The brainchild of talented designers Don Sachs and Lynn Olson, the Raven is end game for me. I hope my kids enjoy it as much as I do. Also, new interconnects- Paul Speltz level 5.3 balan... | |
| Doozy of an amp question You didn't specify a budget but my forever amps would be the pair of Nagra HD mono's listed on the 'Gon if I could afford them! | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! Not sure I would turn the lights off with those amplifiers in the house. | |
