| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers Another vote for ADS. I’ve owned a bunch, and I still have two pairs of L1290s. They are very good speakers. Also, the surrounds are rubber, so no need for replacement.I would also cast a strong vote for vintage ARs. The AR9 and 90 are truly remar... | |

| DAC or no DAC? If yes, which one? You might want to check out the Nuforce Icon Mobile and Icon uDac. I own both and I'm quite impressed. I owned the Beresford. It's good also, but, IMHO, either Nuforce is just as good and less than half the price. | |
| Is there a good 5 disc CD player out there ??? The CAL CL-10 is a very good sounding player, and they go used for under $400. Rotel makes a couple of good changers also, the RCC 945 and 1055.
