| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own Any feedback on speaker wire on the D9.2’s? A pair of Silversmith ribbon wires were connected to them during demo. Are the Spendor’s kind of benign to speaker cables? | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own @avanti1960 nice to hear that you think the D9’s would match well with my Levinson. It does offer plenty of power. When I heard them, they were placed close to 8’ from the back wall which had room treatments. They weren’t also spread very far apar... | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own So, would you say the Spendor’s are more particular about amp matching than other speakers? | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own @photomax that’s a nice system. The XA30.8 has plenty of power for the Spendor’s? | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @jdal I’ve thought about the Purple Heart and the Kleos. There seems to be more reviews/feedback on the Purple Heart versus the Kleos. What makes you think you wouldn’t like the Kleos on the 1210? With the removable headshell why haven’t you tried... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @needfreestuff I think I’ve come to that realization. Kind of hard to fathom when you have a $2800 cartridge. I’d like to keep the replacement in that price range. Looking for options. Please share any suggestions. Thx. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above I use Baerwald but curious if anyone had success with a different approach. On 1200 I had before the Technics overhang gauge did the job but that was not with a Candenza Black. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Also, for the 1200G owners what geometry do you all use to set up your carts. I have a Feickert system and have three choices: Baerwald, Logren or Stevenson. Thx. | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own I had the XA 30.5 which I really liked but it did produce heat in my already warm upstairs room and did not pair well with my Audible Illusions line stage. Always got a hum with those two. No issues like that with the Levinson. Thanks for the feed... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above We’ll, looks like I’m going to stay with my 1200G for now. I’m still considering the Sota and if still available in a few weeks might make a move on it. First, I’m going to try a new cart and hear how that sounds it’s my table and system. I do hav... | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own I was able to demo the Spendor D9.2’s and they were impressive. I get the faster transient thing with this particular speaker. I think they would work well for what I’m seeking right now in my audiophile journey. However, the owner was powering th... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @mijostyn thanks for the feedback on the Sota. You give me a lot to think about. I could try it and if I don’t like it go back to the 120G as others have done. I plan on checking out the Sota today or tomorrow. As far as the SP10, unless I can pic... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Well, like the Sota, the benefit of making a road trip is being able to transport it home and avoid shipping. The buyer is asking $3500 with reasonable offers accepted. Maybe going down a rabbit hole with this one. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @pani i read your previous post about 1200G vs. SP10 mk2. I’m in Houston now and see one on Craigs with an SME arm. Comes with a nice custom plinth. Looks like it can accommodate a second arm. The price for this one is more than $1,000 lower than ... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Hey Chakster, I was actually looking at those Zu cables this week. They seem reasonably priced and I like the return policy. Speaking of return policy, I’m probably going to order a cart from Music Direct because I can return/exchange a cart if I ... |
