Weiss , Amarra and Me .
Posted by: AS332 on 12 December 2009
First of all , thank you to all the forum members who have offered their advice over the last few days on the other thread , I decided to start a new thread to let you know how I have been getting on .
At the beginning of the week as the Weiss arrived I had worrying thoughts about how I would sell my lavry and is it wise to be forking out in the region of £2000 just before Christmas . Here we are at the end of the week and the Weiss and the Amarra software are back in the box wrapped up ready to be shipped back to Purite !
Unfortunately as far as the Amarra / Amarra Mini software was concerned , in my system I just could not tell any difference at all .
The annoying thing is that I really wanted to .
First off with the Lavry and then with the Weiss , I played whole tracks , turned the software on and off during tracks , reinstalled the software and even moved the dongle about !
If anyone has any ideas I would be interested to hear them . Maybe I'm just a bit odd .
On to the Weiss DAC2 , lovely bit of kit . Good full and rich sound and very easy to listen to. The only problem is that it is £1800 and as good as it is , and it is good , to me it just highlighted how good the Lavry is for the money.
The lavry has been plugged back in since last night and the sound is fantastic . If the Weiss had been £1000 then I would have had no doubts but in the end I'm still a Yorkshireman and it's a lot of cash .
A couple of hours a Friend brought round a Power-Line and that has made a difference to the sound , I don't think he is getting it back!
Anyway , that is just my own opinion on my system but an interesting week .
