TRL Marantz Sa-14


After speaking to Paul at TRL I am very curious to hear from those who own this unit what improvements do you hear with the player before and after the mod.

The SA-14 sounds weak in the bass and has no dynamics in comparison to some players like the Sony Scd-1 in stock form. Has anyone compared the TRL Sa-14 to the Sony Scd-1?

You have X-2's? Thats great news. Very interested in your opinion now that you have the X-1s. And I appreciate if you would let us know your impression of the Sony TRL.

Thanks for the response. Everything at this point is system dependent not to mention personal taste. I did not like the Sony's appearance compared to the Marantz.

La45 - I've ordered the X-2 cables and they take a couple weeks to ship. The X-1 cables should be here soon and I'll be able to listen to them for a bit prior to swapping in the X-2s. Hopefully I'll have my Sony next week and can start the break in process.

Without a doubt the Marantz build quality and appearance is more attractive. Helluva player with the TRL mod.
