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?

Oldpet (Paul): They make us all feel that way. I'm now enjoying their new ST-225 amp along with the SA-14 ...

If you like the sound of the SA-14 with the latest updates, you'll thoroughly enjoy their amp. It definitely has the TRL sound. (Dynamics, black back ground, tight focus, incrdible detail, wide deep stage, full rich sound)

Back to the music!

Have to agree on the new TRL ST-225 integrated amp.
Nice amp. Heard it yesterday for a few hours with some Aerial 7B's.
Very natural and detailed sound.
Hi Jack
Wow! Paul said he is really impressed with the ST-225. Did you buy it or are you borrowing it? I understand that there is quite a waiting list. Keep us informed as you continue to listen to the ST-225.

Oldpet: I bought the third ST-225 to leave the shop. Brian let me borrow the proto-type for a week after hearing it in his system. I called them the next day to set up/confirm my order.

I have around 500 hours on the integrated now and yes, it went through the break in similar to how their player mods do ... they improve along the entire break in period.

There is incredible synergy in my system with the Magicos, the SA-14 and FIM Gold cabling. I plan on spooling a reel master later tonight, just to see how it does with TRUE analog.

I should probably stop here and just write a review for the amp.

Best,

Jack
Hello guys,
How is every one's SA14? Has anyone got the TRL SA11 yet? My cliam venture hopefully is coming to an end soon with FedEX. Yes, it has almost been two months. If everything goes well, I will use the reimbusement moeny to get the TRL SA11 this time.

I heard from Paul that a few people already have their new transistor amps. Could someone (i.e. Jack or others :)give some insight about this amp in comparison to other top-tier amps? Thanks.
