| Problems with Optrix Spray Socprof-Not sure what you mean by the comment that Shine Ola is a cleaner rather than a clarifier. Yes, it cleans.It also has a positive effect on the sound presentation according to most who use it.Maybe I don't understand the terms. | |
| CD Player or DAC CD player unless you already have an excellent transport.I had a Bel Canto 1.1 DAC.Not bad, nothing special.For $1500 you have many options new and used. | |
| Problems with Optrix Spray You might try Shine Ola.Many people have had good success with it and it doe snot harm disks at all. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Baranyi - Call or email Paul at TRL. He has had representative units of almost all of the modded machines of those you are considering come through the TRL shop for work and has likely worked on all of the stock units these modders use also. They ... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45-Well, I actually had pretty limited experience in listening to higher end digital. Just my stuff through the years and a friend who actually has had some high end DACs, etc.I got my first TRL unit (595) without hearing it first. I had talked ... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45- The TRL SA14 is better than anything I have had before including:-CEC transport/Bel Canto DAC 1.1-Cary 308-other various midlevle Pioneer/Sony players.It is also better than the Sony TRL 595 I had this Spring which was an excellent player in... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Oldpet-Glad to hear you are enjoying your TRL SA14.It is a fine unit.Yes, you are neurotic, but we all are :) | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Another way to look at it is, and all this is, is, another way to look at it: how many modified TRL CD players have you seen for sale on this site? I'm a pretty regular Audiogoner and I have only seen one.I sold my TRL Sony 595 pretty quickly when... | |
| Final ditch effort to improve my sound. Pls. help Not sure of your budget or if you are looking for another universal.Many mnay options allegedly better than the 8400.I do think modded units can offer exceptional value in some cases. Do some reserach on various modders here, and decide what you t... | |
| Which headphones are comfortable? Another vote for Senns HD 600's. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Pardales-Yes. They have done many current models I believe. | |
| Listening triangle Robm321-Yes! That "something" that I mentioned that kicked in is almost like sticking your head under water in the "pool" of sound.Bad analogy, but their is some kind of boundary that is present at the e-triangle point. You are more immersed in th... | |
| Listening triangle Robm321- Interesting. I had not tried sitting with my head in the equilateral triangle spot as you have. I guess my room did not really allow it with where I had my couch (and listening position while sitting normally). If I sit on the edge of the... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Sbayne-Yes, very thorough and thoughtful comments.However, all those great attributes have not melted together into one very believable sound. I still know Im listening to a CD. There are many who believe that the TRL players actually take near 7... | |
| Listening triangle Oops. Should have said my 8'X 10' X 10' triangle was not a triangle with equal sides.I did read somewhere where this was suggested as possibly desirable, but that was just a theory. |
