Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood?
For $10k, find a pre-owned pair of Dynaudio Confidence 20’s.

Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
Bryston 3B (200w) or 4B (400w) of what ever generation falls into your price bracket.  Probably a 4Bsst is all you will ever need for power and will last forever.

I’d be all over that preowned Jay’s Audio unit if I were in need.    
Borresen Loudspeakers
If you have ever been to AXPONA then you know the listening rooms (hotel rooms) are very far from Idea. You will find almost every single vendor their using all kinds of room treatments and gizmos to counteract the boxy rooms with lots of reflecti... 
Borresen Loudspeakers
I heard the ø1 Silver Supreme Edition at AXPONA about 3 years ago. My jaw hit the floor. Simply astonishing. They filled a large room with full sound and a huge soundstage and even very low frequencies were there. But at $50k + a pair I will have ...

Can you give me your speaker suggestions?
Definitely check out speakers from Dynaudio. Their tweeters are amazing and even their stand mounts dig down deep. I owned Heresy II’s for many years before moving to Dynaudio and never looked back. I would suggest listening to the Special 40, Con...

Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs
Scales are LEAST accurate at the extreme ends of their range. In this case 5g and 0grams. You are better off using a piece of vinyl coming in about 2,5grams. Also unless you are using a Mettler scientific laboratory scale in a temperature controll... 
Integrated amp recommendation
Not much to suggest beyond what has been mentioned here already. I would just reiterate to pick something up on the pre-owned market as there is a ton of savings/value to be had.    
Whole reference system was stolen, now need new speakers on a low budget. Concept 50?
Look for a pre-loved pair of Dynaudio Heritage Specials.
