  Tidal Speakers owners
Could you please write your impressions about the Tidal speakers you currently own ? I will probably buy the Tidal Piano Cera in the near future so I would appreciate your feedback...

I will drive the Tidal Piano with a set of Sovereign amplifiers and Argento Flow Cables.My Dac is an Orpheus Dac One but I will replace it in the future. Potential buys are the Stylos, DCS Debussy, Emm Labs Dac2

Tidal electronics are fantastic but the Sovereign are the best value for money amplifiers in the world (especially the preamplifier). They are also more musical than the Tidal Electronics but always being exremely neutral

I am using the Sovereign Director with a Sovereign Power for amplification. I guarantee that if you cover them with a blanket many people will not be able to say whether it is tube or solid state amplifiers. Just to give a hint I dislike most tube amplifiers (except the power amplifiers by Wavac) but these babies make the Tidal set to sound kind of dry in comparison....

The way a friend describes it is that he would use the Preos in a studio for the remastering of a production and then he would use the Director at home to listen to it.

Anyway keep your eyes open in case you get the option to audition them.

03-19-10: Geopolitis
Hi Emigene,

I believe that you are talking about the 3 best amplifier brands in the world. Sovereign, Soulution and Tidal are my top 3 brands...

After those 3 i would put Gryphon (for their power amps, I don't know anything about their preamps).

Another candidate for the best amplifier in the world would be the new Orpheus Labs Privilege Series but haven't heard them yet...

Calloway,

congrats for buying your final speaker ever. Next step is the Argento Flow cables (or even better FMR).

Tbg,

I have tried the Stealth Indra and Dream Petite, Echole Obsession interconnect and speaker cable, Synergistic Research Accelerator interconnect (a Special Edition that a friend bought from thecableco.com and is much better than the normal, close to Apex) , Purist Audio Design 20th Anniversary interconnect, Argento Serenity, Argento Serenity SE, Argento Serenity Reference, Argento Serenity Master Reference and some other less high end brands...

03-25-10: Geopolitis
Calloway,

even the Argento Flow is much much better cable than the SMR. Of course SMR is already fantastic if you compare it with most of the other cables...

you are a very lucky guy. I have heard the Sunray a few times and I find it unique in every aspect. Anything else sounds fake...

Linc,

I heard the Tidal Piano Cera this weekend in a friend's house (first pair sold in Greece). It had played only for 50 hours but already showed its potential. The best speaker in the world for its size? Quite possibly... I have never heard anything coming even close... I do have this feeling that it might be better than the Contriva too (not the Diacera of course)!!
