TRL Marantz Sa-14



After speaking to Paul at TRL I am very curious to hear from those who own this unit what improvements do you hear with the player before and after the mod.

The SA-14 sounds weak in the bass and has no dynamics in comparison to some players like the Sony Scd-1 in stock form. Has anyone compared the TRL Sa-14 to the Sony Scd-1?

Pardales - How much do you want for the TRL SA-14 v.2? I'm being serious. Sometimes,like you say, equipment is not someone's "cup of tea."
I already sold the unit. The last point I listened to it was at the 100 hour mark. Just to reiterate, it is not at all hard for me to see what people like about this player....TRL is doing great work and Paul and Co. are fine people to deal with, it was just not for me.
Sbayne,

Dang! Why didn't I think of asking Pardales that question? You snooze you lose.

Hey Cuz,

I will have a TRL SA-14 here very soon. I hope that I will have a chance to compare to the MARANTZ SA-1.

My winter listening is all set. What isolation gizmos if any are being used out there? Is this transport rock solid?
Any advantage when using the balance outputs vs. RCA?

Jack-

Do you think I should send Paul my preamp for his mod? Meitner Switchman pre.
It is not my intention to change the subject of the TRL Marantz but, I am contemplating sending a Cary 303/100 cdp to Paul at TRL to be modded. Would the already good Cary benefit from a TRL mod or would a better choice be a dac? Has anyone sent a high end cdp such as a Cary to TRL to be modded and with what results? TIA.
