| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @freediver I've had four or five Burson products over the years (160 D, Soloist, Virtuoso, Conductor V2+, and one more I think). They all drove my Audeze LCD 2.2, X, HD 800, Hifiman 400i and now Arya VERY well. The DACs inside are pretty nice; f... | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables @noromance Yeah, I figured that would be my best bet. Thanks though. | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables After recently acquiring a pair of Von Schweikert VR 22 speakers, I am thinking of going back to solid core copper cables as I believe they will work well. In the past I've been very pleased with JW Audio and DNM. I currently have a pair of JW spe... | |
| Best used integrated under $5k Someone made a comment earlier about Hegel sounding thin. Of all the amps I've had, SS or tube, my Hegel has the most body and "meat on the bones" of the bunch. The important thing is that he found an amp he likes. | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @dgcurtis36 That's a pretty distinguished list. I'm sure you're quite content with the all-Raven setup. Enjoy! | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @recroom Exactly. Well said. | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @charles1dad Thank you. As I'm listening to the Hegel, the word "obnoxious" is so far from what I'm hearing. As you all know, there are so many factors.Just remember: It all sounds fake. You just have to find your favorite kind of fake. | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @dgcurtis36 understood and no worries. | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @freediver For years I've always wanted to try Icon Audio. Please let us know your impressions. | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @dgcurtis36 I actually had the Nighthawk MKIII, not the Blackhawk, but anyway...I’ve read up on Raven and their products extensively before purchasing the Nighthawk. I’ve spent many hours reading forum posts and reviews along with numerous hours w... | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @freediver horses for courses. | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? Not sure about the Raven products. I had the Nighthawk MKIII in house and I much prefered my Hegel integrated.In my opinion, in my system, Raven was one of the most over-hyped products I've heard in 25 years in audio. | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE If you can find a used Yamamoto YDA-01 that could be your ticket. I was lucky enough to find one right at your price point, actually. | |
| ***All-in-one integrated***$5000.00-$7500.00***Class A/B only***Stellar Headphone*** @freediver was your question directed towards me?If so, I'm using Grover Huffman ZX+ speaker cables. | |
| ***All-in-one integrated***$5000.00-$7500.00***Class A/B only***Stellar Headphone*** I’m absolutely loving my Hegel Rost. I have been gushing about it in many threads but I can’t help it. I used it as an all-in-one for a while and was amazed at how good its DAC is. In my experience, the DACs in the all-in-one units seem to be the ... |
