TRL 595-how good is it?

I have about 250 hours now, and the unit is sounding very musical, and easy to listen too. It does not seem to give the last bit of detail, or bass extension, or body. The soundstage is large, and deep. The instumentation is good, but lacking air. The vocals are real nice, but, lacking in a bit of dimensionality. All in all, a very good sounding player, that is easy on the ears, also, not analytical like a lot of higher cost players I have owned, and heard.

I have a couple issues maybe you can help with, the player defaults to multi channel on SACD, and I have to manually switch to 2-channel. Do you guys know how to set 2channel all the time? Also, when in continious repeat mode, my player gets stuck on the 3rd disc, and just clicks.

Anyway, overall, this is a KILLER player for the $$$, especially being a 5 disk player. More will be reveiled over time.

Oh,thank heaven for 711. Yeah and I'm smilin at that. As we all know there are quite a few variables in auditioning equipment. So, 711 what player sounds better than your TRL modded Sony I can't stand the carousel baloney? Yeah I had Paul mod a single transport Sony unit and am much happier for it. Can't stand going round and round with the sound. Also 711, what else is in your system? Thanks and best regards

711smilin-

The extension on both ends will continue to improve for awhile-be patient. The air is ridiculous when it fully blooms.
I also had to adjust my subwoofer setting at around 300 hours. The bass was literally shaking my house.

Not sure about the SACD settings as I only have one SACD and it is a two channel only.

As for getting stuck on the 3rd disk in repeat mode-maybe it is that disk. I would email Paul if you have any trouble on a regular basis with that.

Smilin,

It's a Sony and probably works like most Sony SACD players. Press the Menu button and turn the AMS until the right menu comes up. Select 2-channel (or stereo) and press the AMS button. From then on it should default to starting up in 2 channel. You may have to experiment - there are model differences, but the principle is the same.

Regards,

Metralla,

Thanks for the input buddy, this is a fun machine. I am goins to my AMS toggle as soon as I get done thanking you.
