One of the Best Sounding rooms at this year's event goes to the TIDAL Piano Cera loudspeakers, Preos preamp and Impact amplifier.
Digital playback was by way of a dCS Puccini/UClock combo and the overall sonic effect was refined, smooth and ultra-musical. In a word: EASY.
I've grown a strong affection for these Piano Ceras over the years and now have a pair under review (stay tuned).
My time spent has only deepened my respect for TIDAL products and its designer Jorn Janczak.

Tidal was showing their budget speakers, the Tidal Piano Cera powered by Tidal solid-state electronics. Front end was a laptop computer playing into a dCS Paganini DAC.
I noted that the system was well composed on even the most complex and dynamic musical peaks. There was plenty of refinement too.

TVTI exhibited at Capital Audiofest in July 2011 held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Rockville Maryland. We showed the TIDAL Piano Diacera and Amea speakers, TIDAL Preos and Impact electronics, dCS Pucinni Player and Pucinni uclock front end including the new, and highly regarded, Debussy DAC. John Atkinson of Stereophile says... "It doesn't get much better than this!" (read it here).

The TIDAL Piano Cera was chosen as "Product of the Year 2011" in the category 'loudspeaker' at the recent show in Moscow. Due to it's acoustical performance and it's outstanding overall quality the Piano Cera was chosen by eight independent magazines like the "Audio Magazine", "HiFi News" and "Audio-Video".
Starting now all TIDAL models come with the BCC-Drivers which are exclusively made for TIDAL by Thiel & Partner (Accuton). In addition, the models Piano Cera, Amea and Contriva are equipped with a graphite-ceramic tweeter. Also, exclusively made for TIDAL by Thiel & Partner (Accuton), the black coated drivers harmonize extraordinarily with our midnight black piano finish, as well as our veneer piano finish cabinets. But that is for us just a nice side effect and closes the circle to offer an outstanding product in Sound, Finish and Design.

After five fun filled days at CES, TVTI installed the first TIDAL Audio Sunray Master Reference system in North America. Several of these awesome systems are installed throughout Europe and Asia. The system is configured with a pair of TIDAL Sunray speakers in Pyramid Mahogany finish, a TIDAL Presencio Preamp that accommodates three phono inputs (yes the client has two tables and three arms), two pair of TIDAL Impact Monobloc amps and TIDAL LPX active crossover. Argento Serenity Reference, FLOW and FLOW Master Reference Cables provided the connectivity throughout. After a two day setup by the manufacturer's professional installation team from Germany, and yours truly, the system performed in stellar fashion fresh out of the box as all TIDAL products do. This very special and highly musical system is in place and the client is extremely happy. I can't wait to revisit once the system has several hundred hours on it.

The Voice That Is joined TIDAL Audio in exhibiting at the RMAF in Denver Colorado. Jason Victor Serinus states, and we paraphrase, the TIDAL Piano Diacera touches my emotions. Here's what reviewers had to say about our room featuring the TIDAL Piano Diacera Speakers, TIDAL Preos and Impact Electronics; Argento Cables and dCS SACD/CD Player: "Some of my happiest sonic experiences at RMAF arrived in the last two rooms I visited: the Tidal Audio/Argento Audio Cables/dCS showcase put together by Doug White of The Voice That Is (Newtown Square, PA)... At the end of my time in the room, I wrote in my notebook, "Marvelous transparency. None of that gray 'whuh' sound that passes for a midrange...Tidal easily won my #3 Personal Best of the Show. I loved the sound. "
Jason Victor Serinus - Stereophile RMAF Show Report
My notes tell me that I was impressed by the system's clean highs and deep, well-controlled bass. The overall sound was marked by excellent three-dimensionality and spatial effects with outstanding transparency and image focus, but didn't have the transient speed of some other rooms.
Stephen Mejias - Stereophile RMAF 2010 Show Report
"I'd have to say the Argento Audio and Tidal Audio Room was my favorite, as I have been smitten with Tidal's loudspeakers."
