In the audio playback world, listening to records involves so many other factors besides just the record and turntable – so many accessories are needed to produce the best sound and performance possible.
The irony is, the GoldenEar Triton One.R couldn’t exist without both the Triton One predecessor and the newer Triton Reference, yet in my mind, the One.R is the quintessential version that combines the best of both versions.
Having the living room remodeled and re-arranged presented a “Golden” opportunity to address the TV viewing and the audio system in the main living space of the house.
Dali Callisto is such an innovative product, after accepting an invitation to hear the system that included the 6C floor-standing version, I immediately worked on getting a pair of the stand-mounted 3-way powered 2C monitor.
Stunning in Aria Blue, the Persona 3F speaker is the “smallest” of the full-range floorstanding speaker line that includes the larger 5F, 7F, and powered 9H. The 9H also includes the amazing Anthem room-correction ARC software.
As a kid I wasn’t frugal with money, but so glad my brother was. He worked and saved to buy audio gear that I was able to enjoy. I was hooked on hifi. When I graduated from college, I rewarded myself with a pair of KEF speakers and a Denon Turntable and amplifier. They were my prized possessions. Today as an architect, my passion for music and film match my joy for architecture - art is art. Involved with Secrets for many years now, I’m able to enjoy some great gear and I do love it all, analog (vinyl and tubes) and digital (high-res and solid state). My approach to reviewing is with an openness and unbiased enthusiasm as I do think the art of high fidelity is subjective. Whether you believe the goal of hifi equipment is to capture the quality of a live performance or to faithfully reproduce the artist’s studio recording isn’t relevant, it’s the pure enjoyment at all levels that matter.
