Comparison of $11,000 - $15,000 reference speakers
The Sonus are to the warmish side of neutral, very sweet sounding, require some juice to come alive but a very magical mid range sound.The Talons are more dynamic, deeper bass, clearer sounding, can play real loud, have better details but not as s... 
Richard Gray's 400 Pro = Emperor's New Clothes??
My buddy also has one and we could not hear any difference in his two systems either. Maybe we are all hard of hearing.Happy Listening. 
ARC and Audience: Perfect Together?
For the used prices, you can mostly try and resell for around what you paid for the Audience cables and cords. I tried the Audience ICs, digital cable and power cords. I found the power cords to have a slight edge in the upper mids, barely noticab... 
I fell victim to a scam

Wavelength Cosecant or TwinDAC+ or ???
I had the Wavelength Cosecant DAC in my system but it was out performed by the Audio Logic, Chord and a few others in the same price range. It lacked the dynamics and deep base of the other units I compared it to.Happy Listening.

Threshold SA/3 to Pass Labs X250 comparison?
Teajay is correct. The X-250 is one of the best amps for the used prices (since the .5 was developed, the X-250 prices have dropped even more) You can buy a used X-250 and resell it for what you bought it for. It works great with tube and SS pream... 
should I stay with Audio Research LS25 ?
To answer your question, NO !Make sure you have a good power cord for the ARC and good tubes and enjoy it. 
BAT VK-30 vs. VK-5i
