What's up gang? Been on an upgrade binge this year. My system has completely changed with a few exceptions like the Wilson Sashas and the Lamm M1.2 monos. And as things go, I was also planning to upgrade the Sashas to Gen 2 or to the Alexias. I decided to upgrade everything around the Sashas. What I discovered was nothing short of an epiphany. I hadn't really given the Sashas a chance to shine. With the addition of the Lamm L2 preamp, the Meitner MA-1 Dac, the Transparent Audio PowerIsolator MMs and the PowerIsolator 8, and the Meridian Sooloos Ensemble, the Sashas have become new speakers in my room. Sasha, I owe you an apology. And with the impending recal of the Transparent Audio Ref XLMM2 ICs and Spkr cable, I'm persuaded that Sasha will transform yet again. I wonder just how many times I've upgraded components that just never really got a chance to shine. So, for now, I'm keeping my Sashas.

Tima,

My Lamm M1.2s are sitting atop SRA VR-Series IsoBases. I know ur a proponent of SRA. do you thing the StillPoints outperform the IsoBases?
