Samuelg,
We must have been shopping at the same audio store, The Analog Room, as I have a system that is quite similar to yours. I too am waiting for the Wavestream Phonostage which I hope shows up later this week. I am #4 on the waiting list. I would like to know what you have placed under your Opus speakers to isolate them from the carpet. My Opus speakers, with the same wood finish, are on a sisal carpet.
