Why Transparent Cable? for Wilsons.... options?
What version of super do you have?Xl, MM1 or MM2If you are at XL then ultram MM2 will be a very nice upgrade. My Ultra costs me almost as much as the ML Alscents they are connected to but nothing else floated my boat as much as the Transparent. 
Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so..
Hce4Get your dealer to loan you those top end transparent cables. Or at least try the Ultra MM2 or above.

I don't have the A5 but I did compare the A3 to the A308cd and prefered the A308cd. The A5 is supposed to be comparable if not better then the A308.

SSoundisntmusic,I have a great dealer located locally. I started YEARS ago with music link and gradually used their upgrade program to end up with the Ultra I have now. I am still waiting for the details on what the upgrades will cost. I would rea...

Bmdduck,Shoot for something used, maybe AR CDMKII or the like. 
Transparent MM2
Thanks Soundisntmusic for the update. I happen to have all UtlraMM in my system I really could not afford to upgrade to the Ref. Now I may be able to swing the upcharge to upgrade to MM2 though. It won't be cheap, but a lot less then upgrading to Ref

I would dedicate the 5k to a single box solution... That is if everything downstream is up to task. What is the rest of your system though? 
Choice on a $3,000 to $5,000 SS amp
Classe makes a fine amp for 5k 
Premium guitar cables? Do they exist?
I have the AP cable. It is good but a PITA... the plastic jacket is very stiff. 
Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators
Well I picked some up and they work very nicely. The sonic improvements where very noticable. I use Transparent UltraMM bi-wire and didn't really think they would do much more then ease my cable "mess" behind the rack but I was pleasently surprised.
