Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?

Jack,

Wonder where all the units came from ;)

UPS and I are getting pretty friendly.

BTW - each of the people in the VMPS room who purchased the unit had almost the exact same thoughts on the player. The consistency of their listening experiences were uncanny. Normally, you get a variety of opinions on the sonic signature of a unit, but not this one.

Hi Alex - sorry I haven't had time to respond to your private email to me disparaging the work of TRL, but it was nice of you to read my review on the TRL Audio Mirror. I feel somewhat flattered and if anything it shows you're literate.

Having spend time in both the VMPS and APL rooms, I would have to say that Alex had the best sound. Of course, there are many differences other than the players.

Alex attacking people and other companies offline with unsolicited harassing emails to Audiogon members?????

C'mon Clio- he only communicates "With all due respect".

how did this thread get off track ?

this thread asked for a best bang for buck mod or player. i think the TRL mods are on the cheaper side, right? so i suggested it as a possibility. but if i had the dough, i'd go for APL's mod. Somewhere in the middle is where I ended up, very happy I might add. The VSE level 5 mod is really oustanding. Definitely betters many players I've had, including the BAT VK D5SE and the Wadia 860x.
