Nice...be careful if you ever demo TA Ref XL's...it will ruin your day! They are mind boggling good with Sasha's and ARC Ref75, I can tell you that much. One day I will buy them...

I hear you Marc. As you know, I demo'd ref XL speaker cables in my system last summer. I bought 2 pairs balanced ref XL interconnects but decided to pick up the speaker cables down the road. Now, a year later, I'm still running with Ultra speaker cables. System sounds amazingly good but I still can't shake the aural memory of how darn good those speaker cables are. I have to remain on the sidelines as we are looking at new homes.

I use the Transparent Super MM2 and am very happy with it. I believe there are diminishing returns with cable and would rather spend the saving on better equipment - or a new car

The sasha 2 that i heard were quite new 100 hrs i think, and were driven first by dagostion stereo amp with transparent cabling(montreal show 2014)and second time also with transparent cabling but with luxman amp
all was to thin sounding and the singer was more 2d than 3d sounding

the best that i heard the sasha 1 was at coup de foudre audio, driven with complete spectral 30ss,260 amp and lafontaine audio source and mit spectral cabling

The best that i heard sasha were always driven with mit, more organic, more 3d, and moegoosebump

by the i love them both and will surly buy the serie 2 to replace my belove apogee

As an Apogee owner myself I'd recommend listening to Vivid Audio speakers as well, along with the Alexia.

I haven't yet heard the Sasha 2 to determine whether they've finally gotten that last 5% I felt the Sasha was missing that the Alexia has.

I did on thursday , went on to listen again to alexia, wow the choice will be hard choosing between sasha 2 and alexia, by the i do like what mit do but it will be an all wireworld system since all my power cord are silver electra and i am waiting for my platinum interconnect this week

I should be able to let you know in a few weeks. My new Sasha 2s should be delivered very soon. I run a Devialet 800 in my system.

Hallo Guillaume,
Thank you for reply.

I go have my Sasha2 in ca 10 days too. At today I have a system Passlabs: Xp20 with Xa100.5.

The Devialet can be very very interesting. For the Devialt Helpline the 400 is more as enough. Soon come the SAM for the Sasha2 too!!!


Purchase a Devialet 400 (strange but true) it's less expensive than replacing the 100.5 with the 100.8!!

Please give me your news.
