Voltage conversion in Wyred4 Sound DAC
Also recommend contacting EJ at Wyred. Wyred has a much smoother sound than the Benchmark which can sound very bright. 
The Jolida JD100A CD player by today's standards?
Have the Jolida modded by Parts Connexion, still very viable player and not overly warm. Also have the Spendor SP100s, great speaker. 
Clean Enclosure Von Schweikert VR-1's
Use Howard's restore a finish in the appropriate color. 
DAC woes - what to do
I would check into the new Wyred4Sound Dac1LE. It is DSD capable, upgradeable, Sabre 9018 chip and is $995. 
Wyred4sound, Lampizator 4
I have a Wyred Dac and just had it upgraded. I think they have a bstock unit for sale on their site. 
Is it worth refurbishing my tube Marantz?
Still crying about selling my Marantz 7C! 
Worth doing upgrades to my W4S DAC-1?
Just upgraded my Dac1, well worth the money. You have to remember that this is a factory upgrade, not a half ass third party upgrade! 
REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC
Have the Dac 1 and recently had it upgraded. Wyred has a much better power supply driving superior parts for better sound. 
Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
Went up to the SF Bay Area to audition speakers. Heard a Krell B&W system. At least it was a nice drive there and back, because it was a total system failure. 
Wyred 4 Sound or Peachtree audio
Just purchased the new Wyred ST1000 mk2 for my Maggies, sweet. 
Bookshelf speakers $500 -$700
Pioneer sp-bs22 is a great starting point, just bought a pr for my granddaughter. They will pop up on Amazon for $89 a pr. Next big jump up is the Silverline Minuet Supreme + that will easily compete with the Spendors, Harbeths , etc at two to thr... 
Good inexpensive temporary speakers
Pioneer 22s 
Good speakers with small woofers = 10 cm/4"
Silverline Minuet Supreme + 
Chinese integrated for around $1k
Rogue Sphinx

Have heard the Pioneer a20 with the Pioneer 22s. You would have spend much more to get better sound.Both can be purchased at substantial dicounts.
