| Revox Agora B Interesting find in the used market. Found a shop that will repair my AGORA B. They estimate $600 - $800 to repair the speaker. Is the speaker worth investing that much into a repair? Thanks! Yes!!! you will be surprised how good these are for the money invested. | |
| Does an upgrade make sense? Chord DAC's are quite good and there are a few at various prices that should be fine for your budget range. | |
| Does an upgrade make sense? Assuming you've done what you can, or are willing, to address room acoustic then I also would say a DAC should be your next consideration. And I'd look at spending as much as you can, I don't think a <$1000 DAC is going to make much difference ... | |
| Full range stand mounted speakers mitch2 you beet me to it for a vintage suggestion. One of the only full range stand mount speakers i know of that actual do full range are the big A/D/S stand mounts. I have L910's and they go well into the 20HZ range. maybe not as detailed as m... | |

| Oracle CD2500 MKI there is a Mk2 for sale asking price is $2700 so i think the $2000 mentioned is probably close to max for an excellent mk1. note it will be limited to CD only and your probably going to want to add an outboard DAC as that's getting long in the too... | |

| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Should sound nice, but I will say you're buying 225wpc more power than you need with Klipsch speakers. If you can exchange the int250 for one of the lower powered ones. Specifically one of the Class A amps, as class A amps IMO sound better with K... | |
| What record weight for Rega RP10 Rega spent a huge amount of time reducing weight and optimizing the table for light weight to reduce resonance. From my experience when you add weight you take away from sound quality. This goes for what the player is sitting on as well. you do no... | |
| Need suggestions for speaker platforms - Klipsch Forte IIs on marble floor I second the iso acoustics stuff but i would look at the GIA's as they will screw into the existing spike locations. | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? You mean audio advertising mags? | |
