Oscilloscopes - what specs to look for?


Hi,

I'm gonna get me an oscilloscope. I'm going to use it to mainly fiddle with home audio equipment, like hifi amps, and perhaps try to fix this and that other electrical appliance. 

What should I make sure I've got covered?

Some say 50Mhz is good, others 100Mhz. I've also realized memory depth is important, but what is enough? I see oscilloscopes can easily top the overall price of my hifi system if I'd really want to.

25 years ago when I was a digital design engineer, Tektronix and Lecroy were the big players in scopes. The techs in the lab preferred the Lecroys for scopes and the Teks for signal analyzers, as I recall. I have no idea if that still the case now all these years later, however.
