| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Wash your hands often! Seriously, it's the single most effective way to ward off bugs from the mass transit petri dishes. Wish I still lived in Portland, I would have loved to meet you guys. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @srama Those are very kind words directed at @atmasphere. I hope you enjoy your new monos. Please let us know how they sound in your system. | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp Check the Spatial Audio Raven thread here. Lots of comments posted by the two designers Don Sachs and Lynn Olson. I own the Raven and it will be my last preamp. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @donsachs Soundstage depth, image depth and pinpoint imaging is already better than the Ayre which itself was an improvement over the K-5xeMP in these qualities. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp My Raven preamplifier from Spatial Audio Labs arrived today and I thought I would post initial impressions. More folks should be receiving theirs any day now so additional comments from them will be helpful. The packaging was first rate and the ... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Heard from Spatial that my Raven should ship tomorrow. I am very excited to hear this preamp in my system. I will try to refrain from posting initial impressions until adequate burn-in (20+ hours). | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp I am hoping to receive word that my Raven will be shipping by the end of this week. I plan to post my experiences here after at least 20 hours of burn-in. | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? When you say near field, how far from the speakers would you be listening to them? How far apart would the speakers be? If it were me, I don't think you should be too concerned with the power of your amplifier especially if you like to crank it ... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @donsachs You touched upon the primary reason I am moving back to tubes from solid state. No question there are very competent solid state electronics that can create a 3D soundstage. My Ayre K-1xe does a better job at this than the Ayre K-5xeMP ... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @terrapin77 Thanks for posting your early impressions of the Raven preamp. Happy to hear you're loving it! I'm not sure I understand the meaning of "the music floating around me" but as long as it sounds real (believable) is what's important to m... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Yes, that is how I currently run it. I'll call David Whitt @ Spatial this week to inform him about the tube change. | |
| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? Though I do not own these, there is a new 300B mono amp designed by Lynn Olsen and Don Sachs being built and sold by Spatial Audio Labs. I ordered the Raven preamp from them. The prototypes have received very positive reviews. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @donsachs Hi Don. Initially the Raven will be paired with a Pass Labs X350.5 power amp. At some point I’ll need to downsize the amp but ithe Pass drives and controls my Verity Audio Parsifal Encores very well. The analogue side is a Linn lip-12 w... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp I placed my order 2 weeks ago and chose the cherry base. The build should be complete by the end of May according to Spatial. I will post my impressions after about 20 hours of burn-in. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @lynn_olson Fascinating but do you ever sleep?🤔 |
