Lumin Streamer as Preamp
ChuckThanks.  I have mine into an integrated as well. I think I've read somewhere about it being best on the upper volume range.  Thanks  
Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3
Thanks again, George. I do know that my ARC does not increase/decrease W according to impedance/ohms.  I should have my Sasha's here in the next week or so.  It will be quite the comparison; going from very efficient and quite easy Focal 1027S to ... 
Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3
How can you really tell how much current an amp has.  All that is published is the watts, typically.  I know "not all watts are the same" - which I've always interpreted as some have more current/guts than others...  Can anyone point me to a layma... 
Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3

Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3
ricred1,Thanks for the feedback. I think there was/is (I’ve heard the Sophia 3s are discontinued at a local dealer in PHX), a ~$10k gap. To me the Sashas (2) were worth the $18k jump from the Sabrinas. I’m trying to figure out if the Sophia 3 is c...

Recommendations? 2-Channel Audio System Speaker Cables and RCA Connects and Amp Power Cord
Thanks all for the comments.  I think thecableco might be the way to go.  Sounds like I can't go wrong there.  I agree the 5% is a good investment in not having to guess/buy/sell, repeat.

Enthusiast's Review A/B Focal Sopra 2 and Electra 1028be (II)
Thanks for the replies and support.  Correct, this is just my experience, preference, and opinion. Any other opinion is equally valid.  I thought I'd post just in case others don't have the luxury of A/B long-listening session with these.
