What are you doing today that is Hi-Fi related?

My Taiko server arrived late yesterday, so today was spent getting it out of the box and a preliminary set up. Although it’s late at least I have music playing through it………….
 
Audio Solutions just arrive.

Last time I had their bigger brother here at the same time as the Gauder Akustik Cappello 100's. The GA's were more than TWICE the price of the Audio Solutions and the Audio Solutions - to my ear in my system - were far better speakers.

We'll see how these smaller versions do!

I just looked up the sensitivity of those Figaro’s and it’s 92db, so a 20 - 30 watt tube amp would be outstanding!

Yup. They rock with the BAT VK80i I have here. I think that is only 50 watts or so. There are 4 tube amps not in that pic I just posted.

I have to ask what speakers do you use with them? Mine here are so sensitive (106db) that I could use pretty much any amp.

Hi,
Would you be willing to share your impressions of Aries Cerat Concero amps here, how they compare to other amplifiers in yur system etc.?
Thank you
 
That's an Aric Audio 2A3 two chassis amp.

It. Is. Phenomenal.

Thank you, it’s beautiful, I have to look into it as I was recently intrigued by the 2A3and 300b type amps. I mean I’m very happy either way my HH Scott amps but…………………………

Sure.

They are - in my opinion - among the best of the best. They have a combination of openers, airiness, full-boidiness, and fantastic bass. They are extremely musical and allow me to connect with the music on a level few other pieces have done.

A big part of this is also using their Helene DAC and the Pink Faun server.

The AC seems to have the best of many different amps that I've heard all combined into one.

If people say SET's can't do bass, they haven't heard it done right. I can play actually play vocal trance and relive my Rave days and feel like I'm back at the rave as easily as playing Louis Armstrong. The emotional connection of the Aries Cerat gear is outstanding.

I like my Shill roasted with a little Au Jus, seasoned fingerling potatoes and grilled asparagus. Pair it with a nice Montrachet…………..
