| Weiss 501 DAC I tried several external streamers and preferred direct to Weiss in every case. In the big Gustard R26 thread at head-fi, most preferred direct to R26. | |
| Vera-Fi Audio Vera-Link Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Streaming Amplifiers Yes, I installed a pair on my sons Klipsch RP-8000F floor standers. Pretty amazing for the price. These certainly can rock (EDM in his case). A breakthrough product for young folks on an extreme budget. | |
| Weiss 501 upgrade to 4ch @agisthos I agree. | |
| Weiss 501 upgrade to 4ch @celtic66 Thanks for that. There is only one upgrade and that includes the "4 channel part". I don't like the name because it's confusing and you still end up with stereo outputs. What they are referring to are additional internal DAC chips. So yo... | |
| Bob Robbins' setup guide BTW, thanks to the OP for bringing this to our attention. | |

| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, Late model Merlin TSM monitors. I still have and use mine. Over 20 years old. | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC Several folks I know and myself drive ATC SCM50ASL(T) speakers directly with the Weiss DAC501. Most find the many DSP features useful. As far as I know, none of us are planning any further upgrades. One auditioned the T&A 200 and preferred the... | |
| Looking for advice for a good 3.5mm to RCA I use and enjoy the WireWorld Nano-Silver Eclipse with my Chord Mojo2. They make several models at different price points. | |
| Legacy Audio I-V2 anyone? Here's that review: Legacy Audio i.V4 Ultra Review | |
| No love for Legacy Audio I've heard plenty of highly reviewed product sound bad at shows. Best sound at shows is more often than not the set up skills of the exhibitor much more than the components or system themselves. Just ask Jim Smith, one of the best system set up gu... | |
| DH Labs power cables DH Labs has made high value, excellent cables for decades. They fly under the radar due to no marketing or review chasing. Keeps the cost down. I'm not surprised with your results. | |
| The best plug in filter ever! I recently received a pair of Purons to try out on my main stereo. I honestly was not expecting to hear a difference as I'm using a full Puritan system (PSM156, Ultimate power cord, GroundMaster, RouteMater, 10AWG dedicated line, Environmental Pot... | |
| Any love for the Gentalex Gold Lion 12ax7 gold pin? The JJ E83CC/12AX7 frame grid is my favorite current production 12AX7 at about half the price of the Gold Lion. A number of other folks have said the same. The Gold Lion is okay but not great and overpriced for what you get IMHO. JJ E83CC/12AX7 | |
| No love for Legacy Audio I agree on Legacy's veneering. I was once able compare the finish on a pair of entry level Legacy HD Studio monitors to a $41k pair of speakers I will not name. The Legacy finish was much nicer. |
