Polypropylene as a Turntable Base Material
You can minimize the warp with additional curing. Check with manufacturer or extruder. This material will kick butt in the midrange-bass area with a huge soundstage.Acrylic is a joke compared to it. Turntable manufacturers can't be bothered with t...

Clio09-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.Lkdog-Thanks for the response. Everything at this point is system depend... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Lkdog,Thats great to hear. I was wondering if I really needed to consider making another change and frankly I wanted to settle with something good. And the TRL Marantz SA-14 is really good! The one thing Paul mentioned was that the Sony NS900 had ... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Lkdog-It made everything very articulate and coherent. I compared it to the Acoustic Zen Matrix II. While the Zen adds more body, bass and warmth, the Ori cable is wonderful in speed, balance, and low noise. Of the two, the Oritek is more neutral.... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Hi Guys,For those of you that still have the Marantz SA-14 TRL, the new cable in my system has improved things tremendously. But first an update. I have gone to tubes all around. The set up is Full Image Pre replacing the Meitner Switchman and my ...

Are you kidding? This is old stuff and most here are young dudes.. Nice preamp when I heard it back in the day at Andrew Singers place.

Rich-Its a very old transformer type conditioner . I would suggest looking at the PS Audio line of conditioners. They have several types, regenerator, transformer etc. IMO any of these will do the job. In my case I had mine sitting in the closet f...

Lkdog-I remembered one day a moder that I used to communicate with saying that the digital front end will not sound right without a filter. This was several years ago. I am a believer now.I don't turn on my Player without turning on the Conditione...

Just wanted to add my recent observation. I pulled out an old Line conditioner and connected the Marantz Sa-14 TRL and I must say this changed things significantly.This is an old Transformer type conditioner that buzzes in a seperate room away fro... 
Is Clayton Audio Out Of Business
Last I spoke to Wilson he said that someone hijacked his website. He never registered the domain name so its gone. He mentioned that he was still operating but it seems to be very minimal at best since I have not heard about him close to a year no... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
However they are doing it everything on the TRL Marantz SA-14 is stellar. Its funny you mentioned the ERS cloth. Since the player just reached the 200+ break in mark, the addition of the ERS cloth elevated the sound especially in the midband to up... 
Clayton Audio
Clayton Audio may not be doing business since their website has been hijacked (Domain name). Last email from Wilson Chen was that he was working on a new monoblock amp. If he is not at CES this year I doubt they are in business anymore. Nice perso... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Cuz,Not there yet hope to have BIT at 300 very soon. I have tubes now so I don't run the system all the time. 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Jack/LK,Thanks for giving me the timeframe. Compared to a fully broken in TRl/Sony 2000es, the TRL/Marantz SA-14 v2 sounds like a lightweight instead of a middleweight Sony. So knowing there is a way to go is encouraging since in most other aspect... 
Doug Henning disappearing act
Audiomart days-I think what we are witnessing IMHO is indicative of our new technology--the email buy. Our hobby is unique in many ways and for me the best experience is in conversation with fellow audiophiles. There is an understanding and respec...
