Texas Heat with Apogees and TRL ampsHi Gallant D, what type of amp would be best for the Stage? Love to hear your opinion. I agree that these are a wonderful speaker. posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

Texas Heat with Apogees and TRL ampsThey are only too expensive as they have no real competition until now with Jupiter. If the Jupiter's are as good as the Beta testers say, and they are lower priced as expected, then we will all pa... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Texas Heat with Apogees and TRL ampsChadeffect nailed it and what a great response. Nice job. They sound great, but are way overpriced in terms of what's inside. Cut one in half and look! I have seen pictures of this and there is not... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Texas Heat with Apogees and TRL ampsG Diva, the noise is not background noise or hiss or anything like that. Once you have them in your system will indeed be rid of artifacts/noise you had no idea was there. Look forward to your comm... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Texas Heat with Apogees and TRL amps50 hours of break in on the CAST caps gives you a sense of where things are going and is better sounding than 4 hours for sure. I have not experienced the need for 400-700 hours on the smaller valu... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Texas Heat with Apogees and TRL ampsOne other thing. Jupiter is three weeks away from selling a capacitor that according to all the beta testers sounds better than the Duelund CAST and a lower price. We will soon see if that is true.... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Texas Heat with Apogees and TRL ampsYes, be careful around those big blue caps as without bleeder resistors they can hold 400 volts for many, many days. The same is true in your Dude with the large can cap on that tube regulator. Be ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles that is a better pic. Without looking under the board I don't know if direct connection is best, or if that leaves out a portion of the circuit. My gut is your tech did very good. posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, I looked at your pic of the dac with Duelund caps for the first time today. Question? I would have wired the caps directly to the RCA outs and wonder why it was decided to go back into the... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Texas Heat with Apogees and TRL ampsVery nice system and I want one set of your amps! I am a long time TRL owner and still love my Dude! Do you find any particular 6sn7 tube sounds best in your system? posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles I have a quick question. Seems you have two Sistrum stands under each speaker. Which models are they? Thanks much. posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, it turns out my speaker does have a 6.8 uf tweeter cap. The resistor is just part of a Zobel Network. The 3uf cap is for the midrange drivers. The builder was a nice help! posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, your SET ways caused me to try a SET amp, class A with no negative feedback. I am listening to a 45 tube amp and I am amazed 2.5 watts works so good with my speakers. The 45 has a very int... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
