQ's in there. nice.......:-)

La45I haven't looked inside of my unit yet. I'm just trying to get hours on it first, so it just sits spinning a disc 24/7 for now.I'm really refering to the way Paul treats his customers. From his communication, his punctual turn around of the un...
