| Listening triangle Really does seem to be a lot of trial an error in speaker placement as each room is so different.I tried the Cardas method and it was different, but the soundstage was not as wide (it called for moving the monitors 4.25' from the sidewalls and 7' ... | |
| Best SACD-CD Player under $1000? The TRL modded Sony 595 mentioned is a very good sounding unit on both SACD and Redbook.Do a search here and on AA Hi Rez.See 6 Moons review.I have no affiliation with seller. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jes45- Yes, I wonder now about the power cords on my TRL modded MF A300 integrated amp, and my TRL Marantz SA14 as well as speaker cables, and IC's I am using now that I have a more transparent and resolving overall system.You are correct that syn... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jay - Yes, send it back. I marvel at the midrange resolution every time I play a CD.You will not be disappointed. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45-There are some SA11's on order to be modded by TRL.They would be able to give you a before/after analysis.As for needing a "quantum" leap from the Sony 2000 ES to upgrade, that is probably hard to do for any machine as you know. I guess it de... | |
| Transistor Research Labs ST-225 Integrated amp I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with the ST 225 with a friend who was trying it out with his system a few weeks ago.I liked the ST 225 very much and agree that it had a very low noise floor which allowed the musical information to be f... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jay-Thanks for the input on power cords. Would you mind listing the brands?How did they compare to the TRL power cord you have?Am interested in what power cords people use and like with the TRL SA14.I am using a Ven Haus Audio power cord made for ... | |
| Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24 Have to agree that the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 that I had was decent, but really not that interesting. There are a lot of nice options in yoru price range.Clio knows his stuff on DACs. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jay- Can't say for sure about the various break in times, but if you used it on all of your components/IC's/speaker cables/power cords then there might be some link that is behind the others. The three day mark seemed to settle everything in for m... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Oops!-I meant to direct my Quciksilver comments to Howard.I think, just be careful to not put a ton of it on the contact. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jay - Yes, I do the male plugs on RCA's also. (Power cord male ends too that go into wall or power conditioner socket).I use enough to "paint" it, but do not put it on thick.I used the little brush they include with it. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jsala- The Quicksilver really does seem to take most of the 72 hours to settle in. Apparently the break in is somewhat dependent upon the current through the specific contacts.Yes, initially, it makes things much brighter and edgy in my experience... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hey Ozzy-You are missing something. Howard is just fine. He is going to end up with a much much better SOTA reference unit and I am sure in this situation they graciously gave him their preferred pricing they are able to get from Marantz. Not sure... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Ozzy-?????It is common practice that the receiver of a shipment,unfortunately, has to file the claim and go through the red tape. Paul worked diligently on behalf of Howard, by the way, with Fedex on this matter. We all heard about this Fedex scre... | |
| Harry Pearson's comments regarding ..... Well, may be worth jumping in here on this topic.I use Record Research Labs Shine Ola.It has had positive professional and many user reviews and is most importantly safe on your CD's and SACD's.There are a lot of stories on the audio forums about ... |
