Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
Define "back in the day", please. When are you talking about, archison? 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
I have a very good integrated. That being said, I think the very best will be high quality separates. If you want the most value for your dollar, that likely will be a single component. If you're not worried about the budget, that's different. L. 
What cable is best?
I own both versions. They're very close, although the Corona is still very new. When I bought the Red Wave a year or so ago, I was amazed. 
What cable is best?

have you ever bought stereo without listening first
I was able to listen to my first pair of good speakers before I bought them. Almost everything else, the opposite was true. The integrated amp was the biggest leap for me, probably due in part to it being a big leap money-wise as well. No regrets. 
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
Yes, contrary to one of the posts above. If a company builds a crappy product and sells it for a high price with ridiculous claims, that’s one level, and should eventually sort itself out in the free market. If an overseas company builds an out an... 
Unreal prices
I had a lot of fun doing it, and learned some things. I assumed you had a bit of knowledge on the subject when you mentioned the 'current limiting device'. You have a great receiver, but I'm biased towards the x50 series. All the best.

junkman, I actually recapped my SX-750 with online help. Took forever, due to the process, but turned out great. All with the help of a few amazing folks in the Pioneer subforum at AudioKarma.
