THE Show Newport is now over and I want to take a moment to make a notable observation for those following this thread:
4 days straight....
8 hours a day nonstop....
87db efficient loudspeakers....
Very first production model (designed for me for the US market)
Flawless....
Not a single hiccup, tick or sense of fatigue in driving the Vandersteen 5A carbons. Outside of MBL's, this is one of the very few demanding
modern loudspeakers in production.... and the Diana Forte powered them with ease.
We did 3 videos on YouTube of THE Show Newport and you can check the lower right hand corner for the preamp's volume level (35-37 out of 64) never went above about half for redbook. This is a true 60W RMS with 60% of the bias setting full power.
You can check the video link

I hope many of you will be able to hear the effortlessness of an Aries Cerat amplifier in the days to come. It leaves you a changed person....
