TRL Marantz Sa-14

I am running non-balanced as my integrated does not have balanced connections.

Was wondering of anyone uses power conditioning of any type on this unit?
Was thinking of an Audio Magic Mini Digital passive unit, or a modded ART unit Paul at TRL suggested.

Hello Cuz,

It's not going to sound "right" until it reaches around 300 hours. that's when the bottom end and lower mids fleshed out for me and the image focus tightened up dramatically.

Mine kept sounding better up until around 550 to 600 hours, although, to be honest, I didn't keep that close of tabs on the hours after the 300 hour mark.

After the 300 hour mark, I just sat back and enjoyed the music. I still find myself staying up later than I should ...

Keep us informed, LA45 and Shuang.

Best,

Agree that around 300 hours it really kicks in.
Changes continue after that but they seem more incremental.

Clio09 has the new D225 TRL basic amp (not integrated). Got it yesterday. I can't wait to hear his impressions.

Lkdog: How have you been? Any new changes to the system? And the kitchen remodel ... ?

Jack-

LOL! Kitchen almost done. Had turkey day here and we broke in the new oven. I am broke now so doing cheap tweaks :)
Kitchen remodels are the crack-cocaine of today's women.

Am wondering about power conditioning for the TRL SA14.
The Audio Magic Mini Digital looks interesting.

As for the tweaks-I changed the coupling material between my speaker stands and my ACI Jaguar monitors, and also am now using two ziplock bags of sand on top of the TRL SA 14.
Both made a difference, especially switching to Blu Tack underneath the ACI Jags.
System sounding great-wish I could buy the TRL power amp.
I think the Jags would enjoy a bit more juice than 150 x 2.
