Is it real or just my imagination?
Doesn't really matter if it's real or not- you're enjoying the music, right? 
How would you feel
OK, I found the amp, LSA statement. I remember this amp sort of, and I recall wondering back then why it cost so much. Supposedly the amp back in the day had a list of $11,500 thus the $9,000 price looked like a real steal. But if they can bring i... 
How would you feel
Well, if I liked the amp enough to spend $9,000, then I would still like the amp. I wouldn't like what I paid for it though, but that's two years after the factMakes you wonder about the value of high end gear 
Weiss is so underrated
That more money into a system equals better sound 
Conrad Johnson vs. McInosh....
actually, neither. I've owned CJ gear, and a buddy has Mac. For tubed, Rogue gets my vote, and for solid state, Pass. I also quite like Sim.

"But all things being equal, it goes without saying that if we replace all the parts inside the Weiss with more premium parts then the sound would be even better."Actually, I think there is no evidence, one way or another, about that at all. Premi... 
Weiss is so underrated
If I had something that offered "world class device that far surpasses its cost in performance" I'd be giddy and happy, not confounded why I couldn't spend more $ and be even happier 
Weiss is so underrated
"I was surprised to learn that Weiss 202 can compete even with $30,000+ DACs."Why? 
Weiss is so underrated
What's thepoint of this thread? The OP wants to spend more $ but is conflicted because the Weiss, which runs nearly 8 large, is the cheapest bit in his system, and although he likes it best seems to need a more costly dac to balance out his system...
