advice for buying Summit Audio TLA-50

[taichber]

I'm located in Europe. Summit Audio gear is here extremely expensive.
I would like to buy two TLA-50's in the US. Does anybody know a good shop?
What do you think about this offer:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Im not sure about the "warming up" thing,
but as far as great sounding compressors its incredible.

Yes, I own both the 100 and now the 50.
The 50 is MUCH quieter, different transformer i think.

The TLA100 has been one of my favorite tracking and drum sub group compressor for some time.
The 50 is quite nice and for like a quarter of the price, its a helluva deal.

you cant go wrong with any of the Summit stuff

Hi Guy!
Thanks for the info. What do you mean by more quiet? Do you mean less noise?
I'd like to use it as well for compressing to drum submix. I can't afford the TLA-100. Do you hear a big sound difference between the TLA-50 / 100 - other than the mentioned noise?
