Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options
If a Pass Xa25 is in your realm you absolutely should audition one. Fantastic little amp. Not sure sure where it was ever called “colored”. Not. Pure class A awesome. 
Stock Leben Hi-Fi Power Cord
Ok, to answer the question. Generally a larger gauge would go with an amp, lower gauge, sources. That’s about it. They really are “generic”. 
Good Match? Audio research LS22 Preamp, with B&K Reference 2220 power amp
LS= line stage in ARC speak... 
Stock Leben Hi-Fi Power Cord
+1 what MC said. Or, use them to break everything in, then go crazy with aftermarket... 
Will Sasha II work in a 11.5 x 26 ft room
Yes, Sasha’s would be great! And another vote for room treatment. Can make all the difference regardless of speaker. It doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. These days, you can get really creative with aesthetics as well. Make it look real... 
Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver
Try them all, pick the one you prefer. That’s the only way you will know. BTW the Node is significantly improved with an aftermarket power cable. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@noromance Sheik Yerbouti! Just a freakin’ awesome album! I’m a Dancin’ fool!@spiritofradio- regarding Rolling Stone, I’m 100% with you. Never read it any more. But the NP story was excellent. Worth the read for sure.

Pink Floyd: The Wall 
JC3+ phono preamp
You got a dud. It happens. No single mechanical thing is 100% every time. Who know, maybe it was dropped during shipping or any number of things. Send it back, get a new one. Audio Advisor will prob send you a new one before you return the old one...

@spiritofradio... did you see the article on Neil Peart in Rolling Stone? Excellent, sad, enlightening. Being a drummer Neil/Rush has been a major part of my life since I was a teenager...

What exactly is textural density??
Where is my salad dressing? 
New Audiophile going crazy
Welcome to the machine... 
Enquiring minds want to know
Seriously? Please say no? 9,000 ;-) hours for a cable to break in, now this? It’s getting thick. Never mind! 
Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000...
@matt00 try the SP16. They have easy resale. Maybe for you it blows it out of the park. That’s the trouble with this, any recommendation should be taken as a suggestion only. You’ll have to audition some. What works for some systems might not work...
