2025 Audio System Wish List Time!
To sell the roomful of audio equipment I have that is no longer used, and then put together enough money to make up the difference for the purchase of a pair of Clarysis Audio minuets and a Don Sachs / Lynn Olson designed Raven pre amp from Spatia... 
After 20 years, in the market for a power amp
I would definitely call Klaus. I can remember when i had grown tired of my Stratos monos years ago and I called him, as he is always upgrading his offerings. He made me a great offer and said just send them in. So I did and he used off branded Sym...

MC cartridge for Clearaudio Concept 1600$
Sumiko Starling was very impressive.  
Rays Tubes
A buddy of mine swore by these things when he got them. I brought up some NOS and premium current manufactured ones to compare. The 6sn7’s were beaten handily by in all cases by the Dawning series Shuguang, the Elite series Linlai, and Sylvania an... 
Six DAC Comparison
The best value piece of the bunch is tge new Aero at 4 grand....and, depending on your taste, maybe the best sounding.  A friend has the Aero and uses NOS 6SN7'S and it sounds very very nice.  He actually had a Benchmark and, for him, it was no co... 
Suggestions on improvement
If you're using the stock power cord in the integrated, try a step up on that.  Nothing crazy, and something that you can get a tryout period on.  Anticables changed my mind on power power cables years ago when I used one in my integrated.  Paul w... 
Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions
The Raven.  I heard the prototype and was able to compare it to the LTA.  It was an immediate "no contest."  And the final product has a couple more improvements that Don Sachs, Lynn Olson, and the guys at Cinemag used to put on the final touches....

Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
@veerossi I very recently installed an SDFB × graphene slug in my tube amp that had an SR Orange fuse in it.   The largest difference for me was the expansion of the width and depth of the soundstage, and that sense of 3D surround.  To a lesser d... 
dac recommendations for turntable listener?
Agree with @soix...... There are tons of streamers out there in very reasonable price range that will be better than the laptop.  As for DACS, the lots of Lampizator owners are usually looking to move up the scale to more expensive models.  Look ...
