| difference between ipod models in sound quality ? Contrary to the above posters, I have a 4th gen 20 Gig model and enjoy it very much.I use the amazing Koss 35 clip on earphones (discontinued).I save music @ 192 kbs.Sounds great for portable use.No it is not the same as my rig at home, but if tha... | |
| Beware of Sony and Rootkits This is a good explanation and will allow you to avoid the pitfalls of it, and also make copies for your portable.http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jhalderm/cd3/ | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Lawyerman-Of course Marantz will tell you that- what are they supposed to say? All companies will claim their flagship is SOTA and the benchmark for years to come :)Glad you are enjoying your SA 1. I see from previous threads that you state you so... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 But I can tell you the truth that a stock Marantz SA-1 destroys a TRL Marantz SA-14.Lawyerman- I am a little confused. You state the above, then you provide a lengthy quote from RAM it appears that states how lousy the SA 1 is.I guess Kyle and Dou... | |

| Why not just unplug it? Qdrone- All that matters is that you are happy.Sounds like you have a unique machine.Rock on bro'. | |
| Why not just unplug it? Seriously though it appears you have no idea wbat you're doing and/or what you hear. Maybe it's time to downgrade and save some money. Good luck and good listening.Not very nice comment to a fellow A'goner trying to learn. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Question: Is anyone of you guys using it as a SACD player?Sounds like you really love the SA14 v2.I know TRL thinks the build quality is very very good and it is a great platform for modding.I listen to 95% Redbook. Huge range of quality of record... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Has anyone sent a high end cdp such as a Cary to TRL to be modded and with what results?They have done over 600 units in the past year.Many very high end units to my knowledge of all makes and models. They have also worked on many very expensive m... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Pardales- How many hours do you have on it?I mean no disprespect as everyone has different tastes, but the break in is a big deal on these things for various reasons-not the least is some of the new propreitary wire used in the mod which takes a v... | |
| Bel Canto DAC2 vs. DAC1/1.1? FWIW I had a BC 1.1 and used various transports (Pioneer, CEC, etc) and tried many decent cables with it.It was nice and smooth but there were better digital source solutions out there for my tastes in the used price range of a BC DAC 1.1.You will... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Good point about the TRL modded units will subsequently reveal changes you make in your system regarding tweaks or downstream changes quite easily.I am guessing that mods from most high end shops do this this to some extent. TRL certainly places a... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Baranyi-According to the way I understand Paul's explanation to me-500 hours total of playing time on either CD or SACD (not each) since it is a used unit.If it was a brand new unit, the he does suggest making sure to break in both with some SACD ... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 FYI, they have done well over 600 mods on various units in the last year. Whatever you have, they probably have seen it or are familiar with it.Nice guys and great work. | |
