I've used a Trends TA 10.1 amp in my system and with vinyl...it was super cool when my TVC preamp was used in-line. With the Trends flying solo it wasn't too magical. this was with A/D/S monitors that are 91db efficient.At the time, the only amp we could A-B compare the Trends to is my trusted '92 Muse Model 100. In direct comparison the Muse throws a Much deeper soundstage and a wider one as well. It is more enjoyable.
However, the Trends has an eerie silence and smoooooothness to it that is really engaging. Because of this, i'd recomend trying out the modded Trends from Magnus, its $270. this might just be a keeper...
If the Trends could expand the soundstage and grow some balls, i mean bass, it would be a real threat. In stock form its a great back-up amp if you have efficient speakers.
If you use a separate preamp with the Trends, you can hook up more sources to it and get more volume. If you use the Promitheus TVC with the Trends (the modded one would be sweet), be prepared to sit and listen for hours on end. according to the designer there is some synergy with that combo.
Source>TVC>Trends>Speakers the volume on the TVC was open 100%, never had to turn up the Trneds knob more than 30%-40%. With the Trends alone, the knob was at 80% or higher and not that enjoyable.
this is my direct, 1st hand experience.
