| Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings Regarding the comment about "bloom and air" etc without added warmth -- I suppose what I'm curious about, MC, if you could elaborate, is how this characteristic is somehow endemic to the Raven equipment, above and beyond the tubes people choose? I... | |
| What rock song sounds the best on your system... Dire Straits, Communiqué Lou Reed, Transformer | |
| I think is time for new speakers.. These jump out at me, used. The Salks especially. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649654271-salk-songsurround-iis-in-pau-ferro-rosewood/https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649617916-vandersteen-1ci/https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649657863... | |
| Keith Jarrett may never play again @jjss49 Agreed and sorry to break the news. I saw the trio in 1990 and perhaps one other time. | |
| Keith Jarrett may never play again Agree Tomcy6. I think regardless of how one personally feels about Keith Jarrett’ music or personality, this is major news. He is a jazz superstar, enormously influential. | |
| Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings @mesch Have you called Raven? Might be interesting to talk with them.Also: what would you say the closest competitors are? Octave v40? VAC? Very curious. | |
| In Search Of... Desktop All-In-One @rumblestrip -- interesting about the Sprout being "lean" in sound. I do wonder whether any other compact, integrated, solid state option could really vary that much from the Sprout in tonal character. It would seem that one would have to introduc... | |
| A true audiophile can put together a resolving and enjoyable system for under $15k. As long as they stay away from Tekton and Raven, they’ll be fine. (That's how you troll. All in good fun.) | |
| Can a dac really be future proof? Good video which discusses Dacs here: https://youtu.be/8BMRleOuDUk?t=653Back up a bit in the video to hear more detailed discussion of the technology. | |
| In Search Of... Desktop All-In-One @brian_stabinger Full disclosure: I have never bought anything from them, but they have been super nice on email and phone, have a 30 day trial period which includes shipping both ways, and allow trade-in and trade-up for some (not all) gear. I do... | |
| I knew room treatments were in my future. LOL! | |
| In Search Of... Desktop All-In-One I didn't closely compare your bullets with this, but maybe it's the ticket? https://www.psaudio.com/products/sprout100-integrated-amplifier/ | |
| I knew room treatments were in my future. @b_limo Oh, so it's humor not advice! I thought s/he was being serious. Word up! | |
| DAC PREFERENCES TO MATCH WITH NODE2 @jjss49 I think "turn off your caps lock" is the message the rest of the world is sending us right now. Bumper sticker idea of the day. | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? 16 bands for each left and right with a toggle to notch each one up or down by 2 ( don’t remember if it was DB or...). I remember using it to tailor the sound in my room, and tweak, and tweak, and tweak never getting around to sit back and relax t... |
