My Schumann Generator has Arrived
@millercarbon  I will be adding a couple more in my listening room and now my wife wants one in the bedroom. I guess we will be trying out all of the potential benefits. 
Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you?
My wife has little interest in my audio hobby, so I usually don’t get into the details when I am upgrading or installing a tweak. Last week the Isoacoustics isolation feet I ordered arrived while she was at work. I installed them immediately and g... 
Isoacoustics Gaia III for Focal Aria 936s my next tweak?
Thanks @millercarbon, I think I’m going to pass through the Gaia first. I can always use them on my second system if I upgrade to the Townshends later.

Thank you for that information tump350! I appreciate you sharing your experience. 
What do you have on order RIGHT NOW.
Schumann resonator. I’m going to give it a shot. 
Where does it end?
It ends where you can see the copper. For $4300, maybe gold? 
Tube Amp in Snowpiercer

SQ vs. Music
I belong to a group on Facebook that focuses on audiophile recordings. Members suggest recordings that have terrific sound. When I first joined the group, I bought several recordings based on the suggestions. Maybe it wasn’t the genre I usually li... 
Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
I have owned a pair of Klipsch RP-5000 and I have auditioned the Forte IIIs. I found them both to be hard to listen to for long periods of time. The La Scalas I auditioned had a nice airy sound to them, but the sound stage and imaging were lacking...

looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range
+1 for Hegel H390. It has a very good DAC onboard as an added bonus. 
A deeper more holographic soundstage.
Erik_squires and millercarbon both mentioned elements that improved my soundstage depth the most. Treat the area in the dimension you are trying to improve. Front and back wall treatments will improve the depth of your sound stage. The engineer at... 
How old are you?
59. Got the bug in 80. Started with a Fisher stack. In 84 upgraded to HK integrated with Infinity Kappa 7s.  Got back in in 2018 and I’ve had three sets of gear since. Now have Hegel H390 and Focal Aria 936s. Happy camper here.
