It is very good to see the Raven Pre Amp has began to get a following and committed purchases.
I await in eager anticipation the user reports from adding this design into their home systems
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.
The Raven does get my curiosity going into overtime. The idea of experiencing one in use is quite an attraction, the idea of one with the owned 845 mono's well that just double cool 😎😎. All that I have come to know about the design intent to the working model has been a thoroughly good read, and the entirety of my local HiFi Group were supplied the Link, to share in the content of the Thread. |
UK is now linked to Mainland Europe with a Trainline one service for high speed Pedestrian Transportation and another to replace the use of a Ferry Crossing for Vehicles. The idea of Plane to Paris is not the commonly used idea anymore, the Train is very popular. The Ferry suits those with additional time and on a tighter budget to transport a Vehicle. I was listening to a Tim de Paravicini designed 300b Power Amp' yesterday, was using E88CC Input Tubes and had undergone modifications to utilise Interstage Tranx's in the circuit. Very enjoyable it was too as an experience. The Pre Amp' was a DIY Built Pass design using a Khozmo VC. I made all who were at the audition aware of this Thread and the other, the Raven is further spoken off within the UK. |
@phono2024 Perhaps you could share how other experiences had of 'Poking the Bee Hive' turned out for you. |
It is not a secret on the Gon, that I am an advocate of PC Triple C wire used in a Audio System. Today I have heard it used for nearly every role a Wire is to be used, In all the demonstrations had, the use of it has been impressive and without doubt a worthwhile exchange. Big Brand names are onto it, and the wire as Bulk Purchase is becoming harder to find. I have also been introducing others to PC Triple C wire, with the result being they have taken to it more intensively than my own practices, hence all the additional uses I have been introduced to. In the early days of usage, I purchased a Power Cable at approx' £150 per metre length, and terminated it with Pure Copper Connectors. This same cable when introducing the wire to others was loaned out for extended periods. The users of the Power Cable are by nature experimental, they also produce Audio Equipment as a Cottage Type Industry, where small quantities are the objective. Comparisons took place as my loaned cable, prompted a few Brands of Cable to be purchased. 1mtr Lengths of Cables were purchased with a Top Value Cable being mine and others being close to £100 and less. The surprise was, that a Power Cable near the lower end of price range was the one that most impressed across a few systems the Comparisons took place on. As Power Chords are of interest in this thread, and I am sharing interest in this thread. The Link is the Power Chord with Pure Copper Connections the group of listeners took to the most.

@donsachs I'll keep my eyes peeled and update if the opportunity is once more available. There are regular droughts with the supply of PC Triple C, when not paying the high premiums as a asking price that can be seen.
