| Problem with a new Emotiva XPS-1 TT pre-amp: THUMP, THUMP, THUMP... Solved! Thanks to suggestions from WaynerN and mprince on AK, I simply moved the adapter as far away as possible and plugged into a separate outlet. No more pulsing! I don't think this was a TT interaction because the XPS-1 would pulse even with ... | |
| Problem with a new Emotiva XPS-1 TT pre-amp: THUMP, THUMP, THUMP... BTW, there's a significant discussion on Raven Audio at steve hoffman forums with exchanges with Dave - I recommend you check it out. | |
| Problem with a new Emotiva XPS-1 TT pre-amp: THUMP, THUMP, THUMP... I like it, a lot. I replied to your original post about Raven. My preference: tonal balance, deep sound stage, and clarity - all of which the Blackhawk provides. I experience no listening tiredness with it.I have a NAD M51 DAC and I have my iMac a... | |
| Problem with a new Emotiva XPS-1 TT pre-amp: THUMP, THUMP, THUMP... OK, if I disconnect TT inputs to XPS-1, thumping is still there - so not the TT. If I lift the ground (from TT to XPS-1), no change to cyclical thumping. Actually, the thumping is about 1/2 speed if one or both TT inputs are removed.There's no t... | |

| Raven Audio Tube amps I should add: I drive a pair of Energy CF-30 speakers with the Blackhawk (90dB) and a sub as well using the Blackhawk's sub-out. It's way more powerful than my room and listening levels, but I suspected it would be. (20W in analog blows away the t... | |
| Raven Audio Tube amps Hi willgolf, I have the Blackhawk from Raven Audio (since June 2015) and can report I'm very happy with the amplifier as well as with Raven Audio's owner, Dave Thomson. Mine was an upgrade from my Denon AVR3802 system and my entry into tube which... |
