You could get an MC-12 for less than $3K, which would be a major upgrade while preserving everything you like about the DC-1 for movies. The MC-12 comes in many different configurations, and you'd have to get a v2.0 or earlier to get in under the $3K, but having owned the DC-1, MC-1 and now the MC-12, I'd say it's well worth it. I love both music and movies out of my system.
Should I repair or replace Lexicon DC-1?
My Lexicon DC-1 has developed a loud buzz on only the front main speakers. I've swapped some cables around and even replaced the unit with my old Denon PRE1000 (2 channel) so now I'm wondering if I should repair or replace the unit. I see they're around $400-$600 used and Lexicon wants me to ship it to them so they can repair it @ $425 flat fee. Is it worth it or should I just start shopping for a replacement? If I replace it, I might be willing to spend close to $3,000 (new or used) but would prefer less.
Another option is to have it repaired elsewhere (local to Buffalo, NY) but how do I find someone to do that?
I am more interested in good 2 channel music but like to have the 5.1 channel surround for movies. I am not really interested in using a reciever. Thanks.
