Hopefully unpacking all 600lbs of gear from Aries-Cerat tomorrow with the help of my awesome dealer - @Believe High Fidelity!

I call him Mr. AC because he has been such a wealth of knowledge and help with Aries-Cerat. This would not have been possible without his help.

Looks like it’s going to be a fun day….

For sure! I need to be careful with my neck issues that I try and stay smart how I move this stuff. I'm going to make sure the wife helps. ;)
 
What did you get?
 
OK guys - Josh was awesome setting it up and the wife helped out as well. Between getting ZERO sleep the night before and my limited abilities due to my neck I wasn't much help.

Pictures don't do it justice though I hopefully will have a couple to share tomorrow. I'm also going to put together a quick unboxing and set up vid pieced together from the vids taken by the wife and pics.

Right now it's on burn-in mode.
 
Here is a link to the video in which half of it is a sped-up unboxing/set of the Aries Cerat I'm also posting a pic here of the finished set up:

I enjoyed the video but I was a bit surprised to see the tubes handled with bare hands...

That's a great point. I always used gloves but virtually every tube amp mfg and NOS dealer I've talked to claims using bare hands is no issue for the tubes.

So for the last year I have been handling dozens of tubes (maybe hundreds?) with no ill effect.

Everyone needs a good and trusted dealer :).

I agree. Great dealers AND distributors can make or break a brand. Sadly many brands seem to fail to realize that.

I cannot say enough good things about buying from and dealing with Josh.
 
Is this going to be your personal system?
Hi - yes. It's my personal gear I bought.

When I win the lottery I want to buy his horn speakers and also his giant 6 chassis mono block amps (3-chassis each). Josh already knows which one I want. :)

Here is a pic I took of them at Josh's place:
