| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT When I furst upgraded my DAC from a Lumin X-1 to Lampi Pacific with a Synoogy 8tb and Lumin U2 I was terribly disappointed in the Lampi. I felt the sound of the X-1 was really close to the Pacific. After researching many Servers/Streamers, I ca... | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer I would upgrade both. Any Lampi product you can afford and Lucas Audio MS. I found the Lucas Audio MS made an incredible difference in my system. | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread Mark I have a hard time understanding how a sluggo could be directional. I assume there are no wires, and it is just a solid piece of Copper, silver, Graphene, or other. I have two SDFB with Graphene sluggoos for my Aries Cerat Dac and Lucas Au... | |

| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Ozzy I found a small, immediate improvement in my Aries Cerat Kassandra two Reference DAC. In general, I think at least 50 hours and many people would say you need 300 for any tweak to totally settle in. | |
| Holy Holostages!! I have had 8 holostages for the last 8 months. I have placed them on all of my components and crossovers in my system. i have two sitting on a shelf behind me. I have an all-Aries Cerat system, so it is hard to hear improvements in SQ. I know ... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse I have a Aries Cerat Kassandra 2 DAC and Lucas Audio LDMS music server with OEM fuses, The Kassandra requires two fuses and the LDMS requires one. Has anyone placed a Master fuse in their DAC and Server at the same time? If you were to place in... | |
| SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT I tested Inakustic, Tchernov, and Hijiri and a couple of others. I ended up with Hijiri and they are a great cable. I would go with speaker cables first. I have since upgraded to QSA Ultimatum Infinity Speaker cables and they are in another str... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs I have had over 24 HFT's. The only ones I have left are the ones on the ceiling and the only reason I still have those is I can't reach them. Save your money. | |
| Adona Equipment Racks I have had an Adona rack for a couple of years. Paul was great to work with and the product delivered was of high quality materials. I was able to sell all of my Townshend pods as a result. | |
| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? If anyone wants to hear a full Aries Cerat system and is visiting the Phoenix area I have Essentia, Ageto, Kassandra, and Aurora in the house. | |
| Aries-Cerat Helene Review @tonywinga --Are you a member of What's Best Forum? If so, there is an Aries Cerat forum that has many reviews of Aries Cerat equipment. I will chronicle my journey on that forum under Aurora speakers. I suspect I will get around to do that wit... | |
| Aries-Cerat Helene Review First impresssion of Kassandra 2 Ref vs Lampizator Horizon. This was based on my old speakers ---Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Dual Horn speakers. My amp and Preamp are both Aries Cerat Essentia and Ageto. My music server is a critical part of my... | |
| Aries-Cerat Helene Review Many people will say nothing compares to Vinyl but Digital is getting better and better and if you can find a DAC / Server combination the results are pretty awesome. Thanks for your analysis of Vinyl vs Digital | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal After originally posting this thread three years ago I still have both Tidal and Qobuz. I do prefer Qobuz for overall sound quality but there really is not that much of a difference. Sometimes, an artist is not available on Q so then I use Tidal... |
