| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Howard- You might email Paul. He is not crazy about them, but may have a recommendation based upon how they did the power supply mods in the player. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? I am surprised this product ever got any traction at all, but audiophiles are an eccentric bunch.I have seen worse purchases in this hobby (How about a $500 wooden knob).

| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Maybe folks would be interested in doing a little reading here.http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/general/messages/422620.htmlThis is sort of Wizard of Oz like...."Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"This is a strange hobby. | |
| Modded Players TRL has done 600+ players in the past year and has done about anything you can think of including very very high priced units.Like most modders, they can improve any unit. Like most modders they have their favorites.They have had the best results ... | |
| Modded Players Actaully I think that the mod price on the Sony 900 through TRL may be getting raised to $750 due the extensive labor involved, but they could tell you if they have implemented that new price yet.Other places to research are Modwright and Empirica... | |

| AKM dacs - which products use them ? AKM makes a lot of DACs for consumer and Pro Audio use. No big discovery by Behringer or anyone else you mentioned.I have seen them implemented in 90$ soundcards and $30,000 SOTA rigs.There is a lot that goes into great digital in addition to the ... | |
| Where to buy SACD's ? Look around at http://www.sa-cd.net/for selections and user comments and referrals as to where to buy.Many used ones here in classifieds also. | |
| Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer? Well, it is true. I have never heard a Reimyo, but for him in his system, with his biases about what his ideal sound is; he felt it was warranted. I know him and he knows audio.Of course, someone else may come to a different conclusion. | |
| Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer? There is only one unit in my experience that stands above everything I have heard as to make it a benchmark, that is the Reimyo CDP777.Agree that there are many choices and every unit and manufacturer mentioned here is no doubt very very good. I t... | |
| Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer? I have seen the inside of the TRL Sony 900 and know somewhat the amount of R&D that went into this by Paul and Brian and the required labor and parts for each unit mod. Without discussing specifics it is a ridiculous bargain as are all of thei... | |

| Which player has all this???? Might look at some modshops that maybe still work on the 3910 (maybe APL or Modwright) as I think they can handle your needs. | |
| Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new? Phaelon-SACD is an attractive add on IHMO. I have 500 CD's and 15 SACD's.It can be extraordinary and is nice to have the option.If you like classical-definitely should be considered.Just my opinion. |
