Decoupling for Cornwall IV's
@michaelc2020 I also heard about these isolation pads through Stereophile, I believe it was for the Volti Razz review. Thank you for the compliment on the system, I'm trying to keep it simple. @jbhiller I was using these with CW IV. I actually str... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
@ozzy62 After installing the speaker bars, I immediately noticed the midrange was clearer, voices more 3D. One thing I noticed, however, was that bass seemed like it had diminished significantly--that was until I turned on my subwoofer. I’m not su... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
My CW IV are 4’ from the sidewalls, the tweeter is 32" from the back wall and my ears are 9’8’ from the tweeters. I have a slight toe-in as well. I’ve also done a couple tweaks: 1) I’ve placed dynamat on the horns and woofer cage.2) I placed the s... 
PS Audio Perfectwave vs Directstream DAC
I've owned both, the PerfectWave is nowhere near the level of performance of the DirectStream.  
Klipsch Cornwall IV
For those with CW IV, how far from the speakers are you sitting?  My speakers are 9'8" from my ears.  
Klipsch Cornwall IV
My Cornwall experience:I went from Harbeth SHL5+ to Klipsch Forte III and ultimately to Cornwall IV. Going from the Harbeth to the Forte III, I immediately appreciated the increase in dynamics and having way more amplifier choices (in my experienc... 
Decoupling for Cornwall IV's
I'm currently using six of these (three per speaker) and they definitely tightened the bass. They also raise the tweeters by 2".https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075MMT68C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1For short money, it wa... 
Uptone EtherRegen or Gigafoil v4???
I'm an Eno Ag user as well, it replaced an etherRegen. In the end I found the Eno Ag to sound better in my system and since it's a passive device I was able to eliminate an LPS. The Gigafoil works much like using two FMCs with a short run of fiber... 
Looking for my Final Pair!!
If noise is a concern, you should check out the Audio Note Cobra integrated. I'm using the Cobra with CW IV speakers, it's dead quiet (no hum and barely any idle hiss). As an added bonus, the amp has an integrated DAC based on the Philips TDA 1543...

Another vote for Brent Jessee. Great service, always happy to answer questions.  
Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp
@cal3713 The sound is great, the video is a little dicey at times but the Dead playing Fire on the Mountain at the base of the great pyramids is epic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFYIsvcspmQ 
Supratek Owners Thread
@gryphongryph Does your Cabernet have a mute switch and, if so, is it active on the 6SN7 circuit?If you answered "yes" to these questions, you can flip the mute switch prior to powering off any equipment and you'll avoid the thumping sound.  
How loud are you typically listening?
I’m in that same 75 to 80dB range, testing with dB meter on my iPhone.I've noticed that as I've grown older, I don't appreciate loud music any longer.  
What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads?
Things that frustrate me about for sale ads: 1) stock photos on any item, especially an expensive item, with a note that reads: pictures to be added later or available on request. 2) Not being able to answer rudimentary questions: age, hours on tu... 
Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude?
My favorite is when I make a reasonable offer (within 10% of asking price), that offer is completely ignored and then a month or two later they sell the item for 30+% less than their original asking price.
