| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? Way back in the Stone Age, we used to go to customers homes to test set up. Complete with DB meters and test records! We'd discover the funniest things! We are now on our own with sometimes increasingly complex systems. What possibly could go wron... | |
| SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF (To Josepad) So I will try and turn off bass bypass on my integrated so full signal is sent to my mains again and set "Low Pass Filter" on SVS Pro2000 at "ON". Then set SVS "Low Pass Filter" to 35 hz or so. Sound right? | |
| SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF Yes, of course 80 hz was my intention, and as usual for me its the most obvious stuff I miss. Glad I randomly discovered my mistake. Sure is much better. Now to put more Nano goop on my contacts! Any obvious advice on this sub I might have missed ... | |
| SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF Super good tip! My mains are Klipsch Lascala (II) so the bass is weak. The amazing thing is that the music sounds so much more "organic" (if you can imagine what I mean by that). Cohesive may be an even more unhelpful word but whatever...I like it... | |
| I can’t hear the Difference in the change the low pass filter or the volume on my SVS subs Let me start by saying I've incorporated a SVS Pro2000 sealed box sub into my system. My Raven integrated has a sub out which allows an 80 db filter to keep my Klipsch Lascalas from trying to do what they do poorly anyway. Plus my amp no longer ne... | |
| American Made Audio Products Raven Audio in Trinity Texas builds a USA tube amp that I've owned for a couple years now. (Very human/natural sounding) The upgrades are done in New York by a tech you can talk to! However, as with many such products not everything comes from the... | |
| Fezz vs Raven I've owned the Raven Nighthawk for at least 5 years now. As a tube newbie I made every mistake imaginable. Wrong tubes in wrong spot, ran without a speaker connected. put too much nano contact enhancer on everything, This unit is super well built ... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier Raven Audio provides a relatively inexpensive Integrated tube amp that provides 20 solid watts with a sub out which relieves the amp of needing to pump out those low frequencies, Some positives are 1) Texas based company 2) The owners take persona... | |
| Vibration Control Using Vera-Fi Very Black Holes (VBHs) Love your experimentation! I had the same delayed effect with Bybee wooden cube thingee, Sometimes "stuff" needs to settle in. I've also applied Mad Scientist Nano goop to excellent result. Recently took the plunge and had the Mad Scientist make a... | |
| Upgrade Digital Cable Review I think any $500 digital cable (well built and peer reviewed) probably would have performed significantly better than the $100 cable I had used, However, not being able to listen to 100's of cables, I took a leap and bought that Black Magic ULTRA ... | |
| Older Power Cables It isn't uncommon for folks who are enjoying nice rigs to stay clear of the power cable upgrade black hole. My Audiolab CDT6000 (CD transport) had a stock power cord supplied with unit. On a whim, I ordered a Pangea power cord from Audio Advisors ... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 By the way. the owner of Raven Audio Dave Thomson keeps a stash of awesome NOS tubes to cater to his "Raven Heads" so you always have a reliable source of perfect tubes to keep the unit singing at its very best. Plus each tube has its own sound si... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 No balanced input which is so sad but Raven Audio is so good I've had to compromise. Actually I haven't noticed the difference since the quality is distracting me from my normal OCD tendencies. Wonderful presence and "human-ness" if you can imagin... | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? When I had my first job in the "Electronic Sound" (yes, that actually was the name of a Grand Rapids based 'stereo' store), I brought home the McIntosh speakers to try out. I had the tangent tracking bang olufsen turntable, some Luxman pre-amp, e... | |
| Turntable Isolation I had the trouble too with loose floor. I created a suspended platform held up by bungee cords attached to 4 small pillars at each corner. The idea is to put an appropriately sized board held up only by the four bungee cords threaded through those... |
