Components Toggle details

    • Aries Cerat Kassandra MkII Gen 1 DAC
    A DAC like no other - music starts from this masterpiece. 

    Only vinyl via Aries Cerat Talos phono stage has bettered it (as well as the more expensive Aries Cerat DACs). 

    Simply cannot imagine a truly high-end system being complete without the emotion making machine of Aries Cerat. 
    • Aries Cerat Impera Signature 2 Preamp
    The Impera Signature 2 Preamp uses the Aries Cerat Inverted Triode technology for the ultimate achievement in musical presentation 
    Words are hard to describe the sound.
    • Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia Power Amp (Dual Mono)
    Ianus Essentia (40W) (Dual Mono)

    Uses the innovative Triode-Fet technology of Aries Cerat.
    Single Ended Design - It is not only Single Ended, but it is also a Single Stage! There is no driver stage and no input stage!

    After listening to this amplifier, all other amps (almost all other) sound flawed.
    It delivers so much purity and a presentation that is so alive that you are transported to the concert hall.
    • Aries Cerat Stentor
    The one and only pair of Stentors ever made. 

    A privilege to be able to listen to this most magnificent pair of box loudspeakers.

    Thank you to Stavros Danos of Aries Cerat for the design and trust.

Dear Orfeo,

Indeed Aries Cerat electronics and speakers take musical reproduction to another level.

I have since added an Aries Cerat Impera Signature Pre-Amp, and the Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia power amps, for an all Aries Cerat system - a real joy! (time to update the photos).

The Aries Cerat Stentor is an extremely musical speaker - this is the only pair made by Aries Cerat. As I understand it, the manufacturing cost was too high to make it a production model (its retail price should have been >euro 30,000). It is a sealed box boss design delivering fast bass, with a Raal ribbon tweeter, and a non-horn conventional midrange driver. Of course the genius of Stavros Danos is in the crossover design that delivers a live musical experience - such is the integration between the drivers. Of course the Symphonia horn speaker is at an altogether different level but also at a different price!
