| NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp @yogiboy - yep, sure did. @cey - great thought... text has been sent! @russ69 - good to know there are high quality new production tubes out there as an option; the NOS tubes are getting rarer and WAYY too expensive! @skiznfliz - you're the se... | |
| NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp Thanks for the reply @larryi , yes - the loading on both the Technics onboard phono stage and the QS is 47k ohms (which is what the cart calls for). Unfortunately, neither have the ability to change loading settings. Regarding the telefunkens ... | |
| NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp Thanks @russ69 , I will look into the Gold Lyons. Quick follow-up: were those Gold Lyons you put into your Rogue NOS or new run? Also, if you've found a good place to buy some, can you please pass it along? @dekay, waiting to see how it sounds... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? So here’s my two cents: REL subs are wonderful and generally integrate into a 2 channel hifi system easier/more seamlessly than other subs. HOWEVER, they accomplish this by tapping into speaker level. Because my amp (Raven Audio Osprey) has a high... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room There are many great speakers that have already been mentioned (I’ve heard amazing things about the Fleetwood Devilles). But here are two more for your consideration: 1. Raven Audio Corvus Reference Monitors - I am currently running these in my s... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @ditusa , the article you posted mentions several times that balanced operation was developed to make super long telephone line runs possible and adopted by the pro-audio industry for long cable runs between the mics and subsequent electronics. So... | |
| Leaving tube amps on. I have a Raven Audio Osprey with NOS tubes and have asked myself this same question many times. The simple solution that I've come to is: if I'm running the amp, I leave it on for at least 1 hour. This is easy to accomplish because most albums are... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I did an A-B test with the LS50 Metas and the Raven Audio Corvus Monitors (full review here). While the much more expensive Corvus Monitors won in the end, the LS50 Metas held their own very well and were QUITE impressive (especially considering t... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 +1 @larryi Unless you are dealing with a long cable run (say 15ft or more), you will spend a lot more money and never hear the benefit of balanced inputs. It's easy to get obsessed with specs, but how the amp is voiced matters WAY MORE than its ... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 Raven Audio all the way! Their tube amps and selection of NOS tubes are second to none. I wrote a full review on my journey to find the best tube amp here (spoiler alert: Raven Audio blows Prima Luna and McIntosh out of the water). If your speak... | |
| Need help with phono cartridge selection I have a nag mp-200 and I am continually stunned by how amazing it sounds... I've had it for coming up on a year now and it remains outstanding (even more now that it's broken-in). My plan was always to start with the mp-200 so I could save a li... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. @carlsbad2 has a point here... I have a friend who asked me to spec out an audiophile-grade vinyl system for at/under $1k.... I thought I could do it, but it's really not possible. I've found that I need at least ~$1.6k ($400 for a decent turntabl... | |
| Review of the Raven Audio Osprey Integrated Tube Amp and Corvus Reference Monitors @noromance I was finally able to get some pics uploaded to my Virtual System (the site was kind of buggy, but I finally got it). Thanks for letting me know! | |
| Review of the Raven Audio Osprey Integrated Tube Amp and Corvus Reference Monitors @akgwhiz I have JAN Phillips in the first row, Brimars in the second row and GEs in the third. All NOS upgrades directly from Raven Audio. Is there a tube configuration that you like better? Telefunkens worth it? | |
| Review of the Raven Audio Osprey Integrated Tube Amp and Corvus Reference Monitors Nice, thanks for the info @noromance - I’ll be getting pics up later today! |
