DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
gochurchgo :  you sure sound like you have an axe to grind against Wilson.  What is your problem? 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
You say your experience was 'truly magical?"Your post reads like an advertisement. Tell us the truth, are you working for the company?  Magic invokes the powers of the supernatural. Is that what CPT is?  Kind of spooky.  Why don't they rename them... 
Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter?

ARC GS150 design error
Get real. Analogue meters are inherently cosmetic at best when measuring instantaneous power output. I find your post very specious, unfairly maligns ARC in your title and in your feeble post.  
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
I believe in high quality cables but not buying into the $10K+ price point some companies are marketing.  Some people obviously have too much money and too little brains.
