Cavalli Audio Liquid Tungsten Preview

UPDATE: 4/12/2017 ā€“ Ainā€™t she beautiful?

Quick post on Cavalli Audioā€˜s upcoming flagship headphone amplifier. I typically like to see beautiful things with their clothes off but in this case, please dress this thing up already Cavalli! šŸ˜›

My impression was that it didnā€™t quite sound like what weā€™d expect from a tube amp (which isnā€™t a bad thing) but it still had this very silky, smooth articulation and ā€œanalog-ishā€ presentation. Iā€™m not sure if my ears were playing tricks on me but the soundstage also seemed a bit wider than I remember on some of the tracks. Dynamics were on point and vocals had this very sultry and natural body. Instruments and singers were well delineated and the overall tonal balance was accurate.

If youā€™re in SoCal, listen to the Liquid Tungsten yourself at The Source AV. Amazing guys there.

Iā€™ll have to update this post once I get more hours on this but thereā€™s definitely something very special about this amp. Stay tuned!Ā
