Upgrade from B&O system to ? for large bright room
I like my B&O based Rowland model 102 but suffer from similar problem - a tall room (26' in the highest point) with a lot of echo. I prepared 12 double density fiberglass panels to hang on the wall opposite to speakers. These panels work prett... 
What should I sell these for used here? Buyers?
"How in the heck does a posting like this get through?"Justlisten, I wonder myself.

Steakster, thank you. Your experience, most likely greater than mine, is very valuable showing practical cases. I often see technical merits in audio but audio seems to be like black magic. Your practical experience gives many people a chance to i... 
Repair or Replace ???
Czarivey, you might be right - my brother has vertical Technics turntable that works flawlessly for about 40 years. 
Repair or Replace ???
Perhaps it is worth fixing if you enjoyed the sound? I had Cambridge Audio player that over years lost most of the felt on the ring that squeezes CD down. Something like that should be easy to fix. Recently my MacMini stopped reading CDs. Using "c...

Thanks Jim. I installed them in the first two positions but I have to measure resistance of the ground. 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Rbrowne - I envy you. I have Rruga CD and listen to it often. There are world class performers coming to my small village (Joey DeFrancesco, John Mayall, Bill Frisell, Taj Mahal) but not often enough. 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Taj Mahal, few months ago - what a class! 
Tord Gustavsen's Extended Circle is Extraordinary
Thank you for recommendation. I have Ground, Being There and Changing Places. This trio is wonderful - I will definitely check Extended Circle. 
Lossless Files Vs CD's
I absolutely agree with Al (as usual). Good ripping program can be set to read the same sector forever until checksum is valid. If anything, copy is better than original, becoming exact studio data while CDP often interpolates.In addition to often...

Zavato, It is very difficult to recommend particular cable because it is not only system dependent but also sensitive to amount of electrical noise present. The difference between cables is caused by the jitter of digital signal that converts basi...
