I recently acquired a used, but excellent, Herron VTSP 3/A 360 preamp. It's affect was startling in its improvement on how my system sounds. I also drive Tannoys with tube amps, SET 300B and the 3C24 amp that is amazing in spite of it's supposedl... 
Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results?
A big plus one on JBH's comment. A bit of your talent and equipment would've come in handy in my audio journey! Best regards, Dan  
The hunt is over
zavato,  I too love your system. I am happy to report that I too, have reached the point  of great appreciation of what  my system provides for me on a daily basis. Just keeping aging equipment up to par is enough for me, though I have made some ... 
Klipsch Heresy Is compared to IIIs. Thanks for opinions.
An 87 year old friend bought a beautiful pair of the first variety of Heresey's, did some rewiring on them, and they sounded beautiful, very enjoyable to listen to. He said when he first got them, they sounded too bright, but whatever he did to t...

Why not use a piece of silver wire instead of a jumper cable?
I use two pair of 12 gauge solid silver, one for each amplifier, and I'm very happy with it. Sure saves time and energy when I change amps. When I bought them from Tempo Electric, silver was still relatively cheap, same for the teflon outer insula...
