| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Agreed on the 300 hour mark for the sound to really start filling out. Bass does not really kick in until then, but when it does you will be quite pleased. 500 hours easy for full break in.Have fun! | |
| Musical Fidelity A300 mod by Tube Research Labs Sunil- I would call TRL and try and connect with Brian Weitzel whom you probably know already.He really took a major interest in the transformation of the MF A300 unit.

| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Pardales- Chatted with Paul about the break in issue to verify what we talked about months ago.The answer is yes and no (:>If the machine was brand new, then more yes as you have to break in both SACD and CD for a period of time.If the unit was... | |
| Best SACD player under $1500? Agree with the Sony recommendations.Another alternative for slightly more money ($1100+ used and $550 for mod) is a used Marantz SA14 modded by TRL.A new unit alternative is a Sony 2000ES modded by TRL which you can get for probably $800+ total.Go... | |

| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45-I know you are just teasing :) We all know the the TRL Sony 2000ES is an elite player also. I know of a very experienced audio industry guy who sold his $4000 modded Denon from another well known modder and now owns the TRL 2000ES(Actually tw... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Welcome to all the new owners of the TRL SA14!It really still brings a smile to my face every time I spin a disk.As for vibration dampening; I am using isoblock type things that Brian W. recommended. Have not tried others and I simply have 4 of th... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Baranyi-You will not be disappointed.Have fun! | |
| Not another which is best but, I need help w/CDP In that price range, a TRL modded Sony 2000ES SACD/CD player is hard to beat (around $775-800 including mod).Good luck. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Baranyi and Pardales-Agreed. The champagne is really sweet looking and that color is a classic Marantz look. | |

| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Baranyi-Here is a link with a small picture of an SA14 v1.I think they only came in black. http://www.consumerreview.com/cat/audioreview/digital-sources/cd-players/Marantz/PRD_321710_1586crx.aspxThe v2's certainly were very attractive and only cam... | |
| Problems with Optrix Spray Socprof-Thanks for "clarifying" :)I have read where Shine Ola alegedly reduces reading errors. It does seem to be a clean solution and improves the overall audio and video presentations IMHO.Brian is pretty obsessive about getting his solutions pu... | |
