Thank you! The Sasha 2's arrived on Tuesday and I added SAM right away. I have not done much A/B listening but I can say they sound incredible. My dealer spent hours dialing position in and will be back in a few weeks when they are more broken in. You are simply going to love your speakers. Also, the 250 to 800 change for me was well worth it with my previous speakers, Tidal Piano Cera. Think they really make the Sasha 2 sing.
I used to have the first version Sasha's and they were really singing with the dual mono.
I remember them to be very picky on positioning so its a good thing you are getting further help from your dealer. Once they sit on the spikes, because the floor facing side of the casters are not smooth, it was almost impossible to move them around. Good for the final sound, but might hurt if you did not get the place exactly right, so you might want to keep them on wheels, or get some easy to move smooth bottom castors in case you move to spikes.
I'm very interested in how you set up your Lyra Atlas cartridge since I have the same one for a few days and I'm getting some grey noise in the tweeters of my Focal Utopia Nova speakers with my D-800...
Of course we're all very curious about the difference between the mac mini and the Aurender. How the mini was connected and how the Aurender is
