| 300b lovers HI No Spatial is currently only making the Raven and Blackbirds... @yoder I have played the mono 300b amps with 86 dB speakers and it drove them with no issue. I am sure your 93 dB ones will be just fine. It sounds like a 100 watt tube amp r... | |
| 300b lovers @yoder Thanks for the kind words. The original stereo one was a proof of concept of the circuit. I hope yours is running fine and making you happy. The final production mono block version is considerably better in pretty much every way, but y... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp I have seen all sorts of things rebuilding old tube gear. If it was original, then it was pretty well made and everything tied down. If someone else had "restored it", all bets were off. I won't name anyone, but there were a couple of well kno... | |
| 300b lovers Sorry, have been absent from this thread for quite some time. Not spending too much time on here. I will be in Dallas at the SW Audio Fest next weekend in the Spatial Audio room and the Raven and Blackbirds will be driving their best open baffl... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp The Caladan a nice speaker and great value! It is 93 dB and 4 ohm. That means you can use most any amp you like of 10 watts or so. I built a little pair of 45 monos and a pair of 6C4C (the Russian 6B4G) monos. Both were push pull and clipped a... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp The current de minimis threshold for goods entering the USA is $800. So used things from Canada under that value will not see a tariff. They may change that, but so far that has not changed. It is also where the gear was made. If the seller c... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Indeed on the speakers. I own 95 dB speakers that are an easy 8 ohm load. The giant 84 dB speaker that takes 200 watts to wake up really don't sound any better to my ear. In general they sound worse. Give me a 90+ dB well behaved speaker every... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Actually, he is violating the CUSMA free trade agreement (which HE negotiated during his first term). There is a clause that says you can get out and establish tariffs under "national security" reasons. So they invented the fentanyl problem at t... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp As a Canadian I can report that I have never seen this country so unified, and of course it is in opposition to a certain person. Not all Americans by any means. We do not have a problem with most Americans at all. Just a certain person. We a... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp As Lynn said, don't sweat long XLR cables. The Raven will happily drive them. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @yyzsantabarbara The remote on the Raven works very well even at 20-25 ft as long as it has a clear line of sight to the preamp | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Yes, we should stop the politics on this site and I will refrain. I can delete my post if it offends anyone. This is not the place. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Well, tariff land is avoided for 30 days. A certain someone loves to inject uncertainty. He fails to realize that business in all countries likes certainty. I have never seen my fellow Canadians more united across the political spectrum than t... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Well.... here we are. It happened. We now have a tariff war and I happen to know a number of parts in the Raven come from Canada. Others are European so let's hope the USA doesn't get into a tariff war with Poland or Belgium. There are some Am... | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? I used to fix guitar amps for musician friends. They are pretty simple.... (the amps, not the guitarists!)... except Marshalls, which have many small pcbs and jumpers and inevitably it would be a failed bias pot on the board buried the deepest i... |
