“20/20 Evolution Systems demmed a fancy shiny expensive system that sounded almost as good as it looked—which is to say—fantastic.”
Up front were my favorite Tidal loudspeakers, the Piano G2 Diacera ($39,900/pair), connected by Cardas Clear Beyond cables. There was a LampizatOr Golden Atlantic Dac ($10,530), an Aurender N10 music server ($8499), a Kuzma Stabi Reference 2 turntable ($10,720), with a 4Point tonearm ($6775), and a Kuzma CAR-50 cartridge. Amplification was the Conrad-Johnson GAT Series 2 preamplifier (Limited Edition $24,000), and C-J’s big, beautiful ART300 monoblock amplifiers (Limited Edition $38,000/pair).
