CES 2013: Scaena, Veloce and Kronos
Shown at CES with the new monos from Veloce Audio, the long-awaited but-still-not-quite-here Saetta amps and a Veloce LS-1 ($18k) preamplifier. A pair of Silver Circle Tchaik 6 conditioners fed the subwoofers and AMR source gear.
Sitting squarely atop the audio rack was my favorite turntable — the magnificent Kronos Turntable ($32k). This thing is so cool to watch — the counter-rotating platters are mesmerizing. It’s like watching a fire. You can practically feel your soul being sucked out of your eyeballs. I … can’t … look … away …. Man, oh man, I have got to get my hands on one of these. Yo! Louis Desjardins! You out there, pal? Hook a brother up! Hello? [tap, tap] Is this thing on? Hmmpf. Fine then ….
