| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hello again,I wondered if anyone has any impression of the Marantz SA-11 before and after the TRL mod? After so much anticipation I was hoping there was some info. I love the looks of this player but will not sacrifice the Sony 2000es TRL if it do... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hi All,Wanted to jump in on the TRL action here. The break in question is a very good thought provoking issue. From my own experience I was following the break-in period on my TRL Sony 2000es and my log shows a significant change at 310 hours.I wi... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Oldpet-Yeah. Lets start a new thread indeed. This has been so much fun. For anyone interested I have improved the 2000es TRL Sony by adding and reinforcing the transport mehanism. If you take a close look you will see the type of material used for... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Lkdog- You are so right on the "a great LP" will hit the target. So many more great LP sources than what I have seen on modern day redbook. Your set up sounds like its cooking though and I would love to get back into vinyl again.Jes45- Hope you ar... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hi,LKdog, thanks for sharing your impressions on the differences. I just heard the Marantz SA-1 player side by side comparison to a Technics table (highly modified) and great LP playback system. Vinyl rules and the difference in this system is a '... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Lkdog-Yes its the naturalness of the sound thats maybe the central point of the mod. Whether it competes against an LP system is probably unfair since the LP itself is superior in many ways to a cd. Anyone with a high quality turntable system plea... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 84Audo,Very incitefull stuff. Thanks for sharing info on your experience with DAC-transport combo and how they compare to the stock SA-14. Your Exemplar 2900 mod sounds interesting. For info how much is the Tucker mod? He has a good reputation for... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hi Islandflyfisher,What you are asking for if anyone compared their TRL SA14 with one of the DAC listed may be rare indeed. Your best bet is to re-read the thread again. There is no doubt in several minds on this thread that the $550 cost will tra... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hi Howard,Sorry to hear about your misfortune. As for a free public sharing web store for uploading pix, your best bet maybe your local library or College. If you know someone there they can do the upload. There are some internet cafe's around so ... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Howard-Did you pay a good price for your Marantz 9500? I like the Universal aspect and with the TRL mod, I assume the Video section will remain intact.If you have a source for that player (the gold finish sounds fascinating) please email me direct... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Audioezra,Well said. So I take it that you are underwhelmed with your TRL and your SA-14 player? Frankly, I am disappointed that I have not paid over $2,000 for my mod player. I have gotten so used to paying for high performance and getting less f... | |
| Review: Argent Audio Pursang S and( BOB) Speaker cable Goldeneraguy,Nice review. How much are the Pursang cables? And as to "Bob", you seem impressed. How much did that cost? | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hi Reb,Thanks for the info on your TRL phono stage. You make a very good observation that all the mods share the same 'characteristcs', lower noise and smoother presentation without sacrificing detail. Very interesting since its anybody's guess wh... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hchi-I applied the ERS with copper sheets in strategic but safe areas around the transport. There is good space inside the Sony so its easy to apply. I am going at each application in small steps stoping and listening each step of the way.I am usi... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Sbayne-Yes, I have the ERS sheets in small pieces combined with copper shielding. I just applied a few pieces around the transport area. Keep in mind I am using the Sony 2000es which has no shielding. The transport is entirely plastic so I intende... |
