Description

I've been on this journey for a couple of years. It has taken me many places where I initially started with Swiss gear (Goldmund / Orpheus Lab) and then got enchanted with Tubes (Hence the original name for my virtual system - Move to Tubes). I was heavily into Zanden and Wavac for some years until I found Tidal Audio. This is by far the BEST electronics on the planet, and as you can see, I have slowly moved to an almost complete Tidal Suite. Sound is shockingly transparent and is glorious to listen to... Where will I go to next? Either try analogue (that I have been resisting) or find a good Computer audio system (that I am currently researching but can't seem to find anything on par)...

Mveloo congrats once again!

Have you compared the Vakian to the Orpheus Heritage? I had the pleasure of auditioning it the previous week and and it was such a joy!

Happy Listening,

Mike

I have also listened to Wavac MD-805m with Contriva and the sound was pure magic. Of course there were limited dynamics and SPL's but it was still AMAZING.

I just hope the Wavacs are going to be enough for my Piano Cera. If not I will probably go for the Sovereign Glory power amp!

Kind Regards,

Mike

Congrats Mveloo on the Tidal monoblocks! The were performing exceptionally this year in Munich Show with the Sunray!

I finally decided to go to with the Piano Cera due to room size! I will be getting it this summer! :) Please keep informed on the Tidal monoblocks!

I would also be interested to know what improvements you gained from the Grimm as I am considering buying it!

Happy Listening,

Mike

I will definetely join Audio Exotics soon!

Cheers,

I think the PR-T1 will be killer with the Tidal monoblocks. The 833 with the PR-T1 will be very tubey for my tastes!

I am probably buying the Contriva next month and I will be driving it with Sovereign Glory and Wavac PR-T1. Killer as well!

Happy Listening,

Mike

Mveloo thanks for your answer!

So the Wavac isnt enough for you? What are you thinking of buying?

Happy Listening,

Congrats in your great system, the Tidal Contriva is going to be my next speaker purchase! I have heard it with the MD-805m and I was ready to cry listening to "Soldier of Fortune" by Whitesnake!

You must be in paradise!

Happy Listening,

Mike
