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?

Here is a link with a small picture of an SA14 v1.
I think they only came in black.

The v2's certainly were very attractive and only came in that traditional champagne. It is my understanding that there is no difference after the TRL mod between the two versions, but check with Paul at TRL about that.
The v2's are usually more used than the v1's.

The v1 is a nice looking unit and like v2, the build quality is very good.
My understanding was that all the version 2's were in the champagne color. I waited to find one because I wanted one that color.
Thanks for the links. While the black is certainly nice, I agree with Pardales that the champagne is amazing looking. Bob
Has anyone here heard or owned a stock sony xa777es? and if so how would they compare the sound to the modded sa 14?
