| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jsala- MAybe the ST 225 is something to consider down the road. Paul and Brian are quite excited about the product. For TRL with their worldclass SOTA tube preamp and amp experience to get excited about a SS integrated is something of note.If I ca... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 The fee is the standard $550 they charge on all mods for digital units/DACS/transports/ etc.Brian feels that the MF A300 changes were very nice.Not in the class of their new solid state 225 watt a side ST-225 integrated amp, but he was surprised h... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45-I get my TRL SA14 unit Tuesday if the Fedex tracking info is correct.I also recently had TRL mod my integrated amplifier (Musical Fidelity A 300). I have only had it back for three days so only have initial impressions.It will take several we... | |
| Samsung Hd841 or Toshiba 4960 modifications Init2winit-Maybe we are not talking about the same publication.I have read countless PF reviews over the years.Here is their editorial policy.http://www.positive-feedback.com/philosophy.htmI have even talked to David Robinson a bit about various g... | |
| Samsung Hd841 or Toshiba 4960 modifications Well, I highly doubt Positive Feedback, or any reputable audio publication is going to line up three RAM units and say how unequivocally wonderful they are- and then also how the APL is just a fricking dog not deserving of being a doorstop. If the... | |
| Samsung Hd841 or Toshiba 4960 modifications LOL!Yes, we all are shocked at the results of the "evaluation" done by Doug Jesse of RAM that states that everything that RAM makes is better than the flagship APL modded unit.Now Doug may believe that, and it would be fine if it is stated as adve... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 I get my TRL modded SA14 this week.Will post some comments that may provide some additonalinfo then.Looking forward to it! | |
| Samsung Hd841 or Toshiba 4960 modifications Wow. Does Kyle of RAM know about this?Can't believe he would be happy with this activity by his RAM staff.He tries to keep things fair as far as I know. | |
| integrateds in the modern age: consensus? Well, I am not sure about a consensus being achieved on anything in this crazy hobby, but I do have an integrated which for me solved the issue of matching a preamp and amp.I got a Musical Fidelty A 300. Was pretty happy with it but.....Not one to... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Well, I know what works for me, but my opinion and info is just one of many - if it provides something useful to someone else then great.Everybody has a different system, a different room, and a different set of ears.Everbody also has different de... | |
| Upgrade time way past : Amp/Pre or Int for $1000 Here is what I am doing FWIW.I have had separate preamp and amp setups and about two years ago went with a used Musical Fidelity A 300 integrated.I have been pretty happy with it but recently decided to have it modded by Tube Research Labs whom ma... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Tvad - I would tend to agree that people generally will utilize self hypnosis or auto suggestion in forming their impressions of their new mod that is in direct correlation to the amount they spent on the investment.No one wants to say that the 30... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Pardales - To my knowledge, TRL has not done an 8260. I think they may have done both versions of the SA14, but were not able to do a side by side comparision if I recall correctly.Maybe if you email Paul he can comment on that.I seem to recall so... | |
| best CD player or DAC under $1000 Tube Research Labs modded Sony ES2000 might be worth a look for you. I think you can get one for around $800 including unit and the mod.Good luck in your search. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Oldpet- You are killing me, man.I can't wait. It will be a couple weeks before I get mine.It isn't getting shipped to TRL until next week :( |
