TRL Marantz Sa-14

I had basically a very similiar view of the Stock SA-11. Today I am sending off payment for a TRL SA-11.

Reb1208-

My friend here on AG (tmoore) also placed himself on the order for a TRL SA11.
He discussed this at length with Paul after he could not find an SA14 the last few weeks.
I am sure that you have also talked extensively with Paul, and he feels that these units should turn out beautifully also.
Will be interesting to see what people think, and what TRL thinks when they hear both the SA14 and SA11 side by side.
They are doing enough SA14's that they should have one in the shop to compare when they get yours in for modding.
If it has a similar signature and sound to the SA14, I think you will find the issues that Jack describes as addressed very well. I am very happy with my SA14 in my setup as it breaks in.
Regards-

Figures, the SA-11's become available after I buy a used SA-14 ... must be my luck.

Reb1208: Please share your first impressions when you get the unit. I'm very interested in knowing how they compare.

I might have to make the 150 mile journey to hear it while it's in the shop ...

Lkdog: Heard you may spend a little time with the ST-225. Keep us informed.

La45: Hey Cuz, any luck with the anti-static material source?

jes45, you've heard the TRL Esoteric DV50S at tube research and the SA14. Now tell me honestly, is it Esoteric or Marantz?
Thanks

Jes45-

Well, I guess TRL did some kind of demo of the new SS integrated ST-225 with an audio group (Staephan Harrell's of 6 Moons?) other reviewers, and people from LA and Las Vegas.
I haven't heard how it went.

Yes, I will have one available to audition as my best friend is going to try it with his Soundlabs.

Should be interesting.
