TRL 595-how good is it?

I am a digital junky, so I have been thru well over a dozen players in the past 12 months. My favorite is the APL 3910. I just bought the TRL Sony 595 from the Tsunami auction, and will receive next week. Any one here have experience with this machine? I TT Paul from TRL and he said he is still shaking his head from disbelief on how good this puppy sounds. I am impatient, so would love some feedback. I also love the fact it is a 5 disc changer. Could it be a world beater? I have TT a person who sold his Cary 303/200 after burning this puppy in.

Ehquiring minds want to know

Thanks

Trust me, Jay, the C2000ES TRL is much better than their 595 mod. Better dynamics, resolution, detail and naturalness.

They also have started modifying the Toshiba 3960, which shows promise. They say that the video is very good as is the audio. I'll likely sit and wait for the next batch of Marantz SA-11's to hit the docks and have them mod it for me ...

Jes45, I am taking your suggestion on the GT-200's, and if you love vinyl sounding digital, please try the APL. It is truely the BEST I have ever heard. I have not heard the 30k TRL, but if the 595 was almost as good, ya gotta get the 3910. If you do ot love, I will buy it from you. I am that serious.

TRL is now also offering mods to several Marantz models. Worth looking into as yet another option in the modified digital category.

I've bought an SA14 which will be shipped directly to Paul/TRL for mods. I figure that by late May it should be fully burned in!

I just found a posting in another thread that seems fitting for this one ... it's at http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&958198199&read&keyw&zztube+research+labs

The posters name is speakerart. Is this the same Speaker Art that I've seen at CES shows?

Interesting read about comparisons between the TRL/Sony 2000 and the APL3910.
