Great news Ed - Thanks for the post. We're in a lucky time where there are so many inexpensive hifi toys out there. Not only bargains but good sounding ones. No doubt there'll also be the dogs but I guess that's part of the fun...The search and the discussions on forums.

I recently bought myself a $200 Valab NOS DAC for kicks and grins. I was also hoping to get an alternate sounding (less transparent) to my Marantz CD7 to play poorly recorded CDs. Well, it's not bad at all... Not the CD7 but very nice sounding and not at all veiled or soft. Still early days yet (1 week) but pretty good for a cheap DAC.

Keep up with the good work posting!

I need a beer... So you weren't prepared to discuss what you brought up. That's unfortunate. It sure sounds cool though, "my modified" amp, CD player or preamp...etc. It carries a feeling of certain status.

Posts: 21	Re: MINIWATT....WOW>>WOW>>>WOW Reply #30 - Jul 23^rd, 2009, 11:06am Do you think the MiniWatt would benefit from brass feet and added weight atop the amp? Also, are upgraded interconnects beneficial? I don't want to underestimate the quality of the MiniWatt just because of it's price, but I also question if $100 interconnects are overkill. What are your guys thoughts.

Not unless your current one is malfunctioning. Google search on these subjects can yield detailed answers.

Through the years, I've spent the equivalent price of a small car on my hifi system. I also spend more hours per month enjoying my music than driving a car, so, for me, the hifi is good value. I've got buddies who spend more than $100 in an evening at a bar drinking alcohol - no doubt that's good value for them....so I think a little perspective is in order.

Get them on loan. Try them and if you hear a difference and prefer them, then they're beneficial. Otherwise, they're not....
