Class A or AB Solid State Integrated Amp for Spendor D9's - Coming from Tubes
I agree as the Gryphon Diablo 300 is my choice to acquire when I decide to replace the VAC/Ayre combination I currently use. 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
I own the Spendor D9 and have listened to the D9.2  The new version has a little different crossover to address the originals tendency to be a little to “revealing” in the highs. I found this trait to actually being the original D9 able to reprodu... 
USB compatability
Please do not misunderstand my statement...  I am not saying it is your cable!  I was using that as an example of how the lack of the proper communication will cause a failure.  I don’t think the phones are capable of the correct communication to ... 
USB compatability
I am no expert but I believe that the first step in the communication is sometimes referred to as a handshake.  Just because the DAC can send its identifier to the phones does not mean the phones are capable of the reverse. Many DACs require a 5vo...

Class A or AB Solid State Integrated Amp for Spendor D9's - Coming from Tubes
Currently using the Ayre VX5/20 175 watts/channel into 8 ohms with my D9s with excellent results. The Ayre AX5/20 integrated should be on you list. 
A new way of adjusting anti skate!
@benjieTotally agree with you post.  Without the setup tools I have acquired including my WallySkater, SmarTractor, and Fozgometer, I would not be near the setup precision that allow my tonearms and cartridges to perform at their peak.   
Acoustic panels: ATS vs GIK
I have used ATS panels with the Guilford upgrade for many years.  Well constructed and beautiful accent to the room.  I have two corner bass traps, 4 - 2’ x 2’ x 2”, 4 - 2’ x 4’ x 2”, 2 - 2’ x 2’ x 4” panels in my 14’ x 16’ x 8’ dedicated room. I ... 
Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"?
Qobuz streamed through Roon on my new Wolf Alpha 3SX has brought digital to a new level in my system.  I agree with Cleeds that it is not replacing my LPs either but there is a great audiophile experience available in streaming today.  
Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable

Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
This continues to be a great post Prof.  I moved from Thiel 2.4 to the Spendor D9 a little over a year ago.  Both the Thiels and the D9 are extended on top but capable of becoming bright...  My system addressed those propensities with a tube pream...
