Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600

I have been using a Leben cs600 for many years with DeVore O93 speakers.  My brother who is quite a gifted musician ( mainly Trumpet but some woodwinds as well) recently acquired a Raven Osprey and cannot stop gushing about its tonality and sweetness.  I would love to hear it side by side with my Leben but unfortunately he lives 2000 miles away in Montana.  I wonder if anyone has had the chance to hear both of these integrated amplifiers?  If so I would be interested in your impressions.

Thanks.

My Leben is the CS600; so little opportunity to roll the pre-amp tubes.  In fact hard t find replacements.

I have rolled the power tubes and currently am running Tesla EL34's which are quite nice.

This is very helpful.

The Leben also allows for endless tube rolling.

One other amp he liked was the AudioNote UK Cobra.

He went with the Raven as he did not need the internal DAC in the AudioNote.

I really appreciate the input.
