No I have not.Enjoy tho as class D is my favorite topology moving forward.Can the Aavik stream at reference level ? and does the phono stage compete with 3-5k separates?I am not aware of the Aavik capabilities.All I can say is John at Bel canto has been designing all in ine devices for almost 3 decades so I had to finally try a piece that was entry into there really high end and man I am glad I did

you mean the wall behind them?2ft with superb results thats the beauty of them.Dont believe what you read until you are actually able to try as you would be surprised just how easy they place if space is limited as so many are.

absolutely and I truly love it more than anything for the sound and overall capability.When you think of it if the big ego 500 pd amp owner want to compare.Bel canto and going up the black line is the most expensive equip on the planet at close to $1000 per pd😅 lol your paying for design and precise engineering from ann amazing mind and ear-not parts and chassis weight🤷with the final product being music that can bring you to tears

@@greatlookinglandscap Haven't heard much from Bel Canto that I haven't liked, and I'm only familiar with their older amps. I'm sure the new stuff sounds amazing. Cheers!!!

@@terrywho22Ya he used ice modules for years now ncore implemented for quite some time as he prefers them over purifi for his goals

yes why?

@@greatlookinglandscap Just wondered what they were. Have you owned the original Totem model 1 signatures for example ?

One just sold two days ago in usa for 4500.Mine will be traded back to dealer if I go ahead as I wouldnt sell mine for that as it is only a few mths old.The cantos are king.I have been down a very long road had the 100pd ego boosting monos and so many components had it all tube ,class a,bc,d g ,z 🤣the canto tuning all ready done 21st crntury SET no more stress trying the nail pairings or a bunch of bulk I am way beyond that .I have faith that cutting edge tech is king when done right.The e1x will shock you even the phono stage is sooooo good

@@greatlookinglandscap I tried to buy that one, but I just missed it. I’m really looking forward to it, and I’ve decided to just buy new if one doesn’t pop up on the used market in the next two months.

@@SouthTXTravelerWell if you made me a good offer that makes sense we could make a deal.Im original owner a few mths old

@@greatlookinglandscap great. Give me a couple months to see if an older one pops up and save up funds for one as new as yours. Let’s circle back at the end of September or so. What’s your timeline to upgrade to the black? I’ve always felt these new digitals were ready to give high end amps a run for their money. I have some friends who love amps they’ve recently bought from Orchard Audio.

@@SouthTXTravelerYes the trade with the dealer will happen well before two mths if I go with it.I had the 3k orchard amp and premium streamer here if u scroll back on my video library .Orchard are very good for the money but bel canto design is all proprietary tech well beyond just the boards.Its a different level in quality in sound and feeling and it should be.Much higher level audio equipment.I say some of the most advanced on the planet.And it just works🤣Not just a run for there money they should just run and hide.I feel for the amps that weigh hundreds of pds I have been there its just and ego box nothing more.There is cutting edge tech that exceeds the performance with no fear of possible repair down the road and shipping bulk.For me now its plain stupid and less is more.Its 2024!
