Coda or Parasound Monoblocks for Wilson Sabrina
I agree, Luxman is truly magical with Wilson. I have a L-590axii driving my Watt Puppy 8’s. No issue at all with power, it plays clean to levels beyond what my ears can tolerate. Super sweet sound, but also lots and lots of details.  
Cable brands that work well with Cardas?
I went from Clear Beyond to Silversmith Fidelium and took a step up sound wise!  
10k Towers with biggest soundstage?
Watt Puppy’s would be (and is) my choice. When properly setup, they throw a large and extremely realistic soundstage

Silversmith Fidelium sounds glorious with my Watt Puppy 8’s  
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
I went from PS Audio BHK Pre with Pass Labs XA60.5 (and Audio Research REF75SE in rotation...) to a Luxman L-590AXII. No regrets at all. In many regards actually sound even better than the separates did!!!!   Driving Wilson Watt Puppy 8's and ye... 
Wilson Sasha DAW - Ideal Integrated Amp For Streaming
Luxman L-590axii. Absolutely glorious with my W/P 8’s. It’ll give you everything you expect from a tube amp with drive that you’ll expect from a high current solid state  
SS Substitute for Tube Integrated?

Cartridge incompatibility, Soundsmith and Luxman
@billwojo where do you get $1000 from?! By the time I sell the cartridge I have and get a different one, it’s pretty much a wash.  
Cartridge incompatibility, Soundsmith and Luxman
First, I'm not going to open up the amp and modify it. By the time I do that, I might just as well spend the money to get a different cartridge. Yes, I do like the Zephyr, but there are other good ones out there.   Larry, yes, I do love the soun... 
Which Integrated with Magico A3
Luxman L509x is absolutely magical (no pun intended!)  
Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7
Second recommendation of Luxman L-509x. It does indeed have the power needed to drive the 3.7's. Keep in mind that it's doubling its output in 4ohms and nearly doubles AGAIN into 2ohms.   For reference, I'm driving my Wilson Watt/Puppy 8's with ... 
Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022
I've been using a PS Audio DirectStream Sr. for a few years now and although I've auditioned quite a few other units, none gets close. The DSS has an organic, almost analog, sound that is truly intoxicating. Feed it a native signal (no upsampling)...
