TRL Marantz Sa-14

Thanks Sbayne, I was wondering how the 8260 was sounding. Please give us more feedback in another month. I will be intrested to hear of any improvements after you feel the unit is broke in and everything is coming together. My stock 8260 waits for your final judgement, or start looking to the upgrade path. I hope the TRL mod path is the way to go. Sounds like the mod has already improved everything a great deal.

Brouch - based on my listening the TRL mod is worthy of recommendation as it stands now. I'm just trying to squeeze that last drop of performance out of it. I should mention I've got it sitting on Mapleshade footers with heavyhats. The power cord is a ZCable Red Lighting. So if you consider the total cost I have in this player the $500 TRL mod is well worth it on a cost/benefit basis even if the player doesn't improve with even more break-in (IMHO of course).

I got TRL to upgrade my Audiomeca Enkianthus X dac, and I've been burning it in. I noticed some of the same things you mentioned at first, and it definitely takes a long burn in. However, right now the improvement the mod made is bordering on incredible. I'll post a full review in a week after I have ~400 hours or so on it. It was money WELL spent...

Does TRL mod any current Sony or Denon units?

Pardales-

Yes. They have done many current models I believe.
