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

Ho hum....
Another "shootout" from an owner of an APL unit which shockingly states that APL is the superior unit to Brand X (fill in the blank). LOL!

Granted the article was apparently authored by the APL owner. It would be interesting if the TRL owner also decided to post his/her own independent findings.

Yeah, I'm with Lkdog on this one. A shootout report written by one of only two participants is of little value beyond the opinion expressed. Has anyone ever read a shootout report written by the owner of the "losing" player in which he/she preferred the machine other than the one he owns?

Tvad-

My thoughts exactly.
RAM has a "shootout" post on their website forum right now where all RAM units (including their entry level units) best every single APL unit. Of course in that "shootout" the writer was a RAM employee and it was his web forum :)

I have no issue with someone saying they like Unit A better than Unit B (everyone has a right to their opinion based upon listening preferences); just don't portray that it is an objective comparision.

I concur TVAD that the opinions of both owners would be preferable. I hope the TRL owner will eventually come forth and either corroborate the extant findings, or voice an alternate opinion of the outcome.
