TRL Marantz Sa-14

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?

La45: Hey cousin, did you run a ground strap to the anti-static sheet, or just lay it on top without? I have a friend who "builds" computers that has boxes full of the sheets that you mention. Any specific size or material (color?) that I should ask for?

I'm really excited about this tweak, even though I can't imagine my bass being much more "solid".

Thanks,
Jack

Pick up a preowned Marantz SA-1 sacd/cd player and end your search. I own two Marantz SA-1's and ditched every dac/transport combo you can ever imagine. In excess of $50K combination units.

Hi Cuz,

I had a hunch that anti-static materials might have some affect. I used an antistatic enclosure from a chip.

The reason I mention it here is to report that I heard the sound change to a more solid character and wanted some of you to try it and report back here.

I want to add a larger anti-static sheet to cover the top of the transport area since the sheet I have is 8"x 5 3/4" small. Since this is all experimental I can't offer any guidance on size or offer any info on if there are different anti-static ratings. Anyone out there that knows about this aspect are welcome to comment.

I fully appreciate the note on the Marantz SA-1 player as a "search is over" final component. I have noticed that they are now appearing on the re-sale market for a good price. I just wish they were a little closer to my budget.
