Spatial Audio Raven Preamp


Spatial is supposed to be shipping the first "wave" from pre orders of this preamplifier in May, does anyone have one on order? Was hoping to hear about it from AXPONA but I guess they were not there. It's on my list for future possibilities. It seems to check all my boxes if I need a preamp.

I'm looking to purchase the pre within the near future, it seems to be the top option in my price range. Just looking at the Raven on the Spatial site I saw that it uses two 6AX4 rectifiers. If you don't mind me asking, why that rectifier and not one of the units that are popular with tube rollers, such as the 5U4G, 274B, or the GZ34?Would they not work with the design, or too expensive, etc?  Thanks.

I hear you, airports and airlines can be overcrowded, and who knows what is floating around. Sorry to hear you need the rolling assist to get around in airport, those walks can be brutal in some airports. Is Amtrak really no more…?

“I noticed today they raised the price from $5495 to $5895”

 

Damn. I was saving up to order one. It was really pricey for me before, now it’s just too much, I’m out. I guess I figure out what’s the second best choice. Oh well. 

Geez,it went from $5,495 in August, to $6,395, with a proposed $150 tariff to be passed on to potential customers. $That's a $1,050 price increase in six months.
