Anyone with experience with Spendor D9's?
@jjss49 ,Would definitely love to see the new pics.I have read in a speaker setup guide somewhere (don't recollect where exactly) that the distance of a speaker from front wall and side wall should never be the same. Other posters can correct me. ... 
Anyone with experience with Spendor D9's?
Yes @jjss49 , I commented on your system page and you never responded :-)I have treated all the four corners of my room with bass traps. How far from the walls, were the D48Rs when they were in your room? I am surprised that they overloaded your r...

Genalex Gold Lion 12AX7 - different grades?
I think I have seen the online seller's site you are referencing to. Not sure that the grades mean. But I moved from Genalex Gold Lion to Psvane for my 12AU7 requirements. I suggest you reach out to Viva tubes since they have both and find out the...

Music storage for best possible playback
Thank You @gulpson and @fuzztone@fuzztone,Would you know if the Oppo USP-205 will be able to stream music from a portable SSD stored somewhere on the network? What software is needed to do that? BTW, Spotify still lacks compared to Qobuz, no doubt...

Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
I am shocked and sad to hear about Al. Al is my go to teacher for anything audio. A thorough gentleman and guide on this forum. I pray for a miracle and will keep him and Margaret in my thoughts.  
Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times
Terry,That was VERY helpful feedback on the sound comparing the 2 DACs. This helps a potential customer make a decision on which route he/she has to go. Good to know that these < $6k DACs are achieving performance of mega $$$$$ DACs. As a revie...
