Greetings WBF Members!

I am new to the WBF, but for more information about Believe High Fidelity we have made introductions here and if you plan to attend CES see our system here

I would like to introduce Aries Cerat Designs and the groundbreaking technology introduced in their electronic lineup. Each product was designed from the ground up to be the best it could be. Only after that pre-requisite was met was a price tag given and introduced commercially and not the other way around. This is important the next time you see a mainstream product released to fit certain price points within a sales model.

The following lineup are Class A1 SOTA Single Ended Triode for maximum sonic performance. Not triodes being used in Push Pull with different operating modes. All models introduced a new innovation and as such are very special.


IMPERA PREAMPLIFER:

Innovation: Inverted Triode Stage

Description: The parameters of this new active element, are far different than any conventional triode; the inverted triode actually acts like a virtual “vacuum state transformer”. Instead of having gain, the inverted triode has a gain that of a fraction of unity,just like a step down transformer. The internal resistance is many times lower, and input capacitance is nearly zero.



PONDERA PREAMPLIFER:

Innovation: Negalite Output Impedance Energy Supply or N.O.I.E.S.

Description: This energy supply has a negative internal resistance throughout the audible spectrum, without the use of feedback or feed-forward techniques, so no sonic artifacts are present.

In fact, the negative impedance is compared to a power tube’s transconductance. Where even the best power supply fail in extreme transients needed and sag out, our Negative Output Impedance Energy Supply not only does not sag out, it even contributes to the gain of the preamplifier.


IANUS HYBRID POWER AMP:

Innovation: TriodeFET technology

Description: The TriodeFET is a three terminal device, like any FET or triode, that presents the low voltage/high current operating mode of a high power FET, at the same time, it’s characteristic transfer curves are exactly like a high quality triode. A two stage Single Ended stereo amplifier, with the TriodeFET as the heart of the amplifier. Delivering 18W, it’s sound is as close it gets to a absolute top echelon SE triode amplifier, and unmatched by any SS amplifier today.


COLLATIO II SE OTL AMP:

Innovation: First True Class A SE OTL amplifier

Description: All tube OTL amplifiers use SEPP, cyclotron or Mr. Futterman’s variations. All these are push-pull amplification stages. The Collatio output stage is a unique Single ended stage, a parallel-feed power stage,using 20 power tubes in parallel per channel, loaded by 4 massive chokes, and AC coupled to the output terminals, using an exotic film capacitor designed to be able to surge 20.000A peaks.

Tell me what has the latest groundbreaking design your tube manufacturer has done in the last 10 years....?? :)

Hello Bill,

There are a few models in the lineup with a few configuration options that can adjust the price. To make things easy the Prestige line (Incito Pre) starts at 12,000 USD and the reference line starting at 35,000 US

We know that many don't have one size fits all systems so we can add XLR inputs/outputs, volume control, etc that can fit each systems needs. If you want to know a specific model configuration I can price it out for you offline to keep the rules of the forum.
