Great to see those Onix components - I remember selling quite a few of those when they first came out. Great company to deal with, and great sounding amps 馃憤.
Can鈥檛 go wrong with a Planar 3 either, I wish I鈥檇 kept my lime green one...
May i simply plead the 5th 馃榾 Many here might be familiar with my username, and if not please check out this little website i started decades ago. We're giving away Sony headphones this month within our December 2019 contest.

Every time I see those speakers ....馃グ
I didn't know Vinnie had his own brand now, instead of just being Red Wine Audio. I have an Amphora transportable amp by Vinnie and sold by ALO Audio, but never bought the higher end stuff. I liked the idea of a battery powered amplifier for stability and noise reduction, while using AC in an isolated circuit just to keep it charged. I had a Ray Samuels Audio Nighthawk phono preamp that was fantastic and worked on the same principle.
I see you have Audeze headphones which I think sound great (some of them) but I find my LCD-2 V2 to be too heavy to enjoy - it actually gives me neck pain to wear them for too long. That's why I stuck with HiFiMan headphones instead (and my HD-600 and HD-800s)
Does the Selekt come with the Room Optimization system? If so, what were your experiences setting it up?
Yes - Selekt comes with space optimization.
The setup was done by my LINN dealer and it took about an hour. Measurmemt of the listening room and adding the various materialization of alle the room details took the about half of the time (pretty tricky and edgy room with glass walls, wood, concrete etc.) - My pleasure was just the before and after listening session..... it was amazing!
I've had a lot of audio equipment over the years since the 70's...I'm very satisfied with things as they are at the moment:
Linn Klimax DS3
Linn Klimax 500 Twin power amp
B&W 803D3's
Linn interconnects and speaker cables
Cheers, Al
Great system for listening to hi-res audio!
I have a suggestion to make this system much nicer with minimum cost. Hire an electrician to move the wall outlet directly behind your rack.
Looks are important.

Already done when I put in the dedicated circuit....
Awesome - please post an updated picture.
As with the watches, I am also a fan of the 60s and 70s with hifi equipment. Sony's old technology is very popular with me.
