Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM
To each their own, Rackdoctor. I used to use Torumat until Albert Porter recommended RRL, which I found better in every way. (Must be system dependant ...)Are you a customer of Brooks? Jack

Anybody into Ben Harper?
I've been into Ben Harper for a little over a year, when my Brother in Law introduced me to his music. Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama has had a simialr effect on me, Cruz123, except that it has turned me onto the Blind Boys ... I am now ... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Oldpet: I understand your concerns, I use the CRL Gold cable on my SA-14, which is significantly larger than the Silver. I've found that the cable takes about 2 to 3 minutes of bending to get it configured to where it will stay put. The good news ... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
TRL Family: I just installed my SA-14 after the TRL mod and gave it a quick hour listen. The guys left my player on a redbook CD on repeat with a load on the outputs for around 4 days before I picked it up. So, it is still very fresh, if you know ...

VPI 16.5 Record Cleaner Mod??
Have you tried asking Harry, the manufacturer? He'd probably know. 
TRL 595-how good is it?
I suggest that you read my post at Audio Asylum's Hi-Rez forum http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/messages/210789.html To quote Lkdog ...I really do not understand why APL has an obsession with TRL, and continues on this transparent campaign ... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
It's humourous that a competitor has to stage a "Third party review" that "doesn't own TRL or APL" with a friend who visits his facility http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/messages/210269.html and has one of his modified preamps. (See Joel_Wa...

Sigh ... I was hoping for a thread about a court decision against AT&T where they'd have to refund their overcharges for the past years ...Jack 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Howard: I pray for the best on your vacation. (No lost or damaged luggage, etc). And for a speedy claim with Fed Upped. I think that Yahoo allows free photo uploads with their free yahoo e-mail accounts. Might be worth looking into?Deb: The Marant... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Hchi: That's too bad. My units have always been delivered with 3 to 4 inches of bubble wrap around them. Fed Upped must have really abused your player to cause that type of damage. Paul has told me stories of damaged amp crates from shipping abuse... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Figures, the SA-11's become available after I buy a used SA-14 ... must be my luck.Reb1208: Please share your first impressions when you get the unit. I'm very interested in knowing how they compare.I might have to make the 150 mile journey to hea... 
most analog sounding CDP
The player that sounds the most like playing back my 2 track master reels is the TRL modified Marantz SA-14. Their mod is only $550 plus shipping. You used to be able to find a used/good condition SA-14 for around $1200. Now they're up around $150... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Hchi: Please let us know what you think. Reb1208: I wouldn't call it warm, then again, I've been listening to my 595 which is what I'd consider neutral. The bass is a little shy and less tight, compared to the modified units. And the stock unit is...
