Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
@deep_333 “forum stock”. That’s rich. No, not a dealer. Just a happy owner of a pair of Wilson Sabrinas. Not sure why it’s surprising to you that a top notch speaker requires world class electronics. Back in late 90s I walked into Innovative Aud... 
Clock vs Streamer advice
I wouldn’t bother with the Bricasti streamer. Their DACs are very good though.  Depending on your budget, you can pickup a used Lumin U1 or U2 (the big boy vetsion, not the mini). Or look for a used Aurender N200. With a good USB cable into the Br...

Yeah me too. I just do the overkill most of the time lol  
Audioquest Dragon power cable.
@tattooedtrackman cool. However, and I don’t mean to undermine your decision, the Ref6SE consumes 130w. That’s quite a bit. Most solid state amps consume less power. In example, Simaudio Moon 861 top of their line 300w/ch amplifier ($22,000) consu...

@tattooedtrackman the HC version. Without a doubt. The Ref6SE with its pretty hefty power supply and tubes can benefit from a larger gauge power cable.
