| IsoAcoustics, B&W 805D3, and Harbeth 30.2 @ falmgrenMy 805D3's are on the factory B&W stands. I replaced the feet that came with the factory stand directly with the IsoAcoustic feet. The IsoAcoustic feet screw directly into the threaded bottom of the stands. Once installed, the IsoAc... | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) I am using an ARC LS-26 with Pass Labs 30.8. Best sound quality I have found yet. | |
| upgrades Have to actually agree with Millercarbon (for once) about isolating speakers. I have B&W 805 D3 speakers, recently placed on IsoAcoustic Gaii's. Transformative sound. In fact the single biggest improvement made so far in my system. | |
| IsoAcoustics, B&W 805D3, and Harbeth 30.2 To try isolation on the Ton Trager stands for the Harbeths would require drilling holes in the bottom of the stand legs unless I am missing something. | |
| IsoAcoustics, B&W 805D3, and Harbeth 30.2 @arafiq,Not sure how to mount the Gaii's on Ton Trager stand since the Gaii's have threaded studs. Seemingly, would have to drill into stand legs and insert threaded receiver? | |
| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. What you describe is not at all my experience. PayPal's system is very fair. Perhaps you are no being completely transparent..... | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery Agreed Erik. Also, interesting that this is one of the very few posts that Millercarbon has not responded to........ | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Soundsmith Sussurro cartridge into a Herron phono preamp, then (similar to you) into a Raven Osprey integrated. | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover I have owned a Rogue Sphinx v3. It was a nice sounding amp, but a little bright for me. However, it was nowhere near the sound of either my McIntosh nor Raven amps which were both just as smooth and revealing without being bright. | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk And BTW, I was able to negotiate a lesser potential restocking fee. Became irrelevant since I kept the amp. | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk @ozzy62 ,You may want to read my review at https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/integrated-tube-amp-demo-follow-upOn target to your questions. -G | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! I also had this EXACT problem. Reset my overhang (which was off) and anti-skate, as well as increasing VTF to high side of range. Problem went away! | |
| Integrated Tube Amp Demo Follow-up @noromance - I'm sure tube rolling would affect the PrimaLuna and Octave, but didn't have the necessary supplies to try. Plus, wasn't prepared to go down that particular rabbit hole. Since Raven supplies different NOS tubes and encourages one to t... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk I've had a Raven Osprey MK 3.1 for the last month. Doing side-by-side comparison with McIntosh MA252, PrimaLuna EVO 300, and Octave V 40 SE. Raven Osprey is my choice of the four. Perfect blend of tube fullness and transparency.Thinking about writ... | |
