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

Hey TVAD, no offense taken. Was joking as well. But I still wanted to edit/soften my append post facto, and the darn thread wouldn't let me.
LKDOG: As for shootouts, the only thing worse than a shootout. . . is a missed shootout. It looks like I may arrive in San Francisco on June 19th, 24 hrs after the upcoming RAM/APL Grand Jostle.
Darn it again!
I was hoping I could alleviate my DAC attack, at least temporarely
ALEX: very generous offer. If I qualified I would take you up on the offer. But I've got only an EAD T1000 and EAD D7000 Mk3 combo, vintage 1994. I mean, my CDP is sooo goood can trounce just. . . oh well never mind!
Besides, seriously, you already know the device I am waiting and drooling for. . .

Guido-

Yes, the RAM/APL thing is entertaining.

Alex-

Interesting offer to folks, but we all know that owners of any gear are rarely objective. I have already talked to and heard from several folks who prefer certain TRL units to various iterations of APL units. And vice versa.
That being said, these are all good units and in an elite class. There are just various opinions at this level of quality and it is phenomenological.
I would be interested in your offer as a TRL unit owner, but would be more interested in hearing your flagship loaded 3910 out of curiosity. The offer for the Pioneer would be fun to hear also, though.
I have a TRL Marantz SA14 that I am breaking in.
You can email through Agon if you wish.

Guido, I will be honored to send the little Pioneer 563a to you so you can let us all know how your EAD gear trounced it....:-)

Let me know if you really are interested.

Your "dream machine" will be available soon.

Regards,

Lkdog,

I would agree it is all subjective and system dependant. It also depends on what revision the APL unit was when compared to TRL.

Anyway, you will be second on the list. I have TRL595 and Exemplar3910 owner who has secured #1 already...:-)

I will contact all on the list when the 563a is ready for shipping.

The little Pioneer gives a good idea of how the Denon sounds. You will just have to imagine a similar sound on steroids which has more natural and refined character due to the tube stage inside. If you end up liking the little 563a and continue to be interested hearing the Denon, I will try to arrange audition. I’ve promised a “rolling” APL3910 to many people, so I will include you on that list as well.

Regards,
Alex
