| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own My D9s came in the premium limited edition Ebony finish. They look amazing. Quite a narrow speaker but very tall. The footprint on the floor is smaller than many of the wide speakers though. My preference. If you buy them new your Spendors will ta... | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own I don’t think so?This is my second system. In a remote area where I had concerns about reliable Internet. I added a turntable station as a result. Quite enjoy the sound. But some digital streaming (started with SONOS) sounded “bright” to me when c... | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own Totally. The previous amp I tried was a Bryston 4BSST2 which was a great party amp with tons of power. But at lower volumes it had a brightness that I did not like. The Pass XA30.8 was about the fifth amp I tried and was an instant “this will work... | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own I will echo some of the points here as well.I did some serial box swapping and speaker testing (below and above my budget) and settled on the following (my room is very similar sized to your yours):Linn Akurate streamer, Rega TT, Parasound JC3+ ph... | |

You will receive a lot of different opinions that will more or less justify the various responders own buying decisions. The path they chose or their research effort might differ from y... | |

| Fern and Roby Montrose TT anyone? There are some glowing reviews online.I think the issue is (might be?) that while these products look so cool you have to wonder if the sound quality is there? The industrial steampunk look is fun but the line is there for overdoing it?But then ag... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? I was a kid in 1970s South Africa. Records were extremely expensive. The first disc I purchased was a used copy of the Slade album called Sladest: mind blown... | |
| Phono stage hum - Rega Aria I was cursing my Aria for a hum. I tried moving a few things around on the rack and then twisted the cables from the P6 table and the hum went away completely... | |
| Solid State Phono Preamp Suggestions $3k-$4k I just upgraded to the Parasound JC3+ from the Rega Aria. So far quite impressed... | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? For a room that size there are a lot of options. This is of course a very personal thing. I find the Wilsons to be somewhat forward and clinical sounding. The other thing is that the industrial design can be a turnoff for some. I have a lot of woo... | |
| Streamer Software @jksec,Roon has a lot of great features that the other software platforms lack. Roon radio is a killer feature. If you enjoy reading the liner notes on a vinyl record cover then you will like Roon.Roon is complicated. It is built to serve a ton of... | |

| Streamer Software I don’t find Roon to be rock steady so I also use the native Kazoo app on my Linn DSM systems. Like most of these software titles they just give you a way to browse Radio TuneIn stations, Tidal, Qobuz, etc, plus access to your own library (assumin... |
