Tidal Contriva Diacera or Aerial 20T V2

linkster....after hearing them at axpona i can fully understand what you mean...i currently am on the last 8 months of a porsche lease which i was going to purchase at the end....not now...i will be turning it back in and getting the contriva se or the diacera se...can't wait..

Calloway I would definetely do the same thing! lol

Interconnects and Speakers cables: for Contriva Diacera SE.
GO for STAGE III Reference Gryphon IC and Reference Mantikor SC or
ARGENTO Flow Master Reference IC and SC.

Rilou, I am unaware of the total cost of both alternatives. For the sake of argument, let's suppose they are equivalent.
If you are planning to go for a matching new set of IC and SC, then, my preference would go to Argento Flow. I repeat my previous statement: it is a combination "made in heaven"
To be sure, that is not a judgement on the intrinsic value of other products, but Tidal and Argento are completely symbiotic and therefore "a sure bet" that will probably not be topped.

Seeing as how this thread has morphed into discussions about Tidal and matching equipment it may be of greater value to continue this on the dedicated Tidal thread.
