Description

It's taken quite awhile to get to this point... one which I feel is a synergy that is and will be giving long term MUSICAL satisfaction.

Unfortunately there is no "one way" to get that synergy. The best advice out there (obvious but not always followed)... absolutely, positively, one must audition equipment before spending a single cent.

The Escalante Fremont's are new and beyond expectation. First heard them at CES '06. I listened and compared every day I was at the show. Did 6 more months of listening and comparing, then I decided to purchase them.

Components Toggle details

    • Einstein The Last Record Player
    Replaced tubes with Falcon labled Siemens.
    • Art Audio dm-vps (balanced version)
    A match made in Heaven with the Claytons... or at least until the Clayton pre becomes available.
    • Clayton Audio M-200's
    200 watts of SS Class A love...
    • Jorma Design No. 2
    Copper cables with the natural organic warmth one would expect and the added bonus of refined, fatigue free hi-resolution.
    • Marten Design Birds
    89db @ 6ohms. The diamond tweeter is a revelation.
    • Purist Audio Designs and Isoclean.. Auditioning all models of both.
    Purist to the line conditioner and amplifiers, Isoclean everywhere else.
    • Isoclean Model 80A3
    I'm in a condo complex with 183 other units. Line conditioning is an absolute necessity. The Isoclean has given me what I've been searching for... finally.
    • Finite Elemente Pagode
    Set it and forget it. Easy to adjust the heighth of each shelf. Fit and finish is top-notch.
    • Isoclean fuses and outlets
    These 2 accessories build upon what the line conditioner does so well. The music flows with a natural organic quality that is quite beguiling, BUT never euphonic or slow. Nothing about the music is sacrificed to create an absolutely fatigue-free sound.

Beautiful system, I continue to be surprised by the quality of systems Audiogon members post here.

I always wanted to listen to the Audio Aero in my system but the opportunity never presented itself.

Between the Purist, the tubes, the Grand Prix stands and the Audio Aero you must have excellent sound.
