    Pilium Audio in action-

    It’s interesting that today I received an email from Audiogon with Mike’s EA speakers are for sale and not sure what’s next for his journey. I was thinking about his speakers before but I didn’t have the current room for them while I never had a chance to listen to any pair of EA as well to...

    Thanks Kedar, interestingly I was looking at the FM phono a few days ago and not sure how it’d sound in my system. I was not totally convinced when listening to the full FM system at Munich last year despite various types of music were played when I spent 30-45 minutes there. But as always...

    Thank you for your advice, much appreciated and I totally understand the fun gained from that upgrade journey. I’ve not researched anything about phonostage yet, so any recommendations for me please? The best possible one :)

    I can’t travel anytime soon until next year. I think I am in no rush to force myself buying anything at the moment although I have the itch to change my digital and bringing a tt home. While researching about TTs, I bumped into an old article about Walker, it’s just crazy to read through the...

    After a long time using digital as my only source, I might be crazy enough to go into analog now and buying my first ever TT then cart and phono to follow shortly. The only problem is I have never set up an analog system before and what I have read about that and the maintenance of the tt and...

    It seems only Hyperion who has got everything listed on his website, otherwise I am struggling to find them online too, especially for other countries but not Sweden

    I’ve got your point as it’s easier for you to compare the whole set of karan to pilium while I only had the monoblocks but a different pre which I think is just stellar. Konstantinos told me not to go above 28 with the Olympus although the max volume is set at 33. So I never dared to go above...

    I’ve never tried the karan pre before so can’t comment on that, but having owned quite a number of high quality tube pres and then the koda, it just ticked all the boxes for me. Even when Aldo was here, so Dave etc. Everyone was just utterly impressed by how the Karan/Koda combo did with the...

    Pilium Audio in action-

    A sunny Saturday afternoon with wonderful music, after a crazy time when many things went wrong, is absolutely a treat for myself. I listen to various types of music including classical and neoclassical, but really selective in what I like. I hope you like this piece too, especially the intro...

    No I have not. I’m waiting for the Venus dac to be made then sent here for me to try, just not sure when.

    This song, to me, is simply fantastic in every meaningful way and I think it’s an amazing track to test the system from vocal, acoustic, dynamic and control as it’ll bring us through different stages from the beginning until the end. With the combination between Pilium and Sigma Acoustic, the...

    A quick video captured by my phone can hopefully give you an idea of how the Pilium sounds when driving the Maat speakers.

    A very quick update from me about the magic that Pilium and Sigma Acoustic are making in my room. Konstantinos and Kosta came over from Israel with Dave, my UK distributor friend, to fine tune the amps and make sure they’re at their very best. Actually the Maat Vector Xac speakers are very...

    The Atlas monoblocks are incredibly heavy, must be around 180-200 kg each. Their size is massive too as you can see how deep and thick they are when sitting alongside my speakers. Paul, my UK distributor friend, and his sons came over with 3 massive flight cases and helped setting them up...
