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?

Jsala,
Acutally the TRL9500 will be used in a stereo rig only also. I am hoping that I can program most sequencies into my iPaq where I consolidate most of my remotes into. Things that concern me the most are 5.1 and 2-ch switch, DSD and CD/PCM layer switch, and a few others. I am wondering does the buttons of the SA14 remote work with DV9500?

Thanks,
-Howard
You can program most of the settings once. I lugged the 9500 to the tv room to switch the digital output on and select 2 channels, then never had to bother again. I don't know if the remote for the sa14 works with the 9500... that would help.
Trl family-

Break-in the sacd section along with the redbook alternating the hours. Here is an interesting tweek. Add anti-static sheet for computer chips on top or under your TRL player.

I like the solidity of the sound from this tweek. Let me know your experience.

Anti static sheet? Where do you get it?
Did you just lay it right on the player? Or, lay it on the shelf, then put the player on top of it? Let us know.

Thanks
La45-

Thanks for the suggestion on the SACD/CD break in.
On the previous TRL Sony 595 I just loaded up both types of discs in the changer.
SACD sounds quite wonderful so far on the couple I do have.

What kind of anti-static sheet do you mean? The kind that video cards or motherboards come wrapped in?
