| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier I will have to get some of Brian's Shine Ola' as you say. Your player is awesome as Brian told me he likes it better than my Sony with battery power supply. These Samson amps break new audio ground in my book. They most likely won't ever be review... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Yes, the bass is simply unmatched by a wide, wide margin compared to all I have owned. Paul said this to me and he is so right. I can now follow bass lines that were either blurred or even silent in my passed systems.Paul has many of his own recor... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Tvad, my mistake. I am remembering some past comments or impressions you had on the Nuforce amps.Gammajo, my experience with Paul & Brian at TRL has been wonderful. That's all I can say - wonderful. I would start a dialog with Paul and get you... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Well I have the amps in my home per the review. Yes, one can take the cover off and look inside if they want.These are Class A/B and not Class D. Not sure why Fiddler suggests some of us (owners) are not telling the truth?Tvad, you had mentioned y... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's I owned the Nuforce Ref 9 (not SE) amps and they were cold sounding. Forgot to mention those in my listing of other amps. Had them for a month, but I needed more body and texture then these were capable of. The Samson amps are not Class D, but A/B... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Tvad,They are cool at all times. I keep them on 24/7 and even when run hard they stay cool to the touch.They are now named Samson amps as Bob mentioned above.I just finished a full review that should post soon. | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's I have posted my system if any would like to see pictures of the Samson amps. They have opened up even more and sound remarkable. | |
| best pre -amp under 4000$ Very interesting how we all go at this hobby. I have found that the preamp is really the heart of a great system. It and the front end source have always been most important to me.I tend to mate tube preamps with SS amps for the "sound" I like the... | |
| best pre -amp under 4000$ Based on my experiences the TRL tubed preamp named the Dude will make any system sound its best. It sounds like live music.$3500 and it easily bested every single preamp I have owned or heard in my home system by a wide margin. The other preamps s... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Paul had put about 100 hours on them before I got them. I will let all on this thread know how they improve with time.Bill | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Here are my comments after the first two days of listening. I listened to amps for 6.5 hours yesterday and plan to listen more tonight. I leave them on so they should be settled in even more tonight.The amps are named Samson and they bear that nam... | |
| preamp with two adjustable outputs?? A great preamp that can be had for little money is the Aloia 11.01 with Inductive power supply. They do show up and can be had for $900 - $1100.Has what you are looking for.Bill | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's My new M225's are coming in Monday. I will post my initial comments and a full review soon. I moved up to the TRL Dude tubed preamp and M225 mono's from by S225 integrated amp.Tvad is correct as most every TRL owner knows this stuff is very specia... | |
| The best amp for $2k tube, solid state or hybrid I have owned the Bultler and the Belles. The Belles Reference 350 is a much better amp. For solid state and $2000 the Belles Ref 350 is hard to beat. The real question now is tubes or SS. The V4's are very good and might cost closer to $2800. The ... | |
| Should an audio system be left on at all times? My SS amp takes a day to settle in and warm up. I always keep it on and it sounds much better that way. 30 minutes does nothing at all it seems based on my past experience with SS amps.My builder also said to leave it on for best sound and extende... |
