TRL Marantz Sa-14

Did you try using the sheets and cd directly?

Sometimes I am a real dumba$$.
What exactly do you mean to do here?
Maybe I am doing this wrong.
I placed the anti-static sheet underneath the player.

Am I supposed to put it somewhere else?

Thanks!

Nope, its my fault for the confusion. You can place the antistatic sheet on top or under the player wherever it works best. You can also put your cd into an enclosure that is antistatic and test the results.

Hope this helps. By the way Do you have Paul's number? I seem to have misplaced it.

Thanks

Ok, I understand now. I tried it both on top and underneath the unit. Will be interested to see if it has an impact for Jack or others.

My TRL SA14 is continuing to break in. Speed, dynamics and general smoothness and coherence seemed to vary for better and worse throughout the break in period. The top-end has gotten more refined since about 3-4 days ago but isn't yet where I would like it to be. I figure in a week it will be fully broken in. I still have to try the QuickSilver... will try it first on the audio out and power in of the Marantz then go from there applying it elsewhere in my system. I am told the QuickSilver takes 3 days to itself break in so I better get going on it soon!

Guys,
I assume these anti-static sheet are these glossy semi-translucent dark gray color bags used for motherboard, VGA, and HD packaging, is it? If so, I will get a few from my work. My Ah! CDP seems to be pretty flimsily shielded. Perhaps it will work magic for me.

Paul is wrapping up the work with DV9500. I asked him to evaluate whether disabling the headphone output will improve the sound quality; if it will not have any adverse effect, I also asked to have it modded if possbile.

Jes45(Jack) may swing by to audition the player before it will get shipped back to me. With his extensive experience/knowledge about TRL products, perhaps he can give us some insight! ;)
