Pre Amp suggestions for Sonus Faber Olympica III w/ x250.8
@ghdprentice yeah, I wish I could, AR is very expensive over here on the used market, but I will keep an eye out for it. I hope to move up to Amati one day.  
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
I will be testing this soon on a Pass amp as well. So this thread is definitely interesting. What I can say is , Ive noticed quite a substantial benefit when I upgraded PC's for my streamer dac, Preamp and older Integrated Amp.  
Preamplifier sound Quality impact in home theatre bypass
Never really noticed a difference. Used to use it with moon, now use it with a Sudgen preamp. I would need to test it out, but the Sugden is on standby when HT bypass in in use.

Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio)
@zprr let me know if you ever got the chance to compare the xp22 to the 740p? thanks

DAC suggestion for PC
@soix Interesting! ok, I think step 1 for now, is the amp, as its my weakest link I have to imagine. Then speakers (which I had to do anyway, bringing the current ones to main floor for tv room) , then a streamer. Sad part is though... maybe I sho... 
DAC suggestion for PC
Any Streamer suggestions? for tidal ? I just liked using my pc because its easy for me to open the app and change songs, etc while working.  So I guess getting the CXA61 seems like a good idea DAC wise?  
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
@bigkidz Which preamp and amp are you using and for which model SF speaker? thanks  
Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s?
weird, I was there, a bit tight on time sadly, but I didn't seem them at the show.   
Arrows on cables.
hmm, I guess I connected my speaker wire properly, they at tellerium Q, so the arrow goes from integrated amp to the speakers. 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
