Pilium Audio in action-

These photos are real eye-candies! Awesome!
The inner surfaces of the chassis are also colored same as the exterior!
:oops:
Yes, just like a Ferrari:)
 
Pilium sounds like its great gear - BUT - If this was a Ferrari - it would need to go on a diet :) :)
Just referring to the color, maybe a Ferrari SUV:)
 
How about a Ferrari tank :) :)
Love your sales place & the gear you represent - when I get to New York - I hope you will allow an Aussie "tyre kicker" to listen to what for me is unobtainable...
Yes, a Ferrari tank, PERFECT description!!!

Would enjoy nothing more than if you visited Rob. You are most certainly always welcome and hope that we can all be flying regularly soon.

Nice Amps, I have recently heard their Big Brothers and was very impressed by the tube like sound even though they are SS design. Are these Intergrated amp keeps the same sound signature of their Big Brothers separates?

Yes, the Leonidas or even the Odysseus (smaller/165lb) integrated have the same quality of sound as the Achilles stereo amp or Hercules mono amps.

Of course there is a difference when you go to the Alexander or Ares pre and then one of several stereo or mono amps, but right now I'm living with the Leonidas it's as good as ANY amplification that I have ever heard. Tubes or SS, but it's just my personal preference ymmv.

Happy to say, we've got a Leonidas on its way up north to Sweden/Scandinavia soon.

Hi Bob, are these in silver or arctic white colour? (Other than the picture in black one of course)
They all look like arctic white except with the third pic it's hard to tell as the lighting can change the color a bit on pics.

Welcome Pilium Elektra to my humble system. I used to think pre and amp are most important for the system and DACs are just DACs. I also assume in my system I can’t hear much difference from one dac to another. I was so wrong! So much higher resolution and more dynamic from Elektra than any other DAC I had. The bass are more articulate and goes deeper. I’m planning to get more Pilium to replace my system. Now the only issue is waiting for Pilium to design and produce a streamer. I heard it’s coming, but when? DAAE4599-DD62-4BF4-B014-54A3630494E4.jpeg

Awesome and congrats! In time people will realize how good the Pilium Elektra is. It's a bargain at it's price for what it sound like and it's build quality.

TDX, what dacs did you use before?
 
Rhapsody's RLR in Chicago just received their Alexander preamp and Achilles Stereo amp. The Alsyvox Botticellis are being made and will ship in a few weeks. Until the B's arrive Jerry is breaking in the Alex/Achilles. Just turned on today.
