Spatial Audio Raven Preamp

Hello Don,

Thank you very much for your advice.

I will ask David (Spatial Audio).

Regards.

Just checking to see if anyone has any reviews on their newly purchased Raven preamp in their system.

@brbrock I got the Spatial Pre and Mono's. In itself I couldn't say the Ravin is the cat's PJ's as I'm thrilled with the whole system/room the Raven pre is the heart of.

I was able to compare the Spatial suite to 1.) a Lumin Amp w/ Lumin X1 and 2,) a Roger's KWM-88 MK2 Integrated Amplifier with the Lumin X1 and also a Grimm MU1/Weiss 501. Speakers are K horns and REL subs. Power is treated and ethernet is all cleaned up (After rack shows up, will update systems).

The Spatial suite using the Grimm MU1 is the best of the three. It's more musical and there's no listening fatigue. Nothing wrong with the others.  May let Lumin stuff go but not the Rodgers.

(After warm up) I can turn up the volume and with nothing playing standing a half and inch away from a speaker I can't hear anything,

The Ravin is tops. If your speakers are efficient enough the Raven Pre and Blackbird Monos are synergistic masterpieces. There's a waiting list for a reason. I got more than I paid for. Happy camper!

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.
