After ordering my Aries Cerat Aurora speakers last February, they are now on the way. I will have an all Aries Cerat system.

Here are my first impressions of the Ianus Essentias. A little background. I am coming from an amp with 16 WE 300B tubes in them that were lush and musical. I do not play music at concert levels. I like all types of music but have a preference for Indie, Jazz, Soundtracks, Classical, Female...
If one has Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia amps, what Preamp would best be suited to pair to the Essentia's? What would the sonic differences be between the Impera Reference and Signature and Ianus Ageto?
I just tripped over this artist today and if you have a decent system this guy has arranged an incredible music listening session. Whoever was the sound engineer did a fantastic job. The album is called Quartet. I would call it Jazz fusion.
I have read recently that a few members have purchased the Takatsuki 274B rectifier tubes with rave reviews. There seem to be many choices. The price point of the Tak 274 is well over a thousand dollars. Others like PSVane are around $250. What makes them so different in price? Does anyone...
Who is using the Lampi Pacific as a Pre-Amp? I have a Canary Audio C1800 Pre-Amp paired to Canary Grand Reference 300B mono amps.. I have not tried to run the Pacific directly to the Grand Reference until today. I was quite surprised by how good the sound was. I will soon be ordering a...
Does anyone have any experience with the Octave Jubilee 300B mono amps and or Pre-amp? I am getting the bug to try something different. I have Canary Audio Grand Reference 300B mono amps with 16 Western Electric 300 B tubes and a C1800 Pre-amp. I have Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Dual horn...
I am curious who is using the Lampi Pacific as a Pre-Amp? If so, did you start out with the Lampi or a different Pre-Amp? What caused you to change? Do you think the sound quality is the same as a dedicated Pre-Amp? I have not tried it on my system because it is not in an area that I can...
After having purchased my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix speakers and Canary Audio Grand Reference Mono Amps with a C1800 Pre-Amp, I decided to investigate updating my Lumin X-1. I guess we are always looking to upgrade our system within reason....right? So, I started testing my wife about the...
Like Keith, I have been on a similar speaker mission. I sold my home and my two channel system which included SF Amati Tradition Homage speakers, Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 tube amp and a Lumin X-1 DAC / Streamer. I am building a new home and I will have a separate Theater Room that is...
