About the cheapest cable elevators (for those with empty pockets)
I'm afraid someone is going to tell me they resonate like foam in a Poang chair.

What are important features in a listening chair
New listening chair arrived, it's a reupholstered and spruced up Room and Board rocker, spent ~2 hours in it last night and have yet to do an a/b comparison with the Poang, partly bc the new chair is way too comfy, partly because I feel no vibrati... 
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC upgrade to DSD?
cal3713 - talk about striking a chord!  The first response I got when I posted on the Thiel Users thread was an enthusiastic "upgrade your crossovers!"  Tom Thiel (Jim's brother), Beetlemania, a couple other happy modders are fine tuning the desig... 
AudioQuest Niagara 1000
Any comparisons between the 1000 and 1200?  There looks to be about $500 difference (used 1000 vs new 1200), I don't need the extra high current capability now, is there any other functional/design difference?  What about outcome in SQ? 
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC upgrade to DSD?
Lots of good advice, thanks all.  About a year ago, after putting this first system together, I came up with the following long term plan, based in part on other posts and responses and reviews etc, with the goal being to slowly improve SQ altoget...

Parasound ZM-2350 - anybody tried this in their two channel system?
What piqued my interest is the good reviews and the fact it could be a good driver for my Thiel CS-2.3s, a tough load.  It also provides some flexibility with sub management which could be fun to experiment with.  Another fun feature is the speake... 
upgrade from Devore Nines
Thanks mindlessminion that’s exactly where I seemed to be headed.   
Dumped the rack
Oranges and apples, maybe - I don't have a TT, digital only, I have a cheap media table I used as a rack, thought the tube amp was already well isolated, but my results were like yours, great improvement when I removed the table and put things on ... 
upgrade from Devore Nines
Don't you hate lack of responses?  I can't help you with your question, but as someone who has the Devore Nines in their sights as a next speaker to try (in about a year), I am curious what got you to this speaker and also would you consider the O... 
Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement
Speaker placement and first reflection points - of course.  Isolating the tube amp was huge for me.  Following many of the Jim Smith/Getting Better Sound recommendations also very helpful, for me the biggest was getting rid of the rack on the fron...

Btw the foam in the Poang cushion does resonate.  Not sure what frequency but can feel it when spls get to about 90dB.  I can feel it with my hand.
