I will be sharing videos and photos from my recent trip to Cyprus from Indonesia. Although the journey was challenging, with three flights in 19 hours, the visit was rejuvenating.
Stavros was a great host and took excellent care of me during my stay. He is a genius in building top-class musical instruments with a relentless pursuit of excellence. My seven-day experience with Aries Cerat was truly eye-opening, not only in terms of learning but also seeing the level of detail, quality, and perfection in Stavros's work.
As a 20-year audio enthusiast, I was amazed by the build quality and sound of the products. The sound can only be described as magical. Stavros kindly showed me his Aurora and Contendo 2 speaker systems, along with his TriodeFet QuintEssence amplifiers, which are now my new reference. The Ageto pre-amp is a must-have for the Essentia or QuintEssence amplifiers. I believe this combination will gain significant popularity in the coming months as more people hear it.

Stavros exudes restlessness in his approach to work, combining his engineering and design skills with an unparalleled level of precision and quality. He truly embodies the traits of a genius or mad scientist in his unrelenting pursuit of perfection.
Aries Cerat audio gear is more than just high-end; it's like a musical instrument that brings the soul of music to life. Every playback is an emotional experience. This is the type of gear that mature audiophiles truly appreciate, from sound quality to its insane build quality and unique proprietary circuit design. It offers both convenience and excellence.
What amazes me about the TriodeFet amplifiers is that they sound like the best of solid state, OTL, and SET tube amplifiers all at once, yet they don't sound like any of them. I've never come across an amplifier like this before, it truly defies description
