| Heartsound ground boxes @orthobiz I am still experimenting—the Holostage placements. I started out placing them on my audio components, but that didn't impress me. I do not have any shelving to place them on. I have one on each crossover box, which is 24" off the gr... | |
| Heartsound ground boxes @orthomead Please elaborate on the location of your Holostage boxes. Did you find the sweet spot right away, or has it been a matter of trial and error? I have 12 Holostages and one grounding box. I have two pure silver wires going from the ... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I am done and enjoying the music. I used to spend 1 hour every day on Audiogon and 2 hours on WBF, scouring all of the information I could find. I have gone from a $10k system to an all-Aries Cerat sytem ( Essentia, Ageto, Kassandra, and Aurora ... | |
| 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... |
