| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Well, you may be a newbie but you sure have a lot of energy and passion for audio.Welcome and have fun here! | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Gandme- That is a bigass room! Lots of cubic feet. Not sure I understand your description of clipping, but I am not an audio engineer either.What I have been told is that the amp could care less where the volume control/pot is at. Your amp just ex... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Nice equipment and quite a statement about the SA11.Great user name by the way. Bridge of Sighs one of the better blues rock LP's of all time. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Gandme-I really like Parasound gear. I had a 750A before I got my Musical Fidelity A300. I still use an older 800II to power my pro audio/recording monitors setup.My best friend just set up his system with JC 1 monoblocks. They are monsters.FWIW, ... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Gandme- You are not butting in-you are just joining the party!Glad to hear it fits well in your system. Not sure what to say about your different gain levels from your sources. What is your preamp that you use? Nice amp by the way. It has been tol... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Oldpet-Well, I found a nice deal on a SA14v1 myself and it is on it's way next week to TRL.Keep us posted. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 84audio-There has not been an 8260 sent in to TRL yet, but it certainly might hold promise simply based upon the same DACs, and the general Marantz design concept as similar to the SA14.It was a Class A unit in S-fool FWIW.My hunch is it might be ... | |
| Best Dac/Transport Under 50,000 Tube Research Labs makes a signal processor that meets your criteria.In that price range, I would want an in home trial with my system in my room, but that is probably stating the obvious. http://www.tuberesearchlabs.com/products/mult_proc.htm | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Howie-Certainly I apologize if anything I said sounded like an attack as that was not my intention.A few things:I think TRL is a lot more experienced about a wide variety of units than you think as they actually are willing to mod more than just o... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Oldpet- Glad to hear that the unit sounds like a winner for you. The people I have heard from about the TRL Marantz SA14 have all stated it is extremely impressive across the audio spectrum.Enjoy! | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Howie-You have a way of making things quite complicated. No real secrets about how TRL ranks different units at this point:The 595 is likely the best value at this point for price/performance. For a $150 stock unit plus the $550 mod you get one he... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 "I am a bit suspicious of TRL"It looks like you have been debating doing a mod for over a year with anyone.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1083355590&openusid&zzDcaudio&4&5#DcaudioThere are many choices out there.... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Hmmm...Howie - I am not sure I am understanding your post very well.I am making no claims that anything is the best to mod, or is the best player when modded. The only point I was making was that units with newer chipsets might offer better potent... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 DCAudio- You may want to email Paul at TRL and see what he thinks about your upgrade or mod path with the 555ES.I am sure a place like TRL or SACD mods could improve the stock player. The question is whether the technology used on the 555ES has be... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 I think the SA14 version 2 did come in gold in addition to having some parts upgrades of some type.They show up here used at a higher price.The SA 14 is no longer in production as it has been replaced by the SA11 if I am not mistaken.Don't know if... |
