worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's?
No clue what you Guys are talking about. I run CW4's with a 500W Orchard Audio Ultra Amplifier and easily plumb the depths at around 30Hz (with in room gain/no eq bass boost applied of course). I definitely do not need Subwoofers in my rig.  I ca... 
Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!!
I2S for SACD/DSD playback, Toslink for all things PCM followed by good ‘ole S/PDIF.  
How can a PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC enhance my system?
I ran my my PSA DAC with a Sony UBP-X1000ES with a Chinese HDMI to HDMI I2S adapter so it would decode the SACD Layer of any disc or DSD file. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203496436505    
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
Orchard Audio Ultra for big power requirements. See Tom Martin’s TAS Preview. Orchard Audio Ultra Amplifier TAS Review For lower power requirements. The little monoblocks that Dick Olsher reviewed in TAS. Orchard Audio Monoblocks TAS Review    
Pink Floyd’s brand new song
It’s just awesome to see/hear Nick Mason and David Gilmour at it again since Endless River. They were smart enough to let to get a Ukrainian Artist to sing the lyrics. Pink Floyd as everyone here knows is also famous for soundtracks and that’s exa... 
Life of KT 150 Tubes
@vishu I had a Jolida 3502p Amplifier and immediately installed cryo’d by Upscale Audio in L.A. 4x KT150’s and they were fine for 8 months. I sold the Amp only to finance the hand building of 6 Orchard Audio Amplifier modules. The current owner h... 
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
Having just bought 2nd hand Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. It’s my “Forever Speakers”. There were many options based on the size of my room and my fortunate experience to get on loan several bookshelf Speakers plus my ugly yet amazing sounding Open Baffle... 
Improvement in Musicality for home theater system
@maxwave I have disagree with you on the AV Preamp philosophy. I used to run a BAT VK50-SE Preamp into my Orchard Audio Ultra Amplifiers (currently only for L & R duty). Will be buying more modules soon for the C, LS, RS soon. With the modifi... 
Unofficial Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra Amplifier Owners
What "Corp". The Orchard just sounds better than the rest. Read Dick Olsher’s TAS review and Tom Martin of TAS on YouTube. Don’t trust my opinion. I’m a Schill for the Company.    
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
Class D Orchard Audio Ultra Amplifier. No other will do for me.   
No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
I just returned my friends KEF R3’s and in turn he lent me a pair of PMC TB2’s while I wait to payoff the Gentleman with the Cornwall IV’s and pick them up in 3 weeks. Anyone who says nearfield Studio Monitors can’t be repurposed as Home Speakers... 
No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
@thejeenyus54 I'm glad I'm not the only that "feels the way I do". I'll bring the Single Malt.  
No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
@gkr7007  I’ve seen all the modification videos.  Line the cabinet with “No Res” (I gotta guy who has a poop ton of it) Line the Horn backs with Dynamat Extreme (any auto parts store it’s cheaper than Amazon) SoniCaps (I actually have some ... 
Who actually heard the Infinity IRS?
@barts  The late Corydon Johnson rebuilt the EMITS and EMIM’s. Chris spec’d new Woofers from Parts Express and I believe did some Mods to eliminate the “Servo” (accelerometer) part of the system. Paul did a Video on them about a year or so ago. ... 
No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
Thanks everyone for your words of Wisdom (not joking actually). I had a friend over this afternoon (the owner of the R3’s actually). He couldn’t believe how much Bass the Speakers were generating. I put a very basic EQ profile into the miniDSP as ...
