Tube Research Labs multi channel preamp

What is the rest of your system?

Tube research has an excellent rating. If you can swing the bucks, go for it.

I'm on the list for the TRL multi-channel pre-amp, a couple after the review unit going to David Robinson. I've had Tube Research Labs pre-amps since they first came out, nothing else comes close in dynamic range, bass, highs. I use to not take "surround sound" or multi-channel seriously, but have heard a few good things, some good DVD movies are okay, 'some' SACD engineers get it, all multi-channel media is not gimmicky and stupid. And I agree with gspdbeemer, that I don't want to lose my good 2 channel sound, I like listening to my old jazz analog tapes and jazz LP's.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but there is finally something to this "quad" thing. If you haven't heard a convincing demonstration of this, then it is either the gear, or the source material's engineer.

Two channel is probably where it's at for me, I'm use to it. But, for a very few, now, exceptions, I want to check out MCH.

Hi,JTinn. Was away on business (actually, ski Canada!), wasn't trying to ignore you.
I use Tube Research 300's with Mini Utopias on custom stands. My preamp. is a Jadis line-stage, I really like the sound of it, but it tends to eat expensive tubes. I have a highly-modded SCD-1. I'm not really ready to go multi-channel, but will work up to it slowly. Tube Research emailed me, I'll be trying their preamp. next month. I'll let you know how that goes, I've been through lots of gear, the constant in my system has been my amps.
