TRL Marantz Sa-14
dracule1Sorry if it appears that I am being secretive with this Preamp. The preamp is an overachiever and the problem with this is since its new to me in my system I can't be too specific until the TRL is broken in. The surprise here is the presen... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
I only heard of it from a fellow who is using a very expensive Japanese preamp in his very expensive system and he bought one! I had to listen to one so I took a long ride.Well after hearing it I decided to order one. It does something special in... 
Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1
I have seen however a few misses with this Marantz SA-11 in its stock form. I spoke to someone who sold it for the reason that its too digital sounding although it packs in detail like the top players. Its not for everyone and a midas touch is nee...

Hey Guys,An exciting update. Although the TRL Sony 2000es has only 35 hours of playing time I am reporting what I heard. A tube preamp was introduced to me today. I have never heard a preamp fill the soundstage like this unit has. It has just been... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
I just received an email from Paul stating the so far he has not found a good sounding Universal Player that he likes. However, he did not rule out the possibility of applying his mod to the Marantz 9500.The question is does this player even need ...

Many thanks to all for sharing your thoughts about the TRL mod and Marantz players. While I am not a big fan of modders I do respect them. They have given all of us an opportunity to "buy" superior sound for a sensible cost.In the old days these c... 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Uva hifi the thought never occured to me that the TRL may have a kind of house sound and that it did not matter which player one has. But I can't believe that this assumption could be true. Although Paul does not reveal what changes he makes with ...

Thanks for responding. My good friend owns a SA-14 version 2 and had a Sony SCD-1. He loved his SCD-1 player and finds the SA-14 weak in dynamics. He is using isolation with the player and is thinking of adding the TRL mod.I just received my TRL S... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Which mod Philips? Too many variables here. Lets not forget Meitner with Meitner is hard to beat anyway. 
TRL 595-how good is it?
This has earned two thumbs up!! Hey Guido I did not realize that you are so well versed, outstanding commentary. The only question I have how much will it cost me to mod my audiophile brain? I have a million bucks to spend and don't know what to d...

Marantz SA-11S1 and transport noise.
Some of the modders out there damp the transport as part of their routine. You might want to look over your transport and see if you can apply damping material inside to lessen the 'noise'.If you can could you report back in a couple of months as ... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Thank you Deb for responding. In speaking to Paul he does not seem very enthused about moding other units besides the Sony players. This prompted my query. I was not sure if he was trying to discourage me in sending mine in.
