@ricevs You planning on modding this VTV one?  
Bruno Strikes Again. Purifi 1ET7040SA VTV Amplifier.
@ctbarker32 Thanks for this review. It was very useful for me since I have been waiting on a more powerful Purifi amp since last year. My desire is to get the same sound as my Benchmark AHB2 monos but with more power at 2 ohms for my hard to drive... 
FM Tuners
BTW - I ran out of RCA cables so I temporarily swapped one from my Musetec 005 DAC to the Sony and this Sony sounds better than I have ever heard. I have always used RCA cables costing less than $100 on the Sony but now I think I will have to keep...

Why has Virtual Systems Activity disappeared from the forum section?
"Virtual Systems Activity" If someone submits a new system or makes changes to an existing system then those systems with 'Activity' should appear in the Forum sub section.  The main menu does have a link to Virtual Systems.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Icing on the cake for me would be if the 005 had a Fibre input for streaming and was ROON READY. Call it the 006.  
Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review
A company with 0 Ethernet experience (other than a cable), 0 related electronics experience, 0 appropriate measurement equipment to validate is going to crank out a better Ethernet switch? Call me skeptical ... sort of like how I am when I don’t ... 
Questions on using Roon
Also can the Roon system (computer, end point) run using wifi?  I live in an older house and do not have wired LAN in every room. I used a PowerLine adapter to extend my home Ethernet to other rooms in my house via the copper wires in the walls... 
Questions on using Roon
ROON does not need a powerful box to run. I was at one point running 4 ROON Zones with 2 of the zones running DSP in the ROON Core (Convolution files). My cheapo machine handled it perfectly. I have had no issues for years though in the last 2 mon... 
Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review
I figured out today that my network switch or something else on my network is causing ROON to have hiccups. So I am going to get 2 more of these switches. I want to add that I tested my ROON Core last night connected directly to my Ubiquiti swi... 
Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review
In terms of RJ45 connections I doubt there is any difference. However, my one has 2 SFP Fibre Optical connections which was a massive improvement over Ethernet. I compared this to a Sonore microRendu (Ethernet) to a Sonore OpticalRendu (Fibre).  ... 
How to tame a bright system?
If you stream and use ROON or JRiver you can try some DSP via Convolution files. This guy is a pro that can do it remotely for you. https://accuratesound.ca

Is there a modern equivalent of Allison speakers?
My dad had Allison 2's during the 1980's. He still has them in his basement but not used. I saw a photo of the new Polk Audio speaker and it reminded me of my dad's Allison. Legend L800 Floor Standing Tower Speaker | Polk Audio™
