Hi all, happy to announce that Aries Cerat will again have a big presence at the Munich High end show from 18 till 21 May.

They will have a dedicated room and be present in at least one other room. I will be posting on the details of the system that will be present in the near future.

Here is a picture of the amplifiers that are going to be shown in the room: the Aries Cerat Concero 65 SET monoblocks. They not only look but above all they sound stunning.

They will be paired with the Kassandra Signature DAC and the Impera II preamplifier, all of the same Aries Cerat brand.

As for the speakers, keep you eyes on this thread as the pictures of the custom finish will be revealed in a couple of weeks from now! :cool:

Also for the source, I will be able to announce a VERY interesting belgian-made product offering a substantially better value and being soundwise even better (*) than hotly marketed servers.

(*) An early prototype was compared directly to some of those models and already equalled or exceeded their sonic qualities, since then the product was further developed and has made noticeable improvement, for sure now outclassing early comparisons.

Dear Leif,

You are most welcome at the Aries Cerat demo room number P13 in Hall 3.

At the same stand, we will also feature Entreq products as well as a worldclass new streamer whose name and brand will be premiered at the show.

Looking forward to see you there.

In the near future I will be releasing some more pictures of stuff that will be part of what promises to become a must-see demo.

Our room is not tall, on the contrary. Of course we wanted a taller one but the organisation has to let you ...

Anyway, we had some very 'encouraging comments' to put it diplomatically :cool:

Hi Michel,

Looking forward to listening to your system in Munich on Saturday and then at your place a little bit later.

The good thing is that I see a turntable. I am sure that one day you will go analog:)

Kind regards,

Denis

I'm not sure if they are playing those pipes or smoking them... either way there is a biiiit of a culture clash going on in that line up for sure.

Congrats on such great early recognition! Emile has given me a heads up on the new Taiko products and I very much look forward to putting them through their paces. I do however think you may have missed someone from your credits list
