Aries Cerat is a leading company in audio. No compromise attitude, on everything they make. They're more into (innovative and passionately designed and constructed) horn speakers and their amping electronics are mostly supporting this concept but their dacs, having to stay true to the task of uncompromised dynamics, clarity and musicality, have grown-up to an exquisite level of quality too.
I think the story here is Aries Cerat. Organic sound. That DAC looks like an old concept taken to the extreme... lot's of vintage AD1865N-K chips in parallel with great power supplies, triode output and transformer I/V. Results are pretty organic.
Dude you are lucky Jay. I was going to try to get to the show this year but with my commercial real estate company I own it's just not possible. I go listen at different dealers but not the vast amounts of equipment available to hear at the shows.
Wilson Benesch has almost cult status. Very few dealers in UK even though they are manufactured here, even including all the drive units! Very interested to know what Jay thinks compared to his Wilson experiences.
My first pair of 'propah' speakers were little Wilson Benesch Arc standmounts. And they sounded amazing. Too long ago to remember the date- 1990 sumthin'... Anf it looks like they have now finally gotten around to targeting the US market, and all I'll say is the usual suspects better be ready because these are really special products. Thx 4 all your coverage Jay🍻
Extremely Penetrating Vocals in this Room! Tried 3 different sets of Headphones! All sounded Spectacular! The longer the Show goes on the Better Dialing In the Setups Gets! Another Good Find Jay!
do they have the rear-facing speaker element fabric cover. for that are so ugly to see. for a shield does not affect as much as the elements do normal cases. I think.

Any great speaker would benefit from Aries Cerat amazing dense and organic sounding
Ok

No dealers in the UK now. I think you just deal with the company direct now, they arrange a home-dem.

Top 5 room this year!
Ask them to play Baby King from same album
Clear vocals, tight bass. Good presentation. Maybe a little bright for some. But I like it. Ugly speakers tho.
A great recording

Certainly a very different presentation compared with the Magico’s. Each to his own. No comments from Jay
Damn!!! 💥💥💥

Are they all starting to sound alike yet?
A bit too rich for me but that might be the room.
Sounds great but I’m not fan of the looks 😊
Enjoyable. A little hi fi ish sounding, but enjoyable.
