| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Yup, with the TRL SA14 my system is now pumping out a lot of deep, tight and tuneful bass. My system isn't built for bass-heads -- I have an ACI Force sub (little bro of the Titan) and, while my main speakers are running full range and are spec'ed... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 I haven't used the QuickSilver yet... something to do this weekend. I hope to put it on all the connectors in my system. I have not read up on QuickSilver yet. Did anyone report any drawbacks? | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Paul owns Fidelis Records and Diversity Records. I have 4-5 of his albums, including hybrid SACDs. According to the notes on at least 1 of the albums, he is the recording engineer, so if anyone knows what the original artist should sound like, its... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Tvad,Your comment implies that high end companies are in the business of finding fools and getting them to part with their money. While some companies provide better value than others, you can't base selling price purely on the cost of the parts u... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? There are 4 factors at play that make top-end audio gear very expensive. 1. Some fixed costs are higher in absolute terms, e.g. more extensive R&D to get the voicing right and achieve the desired balance of musical virtues... the last 10% of t... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Lkdog,It seems like you and I are hearing much of the same from our unbroken-in TRL SA14s. Yes, the sound is sweet, pure and engaging, with a great sense of coherence that creates the illusion of listening to real people. For example in The Corr's... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 I was able to hook up the TRL SA14 this evening. I have not taken any special care, I just plunked it on top of my pre-amp, using rubber-cork-rubber isolation feet. The hardest part was wrestling the CRL Silver power cord into place as it is thick... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 I just received my TRL SA14 yesterday. It was very well packed -- it must have taken a good 10 minutes to unpack... the sequence was something like:- open outer box- remove styrofoam and bubble wrap placed along the sides to insulate inner box fro... | |
| Marantz DV 9500 vs Cary DVD 6 I have a DV9500 and had a Cary 303 cd player for about 2 years. Assuming the DVD6 is like the 303 then build quality (the physical weight and solidity of the player will be worlds apart). The buttons of the 303 have a more solid feel as well. In t... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Lkdog,Sounds good. Looking forward to your comments on the ST-225. A new amp would be a bit down the road for me as I need to first burn in the TRL SA14. I'd be curious about how warm and musical and engaging the ST-225 would be. Seems like you ar... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 My TRL SA-14 was shipped to me last week so I should get it this week. I also got a CRL Silver series power cord on Paul's recommendation. Paul/Oldpet, does your RAM-modded Toshiba have the Superclock? Glad to hear that the TRL is doing so well in... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? You're right about different rooms! My system sounded quite different when I moved to a new home even though none of the components changed! More tweaking to come I guess... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? True, almost everyone posts a glowing review. Ideally you listen before and after the mod. Before the mod, pick out what you dislike about the sound, write it down if you have to (esp since the mod + break-in takes so long and you can forget!). Ot... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? I think the only way that a cheaper player with a cheaper mod can beat more expensive players and more expensive mods is if the design philosophy is different. If you look at military fighter jets, the last generation of planes produced by the Sov... | |
| Which Universal Player has Beefiest Power Supply? From what I understand the Denon 2900 has a switching power supply. Some modifiers add a linear power supply to it. |
