TRL Marantz Sa-14

Sbayne-

Yes, I have the ERS sheets in small pieces combined with copper shielding. I just applied a few pieces around the transport area. Keep in mind I am using the Sony 2000es which has no shielding. The transport is entirely plastic so I intended to add some tuning material.

I have not completed the application but the preliminary outlook the background has a quietly formed 'stillness'.

The anti-static sheet I am using unfortunately I have to find how and where I can get them. These could be a special grade but I will try to contact someone I know that might know about them and get back to you guys.

La45,
I have been thinking of using StillPoint ERS with my Ah! also. Could you elaborate more on what you mean by "applied a few pieces around the transport area"? Does this mean small pieces of ERS is adhered to right above the transport on the cover, and the transport sides and bottom? Do you use the plain or the adhesive sheet? I also look forward to hearing the spec of the special anti-static sheet that you are using.

Sbayne,
Welcome! I am sure that you will enjoy your TRL8260 well! Please keep us updated about its progress.

I've applied the ERS that has adhesive under the cover of my CDP and a piece over the transformer in the CDP and my amp. Noise floor seemed to drop and each note is a little more fleshed-out. A combination of ERS and anti-static paper may be the ticket. Paul indicated this will be his second SA-8260 he has done so if the person who has the other TRL 8260 is out there please chime in! I will keep you guys updated.

Hchi-

I applied the ERS with copper sheets in strategic but safe areas around the transport. There is good space inside the Sony so its easy to apply. I am going at each application in small steps stoping and listening each step of the way.

I am using certain discs that I know have very little information and hope that the tuning will open up the sound even more without trading off musicality.

There is no science to this just a lot of fun experiments.

I just was informed that TRL will be sending me a TRL SA-11. Being that I owned one in stock form, it will be quite easy for me to hear any differences.
