TRL 595-how good is it?

Guys, thanks for the feedback, I am looking forward to breaking in all my new stuff. Jes45, my Reimer Tetons were delivered yesterday, so I have a few hundred hours to break them in as well. Hopefully Paul will ship my player by tuesday, so I have it by Friday. I will let it burn in for about 10 days, and give it a listen then. I really, really like the fact it is a 5 disk player. I may in fact need 2, if it is that good. I will respect all in that I will not post until the right time.

Lokie, I hope you get your unit working proper, I am sur Paul will make all right. He really seems like a standup guy, and seems genuinely amazed himself on the sonics of this 12 lb wonder. I am sure there are better, but at what cost.

Patience, ok, I guess I will have to be patient.

I want to follow up on my previous comments that I'm sure the base management issue that I'm having has nothing to with the TRL mod. And everything to do with my receiver and user error.
I am interested on the experiences of other users which might help me out.

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 Labs proto-type in their listening room and yes, it is better than the TRL/Sony 595. But it is $29,200 more, so it had better be, right?

Sounds like you have a lot of new gear showing up at the same time. I've heard that the Reimers need a little time to fully break in, (like any other good speaker), so hopefully everything settles in around the same time ...

Does anyone knows what kind of mods are done to this units? I just send him an e-mail asking if he has worked with the 2000ES ( basically the same model with a few extras) but would like to know a bit more about the 595.
Thanks and enjoy your units.

Jes45, Thanks for the vote of confidence, I am burning the speaker in as I write, they are starting to open up a bit, but, far from what I have heard others sound like. I have been having issues with one of my amps, and just bought a BPT 3.5 sig to try. Along with waiting for my TRL, and Modwright, a few PC's, and interconnects, my system sounds just fine. heh heh. Thank god my PP's and APL are working fine. All is not lost, my glass is just half full right now.
