a very good power cord is a Must.
@audioman58 Which pc’s have your brother tried with the Diablo? Looking for a great power cord for my D300.
Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's
HI audio friends,
Considering decluttering my main system and moving from pre and power to a high end integrated. I currently have the Coda Continuum power amp, LTA reference 2 preamp, hifi rose streamer and Wilson Sabrina's.
Cabling, set up and all the tedium of pre and power feels unnecessary when i consider some of the excellent integrated options available. I have always been impressed by BAT engineering and their vk 80i has had some great reviews, but I don't think the 55w is enough for the wilsons. The vk 3500 would definitely have enough grunt, but i'm curious what everyone thinks and am open to other options.
Thoughts?

I have the Wilson Sabrina and drive them with Pass Labs XA30.8 Class A amp / Pass Labs XP12 linestage combo. The sound is exactly what you describe as your goal - luscious mids, refined top end, full deep bass. If you have a large room, the XA60.8 mono block amps should be more than enough. Pass Labs gear (especially their Class A amps) and Wilson speakers have excellent synergy.

The Mark Levison 5805 250 W/ch 4 Ohms dual mono intrgrated. Impeccably designed and built, fully specced analog, mm/mc phono, and digital including 32/384, 11.2 mbits/sec DSD and MQA. At 62 lbs it lacks for nothing on the front end or power amp and sounds terrific. Listing for $10,500 it's a bit over your $9,000 budget, but every dollar is accounted for, and deals have been known to be made. It is a fantastic match for your Sabrinas in every way. |
62lbs with all that 💩 in it? Lacks for nothing?
And you know this how? Let me guess…by looking at specs… |
