NY Manhattan "New LP's Japon IMPORT Store"?
Jaybo - I don't like the fact that the SF store moved the Jazz section way to the back corner. Kind of makes it inconvenient. Once, I went to all 3 stores in a weekend (doable since I live in SoCal), the Berkeley store had the best Jazz, the SF be... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
La45 - I'll report on the Sony when I get it, hopefully this week. However, I have never heard the TRL Marantz so I can't make a direct comparison.I actually spotted a pair of 1m Oritek X-1 ICs here today and bought them. I'll compare them to the ... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
I am going to be trying the Oritek X-2 shortly on my TRL Sony DVP-NS900V. If I see a used X-1 I'll be all over it. Too much has been said about these cable to ignore them.

Jaybo - don't forget the Amoeba in SF and the original one in Berkeley as well. 
Gain specs for Jolida JD-9A phono preamp
I have the K&K Audio Lundahl step-up and am using it with the Hagerman Trumpet. I have the 14db configuration (1:5 ratio), but Kevin supplies the schematic and if you can solder it will be easy to change to a 20db or 26db configuration. With t... 
cable burn in process
Flemke - the Hagerman FryKleaner is available as a half-kit. I've heard good things about this unit. 
Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2?
I met Wally at RMAF and ordered my Wally Tractor and Skater from him there at his table. I also got one of his scales. I had been warned that he was slow and to stay on top of him by calling him, which is the best way to contact him. He always ans... 
I hope break in is true
It's going to get better. 
is there a current production 20 bit cd player ?
Maybe I'm off base here, but why go to 20 bit instead of sticking to Redbook. In fact, if you like Audio Note, why not one of their non-os DACs. You can use your CD2 as a transport, or get another transport. Just thought I'd throw it out there. 
Has anyone used Nordost interconnects
I enjoyed the Red Dawn cables when they were in my system. They worked nicely with the tube gear I had at the time. When I swapped in a solid state amp they became a tad too bright for me, but not all that bad. I swapped them out for cables costin... 
Help with $6k - $7k amplifier setup
The TRL D-225 amp for $4000 new is a great amp for the money. You can mate it with a nice passive preamp (I use the K&K Audio TVC) or a low gain active preamp. Either way you should be well within your budget. 
Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V
In addition to the CRL Silver, I'm also going to try my VH Audio Flavor 4 which has been great on my TRL Audio Mirror DAC. 
Seeking hot running amps
Cary V12i definitely heated my room up. 
Best power amp for under 1K
I've been looking at Odyssey amps of late. 
Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V
I have the battery powered TRL 900 coming to me. It is my intent to use a CRL Silver power cord on the player for the transport and digital stage. The battery power supply from what I have heard only applies to the analog (output) stage. I will us...
