My actual system is Triode TRX-M845 SET Amp, Ayon CD35 HF CD / DAC / Preamp, Paradigm Persona 9H speakers.
Although satisfied with my system, I had always a secret admiration for Aries Cerat...and finally Aries Cerat is being represented in my country, so it was inevitable that I would try them at home.
Now I have in my home the new Aries Cerat SET Amp Concero 25, Incito S Preamp and Helene DAC.
The Concero 25s are a monoblocks SET amps with 25w. The power tubes are 845 (Elrog) and the driver tubes RCA 814.
The amplifiers are completely new, and the preamp and DAC only played about 30 to 40 hours.
First Impressions:
Compared to my system, the sound is even more organic and natural. The midrange is now full-bodied without any sign of hardness! The treble is fatigue-free, even with speakers such as the Personas 9H, which favor clarity and transparency and can sometimes sound a little harsh with lower quality recordings.
After 3 days:
Another glorious night with the Aries Cerat / Personas 9h system...the sound is getting better and better.
The voices are spooky real...I close my eyes and suddenly the singer is with me in the room.
Any trace of hardness with my previous system is gone...and this with the amps with only 30h of burn in, and a cheap interconnect and power chord between the preamp and DAC (my dealer is waiting for the Audiences AU24SX).
more to come...
