Congrats! A couple of weeks is nothing. That's not backorder for Wilson's. I had to wait a few months for mine!

I was going to order Tidal Piano G2's, though the required place your order with 50% down and then wait six months for delivery was out of the question for me. The wait would be much easier if I still had my Guarneri Evolutions around, but they sold pretty quickly to a local gentleman. I am speakerless! :-(

Bavarian05, very nice! With what will you be driving the Sabrinas? Wilson Audio speakers, probably used, will be on my short list when I am able to upgrade. In the meantime, I am sharing your fondness of Sonus Faber with my Grand Piano Domus. Looking forward to hearing about your treat!

Hi Mikeylee,

System is: Bricasti M1 DAC and matching M28 mono blocks.
Bryston BDP-2 file server. In search of new cabling as we speak...Wireworld, Kimber, Synergistic Research and Shunyata are possible options.

Congrats Jason. Lovely speakers for sure. Wilson speakers LOVE Transparent cables.

Thank you. I am going to audition full looms from Shunyata Zitron Anaconda, Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 4 and Purist Audio Corvus.
I've owned full Transparent Ultra MM2 loom and Reference AES cabling previously and just don't think Transparent get that impressive until you spend really ridiculous amounts of money on them. Just my experience...I say this now and in two months I'll be eating my words right! ;-)

Jason
I am very anxious to hear your impressions on your cable comparison. I have heard Transparent high end cables with Wilson and they always sound great as do the Shunyatas in my system. But I have never conducted a head to head comparison of the 2 in my system.
