    Aurora speaker...coming up

    Finally got to install a pair in my demo room. To cut it short: does it deliver to expectations? They absolutely do!! Really. The fact this pair comes with the optional Bluetooth module that allows a passive adjustment of bass level, midrange level, tweeter level, crossover curves, etc...

    Do Tubes Homogenize the Sound of Our Music?

    Hello Bonzo, interesting view that is being launched here to only base opinions on mobile phones! To avoid further discards, would you care sharing with us which phones you deem worthy to use, possibly which recording app to use or not, etc? oh, and before I forget, can you also mention if it...

    Best overall cartridge

    BTW, i have a 10.5" FCL tonearm and, as a dealer for Primary Control and although I could have requested that, I did not want the arm to be tailored to the (pretty exclusive) requirements of the DAVA alone, for obvious reasons.

    Best overall cartridge

    I thought the DAVA Reference had a lot of details and sounding organic and dynamic at the same time, until i heard the Atlas Lambda (and Opus One)... So, I got the Atlas SL because i wanted to be able to keep on using my +18dB SUT. Again, i attribute a lot to them being able to extract more of...

    Best overall cartridge

    For me and in my system, the Lyra Atlas Lambda SL on the Primary Control FCL tonearm is the best of the bunch I tested. That bunch included the Lyra Atlas Lambda, Phasemation PP-2000, Opus One (Airtight), the Lyra Etna, Dava Reference and Dava FC-A1 The Opus One was excellent as well, more of...

    Alsyvox - Hi end Munich 2022 - your thoughts

    A bit late to reply on this post but thought I'd post a picture of the show we did in the Netherlands with the Essentia monoblocks from Aries Cerat with the Taiko Extreme and the Primary Control Kinea sources. Regarding your comment on getting an integrated to drive the Botticelli, it is...

    AC Preamps: Impera II & Impera Signature

    If you don’t look at prices, then just go for the Impera Signature and never look back…

    AC Preamps: Impera II & Impera Signature

    As I don’t think the audionet is true balanced, I would therefore say RCA. If I am wrong, then better to have a Impera Reference with true balanced out option installed.

    The Impera II Reference awarded Magnificent Masterpiece by hifi-advice

    Enjoy reading this nice review of the 'basic' model of the Impera II preamplifier line. After the Incito S, which already took the reviewer by surprise, this time it was too find out what value brings a model higher up... Aries Cerat preamplifiers compared – Incito S and Impera Reference |...
