| Weiss 501 4 channel upgrade For further clarification, the original can still be ordered and is called Weiss DAC501 (black or silver). The new, upgraded version is called Weiss DAC501 - MK2 (black or silver). | |
| Weiss 501 4 channel upgrade The new MK2 (they changed the name since 4ch was confusing to most) 501 still has only two analog outputs (RCA or XLR balanced stereo). The DAC itself looks exactly the same. The upgrade is internal, I believe doubling the amount of DAC chips used... | |
| Anyone having shipping issues with Viva Tubes I purchased some tubes for my phono stage from Viva. Since they don't have a low noise testing option like, for example, TubeDepot, I specified that I needed a low noise pair when I placed the order. When the tubes arrived I found them too noisy f... | |
| In-wall cable I plan on upgrading several of my dedicated lines with this: Kingrex In Wall Wire | |
| Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA @celtic66 +1. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @aolmrd1241 +1. | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @markalarsen My feelings exactly. I currently have five (three in one stereo and two in another) and plan on adding three more. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! +2. Owned the 07x for over a year and would call it anything but noisy. That noisy unit must have been defective. | |
| Puritan PSM156 I have PSM156 conditioners in three stereos and one home recording studio. I have plenty of experience with the Ultimate PCs and recommend them. I think Puritan should market to the pro crowd, as the improvements that these units impart in the st... | |
| Coda Csib V1 Integrated amp Congratulations and well done. Looks to me that you are set for life! The Coda S5.5 has become my endgame amp (when I need an external amp; not the case with my ATC SCM50ASLT actives in another room). | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! I believe those specs were listed in the old Coda website which dealers at the time copied into their web pages. | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool IMHO, Wally Tools is the best place for turntable set up training and tools. I have them all and based on my experience, their system (especially the cartridge evaluation service that results in near perfect zenith or, in some instances, exposes ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Please audition Bryston in your stereo before you consider buying. Often in reviews, Coda is compared with Pass as both designers worked together years ago at Threshold. In most cases, the equivalent spec but much more expensive Pass (someone has ... | |
| For the love of...kits? Love my Korg Triode B1 line stage (linked). Really amazing and you can dial in just the right amount of distortion for your tastes by adjusting the bias. I also built the F5 amp (kit no longer available but they do have circuit boards and parts p... | |
| Stereo Amp recommendations for Legacy Audio XDs I’ve owned Focus XDs and also recommend the Coda S5.5. I finally got fed up with the heat generated by tube amps in the AZ desert but couldn’t find anything solid state that was better or equal to the Zesto Bia 200 Select stereo 100W/channel class... |
