Or, you could buy the Marantz SA-11, break it in and enjoy it, then send it to Tube Research Labs for their mod, at a modest $550. I, too, have heard great things about the SA-11.

TRL Marantz Sa-14
Hello Oldpet,I fully understand what you are saying about Paul and his crew's committment to the customer. My player was returned with some of the best packaging that I've ever encountered. They must have used $15 to $25 worth of bubble wrap on my... 
Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp?
