Reb1208-Let us know what your impressions are.Thanks. 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Ok, I understand now. I tried it both on top and underneath the unit. Will be interested to see if it has an impact for Jack or others.Here is the TRL contact info from the website.Tube Research Labs, Inc.109 C St SEQuincy, WA 98848509-787-5405509... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Alex-I would agree it is all subjective and system dependant. It also depends on what revision the APL unit was when compared to TRL. Yes, all modders are continually enhancing their work. People like different things. At a certain level of qualit... 
TRL or VSEI Level 4 for Sony S9000ES
Donbellphd- Yes, definitely chat with Paul. The redbook may be able to be enhanced dramatically and you will maybe not need a DAC. You can always A/B them when you get the unit back.They also allegedly do wonders with the video sections.Have fun!

Did you try using the sheets and cd directly?La45- Sometimes I am a real dumba$$.What exactly do you mean to do here?Maybe I am doing this wrong.I placed the anti-static sheet underneath the player.Am I supposed to put it somewhere else?Thanks! 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Guido- Yes, the RAM/APL thing is entertaining. Alex- Interesting offer to folks, but we all know that owners of any gear are rarely objective. I have already talked to and heard from several folks who prefer certain TRL units to various iterations... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Guido-Well, at least you have a sense of humor and don't actually take these pseudo shootouts seriously.I actually can accept somebody like Steve (711smilin) who may be off the hook a bit, but is honest in his undying APL allegiance versus anythng... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
711smilin-Thanks for the opinion Steve.Well stated, also. 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
Well, I tried a couple different CDs and different size anti-static sheets and could not hear a difference in my setup.La45- I have no doubt at all it has made an audible difference in your system.It may have something to do with the unique and di... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Guido-The author indicated that his friend with the TRL was not happy with the results and one can only assume that he took his TRL home in total shame and disgust.His wife has no doubt left him by now, he was fired from his job, and he is living ... 
TRL or VSEI Level 4 for Sony S9000ES
Donbellphd-I would email Paul at TRL and see if they have done any of these units or what his thoughts might be on it. He knows Sony units quite well.I have had TRL do two digital sources (Sony 595 and Marantz SA14), as well as an integrated amp (... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Tvad- My thoughts exactly.RAM has a "shootout" post on their website forum right now where all RAM units (including their entry level units) best every single APL unit. Of course in that "shootout" the writer was a RAM employee and it was his web ... 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Ho hum....Another "shootout" from an owner of an APL unit which shockingly states that APL is the superior unit to Brand X (fill in the blank). LOL! 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
La45-Tried a large bag/sheet that came with a mobo, but didn't notice a difference in my setup when placed underneath.Will try again this evening with a different CD.You never know about these things! Could have something to do with other variable... 
Best Integrated Amp.
Not sure of your price range. Many nice options mentioned here.I have a Musical Fidelity A 300 solid state integrated (150W X 2) which is very well reviewed in it's stock form and can be had used here for 850-900$. They were $1700 new I think.I re...
