I've been listening to the SP8's since they got set up about 6 hours ago and my best descriptor at the moment is Linton's on steroids.

Maybe. It may just be confirmation bias, but imaging is better and the lower midrange a bit clearer.

Even if it is all in my head, I like how it looks.

Bought an 11” iPad Air M2 today. I’ve had my last iPad since Obama was still in office.

Yeah mine was basically just being used as an Apple Music machine hooked up to my amp. Now I can like…actually use the iPad as intended. I *think* I can use it as an external screen for my MacBook too, but part of the rationale in buying this was to sell my intel MBP for a Mac Mini or iMac

Going to be some photos here in 6-8 weeks. Finally did it. Linn Selekt DSM ordered. Very nervous about the amount of money I've just spent, but very, very excited.
