May be getting a bit off the original question, but I'm driving my Cornwalls with a pair of Marantz Model 9's. I've tried both settings (referred to as 70 watts and triode on the amps). This may just be a matter of personal preference, but I've had them set to 'triode' for some time now. Just find the sound to be more pleasing. The only other amp I've used is a Marantz Model 15 - and it wasn't really much of a contest.

If you decide to try the Heavyfeet, please let us know how they work out. Have you tried any of the other Mapleshade products, speaker wire, etc?

Thanks for your input. I relayed a few questions to PS Audio and got a response from Paul McGowan. I've pretty much decided to go with the P500 Power Plant and will add an xStream power cable. Already have a power port - which did make a positive (albeit subtle) difference in my system. Probably will wait until after the first of the year as I believe some minor cosmetic changes to the plant are in the offing. Doubt I'll ever want to part with my vintage electronics, but wish I had a better space situation so I could go with the Khorns.

I haven't kept my back issues of Stereophile - and can't seem to get at the information on their website. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'll probably go with PS Audio P500 Power Plant. That will take care of protecting the electronics, cleaning the AC and stabilizing the voltage. Just waiting to here back from them with a couple questions. Thanks for your input!

I've turned back the clock (or maybe haven't let it advance)as to my equipment. I'm using vintage tube gear - Marantz Model 9 amps, Model 7 preamp and a 10B tuner. I did give in and added a Sony SACD player. I'm really happy with my Cornwalls, although I'd go with Khorns if I had a second corner available. I have read about the PS power plants - but am reluctant to make a fairly large investment if the sound is not going to improve.

Thanks - checked out your profile - saw you have the HTPS7000. Aside from the protection aspect, do you hear any difference in the sound?

I'm new to the forum. I have a pair of Cornwalls ("X" in the serial numbers - 1982??). I've been looking at power conditioners - initially my intent was just to protect my electronics. I have not heard a system with one of these units in place (looking at Monster 5100 or 7000). Has anyone had any experience in this area? Am I going to hear any difference in sound quality?
