TRL Marantz Sa-14

"I tried to find out where things are with the SA-11 mod but the thread was expunged."

My TRL SA11S1 is arriving today. From my conversations with Paul, I'm thinking it's one of his first. Anyone else out there with one?

I've not heard the SA-14 but can post impressions if anyone is interested.

M3Pilot,
Welcome to the group. Please keep us posted about the progress of TRL SA11S1 break-in. Which player(s) does SA11S1 replace?

Received my TRl SA-14 v2 yesterday. Let the break-in begin. I bought the unit used before I had it sent to TRL, so the unit as a whole is broken in. Do I still need to break in CD and SACD seperately post mod? Thanks,

Pardales-
I don't think so, but I could be wrong.
I didn't and have not noticed any change in SACD since my break in period.
A lot of the break in has to do with common parts modded or replaced I think, but no one knows the specifics except TRL.
A technique I like is to run for several hours (24-48) and shut down for a few hours or overnight and start again.

Enjoy the player. It is pretty special.

Thank you for the welcome Hchi.

I'm replacing a Cary 303/200 which was ok but its highish output didn't agree with my Pathos Classic 1 mk2 integrated. Rounding out the rest of my rig are Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors, Harmonic Technology Pro Silway III balanced interconnects and HT Pro9+ speaker wires.

Pardales, I specifically asked Paul that question (because I think someone else mentioned it here earlier) and he told me that there was no separate break-in for CD and Redbook.

As of last night, it was sounding quite good with only a handful of hours. Lots of detail . . . not in a tiresome way but more like a "you-are-there" sense.
