| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Bob and JackI am another anxious to hear your impressions. I never heard my SA-14 in it's stock form. I was so ready, after emailing Paul at TRL several times, that i sent my unit to them directly. I know that I love what I hear. :-) I really hope... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs First Sound Presence Deluxe the FS doesn't sound "dry". You can tailor the sound based on the tubes you use. dry - no!best | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs First Sound Presence Deluxe As far as "warmth" and "bloom" is concerned, I'm not sure I'd say that about the First Sound. Detail - Absolutely.Stage - Huge.Power - Beyond!Crystal clarity - With out a doubtDynamics and Slam - Probably unmatched.Warmth and Bloom - nah! The FS w... | |

| TRL Marantz Sa-14 M3pilotI believe that there are 2 seperate circuits, SACD and CD, which need to be broken in. I'm surely not an electrical engineer, so any questions beyond that should be directed to the guys at TRL.hope this helps | |

| How can I raise the height of the sound stage I agree with Fiddler. I have found that speaker cables have a significant impact on the shape and size of the stage. What are your speaker cables?best | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45If you are hearing what makes you happy stay with it. I'm sure the 2000es is an excellent machine. Two questions for you:1. Why are you looking for the v2 Sa-14? Is it for the color? (It is beautiful.) From what I understand - After mods, ther... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Bob.You'll be happy you did. Think about it - If you can get your money back on the mod, and you can resell the Modded unit for what you paid - where will you lose?What will you gain? A digital player whose sound pulls you in. Whose sound seduces ... | |

| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hi BobI've never heard the APL, and probably never will. Can't justify the 5K for the player. A used SA-14 sells for around $1100. Add the $550 for the TRL Mod, and you've got yourself one fine sounding player. Take your left over $3350 and go on ... | |
| Tyler House Sound I'm not sure I would call the drivers "dry" sounding. Crystaline, maybe. Ty uses other high quality parts in addition to the drivers. As with any speaker worth its salt - Tylers will clearly reveal the signal that is being sent to them. If your up... | |
