TRL Marantz Sa-14

Baranyi-

I forgot that Ezra lives in the Chicago area.
He knows audio.
Glad to hear you had a chance to hear the TRL SA14.
I enjoy mine very very much.
Good luck in your search!

Thank you. I have a question whether all the Version 2 marantz sa-14's had the champagne face plates with God accents? I have never seen one of the black version one sa-14's. How do they look in comparison? Bob

Baranyi-

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.

This link is much better picture:

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.
