Tidal electronics...
Presencio is much better than Preos and if buy it without the phono stage module you will save some money. But overall I doubt whether someone can create a better preamplifier in the following years... 
Tidal electronics...
The Tidal Presencio is fully balanced design (a friend bought one and it doesn't have any single ended inputs!!!!)No preamp can match a Tidal Preos (maybe you should try Soulution but I really doubt) 
Tidal electronics...
Murataltuev, very easy. The Presencio....But I imagine that you could ask Tidal to add balanced inputs to your preamplifier....

Fla, I find it unlikely to be able to drive the Cera with a 18w SET . It is is big speaker... 
Tidal electronics...
Tbg, absolutely not. Sovereign amps are in a different league altogether. But I would buy the Aaron Cineast No.22 anytime instead of the Krell Evolution preamps or the cheaper offerings by Burmester or Octave.When I replaced my Aaron preamplifier ... 
Tidal electronics...
Tbg,I own the Aaron Cineast No.22 preamplifier and I am using it in my multichannel system. I also have tried the Aaron XX integrated amplifier. Like Sovereign you have to pay two or three times more money to get the same performance from any comp...

Hi Emigene, I believe that you are talking about the 3 best amplifier brands in the world. Sovereign, Soulution and Tidal are my top 3 brands...After those 3 i would put Gryphon (for their power amps, I don't know anything about their preamps).Ano...

Emigene I believe you must contact them directly to arrange for an audition.Aaron and Sovereign brands are the same people so that you know...

I am using the Sovereign Director with a Sovereign Power for amplification. I guarantee that if you cover them with a blanket many people will not be able to say whether it is tube or solid state amplifiers. Just to give a hint I dislike most tube...

Tbg, no I haven't heard the Ypsilon gear but other people that I know and trust their opinion are not that impressed. For example an ex-Wavac distributor told me that the Wavac PR-X2 was clearly better preamplifier than the Ypsilon pre when they c...

Tbg, having heard both Tidal Preos and Presencio I agree with Karel that they are simply the number one and number two preamps in the world. The only preamp I would rate close to Preos is the Sovereign Director. Nothing else..And let' not forget t...

Tidal electronics are fantastic but the Sovereign are the best value for money amplifiers in the world (especially the preamplifier). They are also more musical than the Tidal Electronics but always being exremely neutral

I will drive the Tidal Piano with a set of Sovereign amplifiers and Argento Flow Cables.My Dac is an Orpheus Dac One but I will replace it in the future. Potential buys are the Stylos, DCS Debussy, Emm Labs Dac2 
Volent VL-2, Hyperion 968 or Acoustic Zen Adagio
Just to give you an idea, I use a 17.000 Euros set of amplifiers to drive my Hyperion 938. The better the amplifiers you are using the best the result you will get. Hyperions belong in a higher class than their retail price would imply so try to d... 
Has anyone listened the new Argento Flow?
Unfortunately I didn't.
