Thanks Bvdiman, You are one of the reasons I looked at Tidal. I was looking to upgrade a long time ago and had listened to Magico V2's last year. They had a seductive sound but not something I would want to listen to on an ongoing basis. Too slice...

I received my Piano Diacera's this morning. Took about four months to receive after initial payment. I was like Pope Julius II impatiently waiting for Michelangelo to paint the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. It was worth the wait. The craftsmanshi... 
Spectron MIII mk II owner's question.
The only downside I can think of is they take a long time to break-in, a good 600-1000 hours of playing time. In my experience they can sound downright awful between 150-300 hours. I have a suspicion that any crticisms of Spectron comes from them ...

Thanks for your response Jorn. I couldn't agree with you more. There are many choices out there for everyone to build a system that is just right for them. Each component I have in my system along with my choice to purchase Tidal speakers is based...

Because of the kindness of Linkster I had an opportunity to audition the Piano Cera's this past Saturday.First let me say the Linkster has a fabulous system. He also introduced me to some great music of which I had been previously unaware. I had a...

I forgot to add that the Spectron will be directly compared with the Einstein "Light in the Dark" amp, 80 wpc, using the Gill Audio Alana preamp in both cases. Brawn vs subtlety is suppose.

Tomorrow, Saturday, I will be auditioning the Piano Cera speakers. To add a little twist to the audition I will bring along my Spectron Musician III MKII amp. It will be interesting to see how the Cera's sound with a 600 wpc class D amp. April 6 i...
