    What are the Top Horn Speakers in the World Today? Vox Olympian vs Avantgarde Trio vs ???

    Just hooked up my Aries Cerat Aurora. Yes, they are in a corner against the wall in my family room. This is our main living area so that is where they have to go. In my case, I am missing absolutely nothing in SQ by having them there. I am happy and that is all that matters.

    Review: Lampizator Horizon (vs Pacific 2 & Golden Atlantic TRP3)

    I just decided to go to an all-Aries Cerat System and in order to make it work financially, I had to trade my Horizon as part of the deal.

    Review: Lampizator Horizon (vs Pacific 2 & Golden Atlantic TRP3)

    Zappa ---I am trading my Horizon in for the Aries Cerat Kassandra 2 Ref. It should be an interesting comparison.

    The Aurora's are coming.

    Nobody driving the vehicle sitting behind them either! Yes, you are right. That is my one-seat scooter that I drive to and from the golf course. Being functionally blind that is the only vehicle my wife will let me drive and there are no major roads. I would urge you not to undertake any...

    The Aurora's are coming.

    Look what showed up today. 6 large crates totaling 2,000 lbs. The Auroras are here. The bad news is I will not be able to set them up until March 23rd. It will take me that long to get them out of the crates. LOL.

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    Ask Anas, he has tremendous insight and experience in this realm. If it were just me, I would at least try to expand your budget and go with the Gamma Infinity PC on your power conditioner and Infinity on your speaker cables.

    Your All Time Favorite Preamplifiers?

    Mike The model you referred to is the Aries Cerat Ianus Ageto Preamp. I have owned one for about two months now. It made a significant difference in my listening pleasure. I have tried to find an amp / pre that I could play at lower sound levels that would still provide great musical detail...

    QSA Jitter Plugs

    I replaced my QSA Silver Crystal Jitter plug with the QSA Lanedri Ultimatum Infinity Power Cord. This PC is going from my Inakustic 4500P power conditioner to an SR wall outlet. I am now done chasing power cords. This is my end-game cord. I now have the Jitter plug on my movie projector but...

    The Aurora's are coming.

    In response to numerous people asking me how I ended up with the Auroras, I will chronicle a little of my story. I have only been an audio lover for the last 9 years. I started with B&W, then Wilson Audio, Sonus Faber and then I sold my house about 4-5 years ago and the new owners demanded my...

    The Aurora's are coming.

    No, I had Aries Cerat put the Arya Revo footers under the Ageto but that is it. I have an Adona rack which already has isolation properties built in.

    The Aurora's are coming.

    The Aurora's are getting closer. They arrived in Canada and will be shipped to their home in Arizona next week. In the meantime, I received the Wellfloat footers today. I will be using them under the Auroras.

    Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia Owners thread

    I am not using AC link. Maybe down the road but at this early stage I do not know what the added benefits would be. Do you use it?

    Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia Owners thread

    After two months, I am finally able to set up the Ageto today. A combination of customs delays and my knee replacement precluded me from adding the Ageto to the Essentia. The power supply of the Ageto alone is over 165lbs. I could not lift it by myself and it went on the bottom shelf of the...

    The Aurora's are coming.

    I still own Hijiri Power cords and RCA cables. I did a lot of comparison testing between Tchernov and Hijiri. Hijiri was a little more musical than Tchernov but both are very good cables and cords. I have the Hijiri on my source components (LDMS and Horizon). I did not compare between QSA...

    The Aurora's are coming.

    I need 4 speaker cables for the Aurora - one to the crossover and three from the crossover to the speaker. I am using the QSA Lanedri Ultimatum Infinity SC from amp to Crossover, I am using an Ultimatum Infinity SC and 2 Gamma Infinity SC's from crossover to speakers.

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    @alwayslearning.... Great and detailed write-up. I hope many people jump on the QSA bandwagon. I have the Ultimatum Infinity PC and SC. I can not use all of the words you used but I agree with everything you say. They are truly end-game cables. Regarding the cost....yes they are expensive...

    My room (non metric) is 30' W x 45' L with 16' cathedral ceilings and my Essentias more than fill the room. :)

    I am just curious as to what Db level is concert lever? 95 would be about my max also but I am generally in the 83 - 90 range.

    Zappa I wish you lived in the USA because I have a wonderful set of speakers that are pictured that work outstanding with my Essentias. I am giving them up for the Auroras which are on the way.

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    @romaz Congrats on your move. That takes a lot of balls but in the end, you have to take care of yourself. I was wondering what happened to you. You are probably surfing now. Your insight helped me make a deep investment in QSA Lanedri and I appreciated your opinions. Thank you. QSA...

    Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia Owners thread

    I would second Phantom's comments above. I have the Essentia. Prior to that, I had the Canary Audio Grand Reference 300B amps with 16 Western Electric 300B tubes. TBH, I was tired of dialing in the 300B tubes every month and they ran super hot. I also had a few tubes go out and this was just...

    REVIEW: Lucas Domansky Music Server (LDMS) Minimax

    After having two LDMS's, I will never go in another direction. The customer support, SQ, customization options, and Value are second to none. My Lampi Pacific (when I had it) was ordinary until I received my first LDMS.

    LDMS Server

    I can relate. I went crazy with QSA cords and cables and speakers and a new preamp. Fuses are not in the budget right now.

    LDMS Server
