Aries - Cerat in the house.....

[Synaxis]

Took an almost 12 hour round trip to see Joshua at Believe High Fidelity outside of Austin today, and returned with two Aries-Cerat pieces to check out!

One is the Helene DAC and the other is the Genus Integrated amp.

Exhausted from driving and lifting these 150 pound beasts so I'll wrangle them into the system tomorrow.

Here is Mrs. Greek checking out the TRIPLE CHASSIS PER CHANNEL - so SIX in total for a stereo pair Aries Cerat Achilles mono blocks employing a mind-bending 30 tubes EACH CHANNEL!

The sound? Glorious beyond description.....or as my wife described their sound: "hauntingly beautiful".

I'll be trying some Aries-Cerat gear back at my place on Tobian 12FH horn speakers.

That is kind of a tube gear Tobians were meant to be used with

I have it all warming up now.

I also wanted to let the gear settle over night from the vibrations from the road trip.

First I'm going to do the @AriesCerat with the Aqua tube DAC I am familiar with (I am running NOS tubes in it) with the Tobians.

Once I am very familiar with that I'll be swapping out the DAC and adding in the Helene DAC and see what changes occur.
