How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC
  jl35 no so much 'older' or 'personal preference' but rather non audiophile cost constraint (I just don't want to spend crazy, ehem I mean 'auidophile' money). Judging the Oppo 103 as transport, SACD and DAC: name alternatives in the below $400... 
How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC
  simao I have the Oppo 103 player. Wondering how the built in DAC compares to say a Modi 3+ (or the M1). I.e. use the Oppo as transport with one of those external DAC, or use the DAC in the Oppo.

mapman that is GREAT information. Thank you VERY much. I think I will KEEP the Modi 3+ (where it is now, in my 2nd 'office' system, connected via LONG usb C to my laptop) for practical reasons (small, USB C), and will ADD the M1 (bought for under ...

My recone/refoam friend is attempting rebuild. Will likely end up with foam reversed (sticking out like most drivers, nut inverse like original), but try original orientation first. Supplier of the foam indicates in description what it can be done...

yogiboy, I need to replace the busted (foam, and broke voice coil leads) midrange Peerless KO40-MRF 8 Ohm. Not the Kef woofer (seems to work fine).

kr4, thank you very much. No need to find 8 ohm version (ebay has a 4 ohm refoamed listed).  Any suggestion for good replacement if I don't find exact match?    
Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers?
Sounds like the IRS are still competing well with modern speakers. I would have guessed that they had fallen behind due to decades in material (and electronics) development).     
Plasma Tweeters - Do they still exist?
Thanks. Being used so rarely, the very obvious advantages must be shadowed by overwhelming disadvantages.     
Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers?
I mean the 'big' system Infinity Reference Standard IRS.   
The Highest - Suprema
  @jbthurston : I actually LIKED that (smooth, relaxed, ’easy’), and pointed it out to Livio during our conversation, and he confirmed that it very well fits the overall (and traditional) Sonu faber sound philosophy. I later went back and forth b...
