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.
@fthompson251 What preamp are you currently using with your CODA S5.5? I am looking forward to hearing your take on the Raven preamp with the CODA. I have the CODA #16 amp. My long-range plan is to have a tube preamp in this system. A thank you to the 2 preamp designers for your comments on this thread and on AudioCircle. BTW - How close to the Raven preamp do you need to be for the remote to work?

I will be buying the Raven preamp (which has CanCon) and also spending 6 weeks up in Toronto this summer. Spending my money in the Canadian economy to fight the good fight. My young son is a picky eater, and it seems he likes a lot of stuff that is grown in Canada (buying in Costco). We will pay that extra 25% and support Canada. Will be buying Canadian as much as I can from here in the USA. |
@phono2024 Congrats on the Raven and I am happy to hear that it sounds great with the Tyr monos. I have the latest Schitt Wotan amp, and it is really good. A small powerful beast of an amp. I will rotate the Raven between 2 systems anchored by the Wotan and the CODA #16. Both amps allow for the easy integration of 2 preamps with a front toggle switch for RCA and XLR. Perfect for the Raven and another preamp. You mentioned in your post that you also use your Yamaha integrated as a second preamp. You may want to check out the new Schitt Kara F for $799. I received it a few days ago and it is a very good preamp. Once taxes are done, I can start thinking about the Raven.
