| Magicos! I have had a pair of Magico A3s since their introduction. I love them. They transmit what the feeding DACs and amps give them without coloration. With the proper equipment they can produce a very nice soundstage with width, depth and imaging. Dyna... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk @ozzy62 Thanks! Glad to hear the Aric is working out. Is that a 300B amp?@charles1dad I also have that inexpensive Boyuurange A50 Mk3 300B tube amp that Steve Gutenberg reviewed before. I think Thomas & Stereo will be reviewing it, as well. Th... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk I am pleased to share the news that I shared with @ozzy62 a while ago. He was nice to keep my confidence and allow me to post this here myself: I purchased that Raven Blackhawk Mk3 that was for sale on us audiomart. I received it yesterday in grea... | |

| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? First we need to recognize that the amperage rating on the fuse is the amount of current that the fuse can handle. The higher the rating the more current it can handle. Also you want to run the component in question for a period of time with the m... | |
| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com I think it is unwarranted to trash all of Chinese made hifi goods. There are quality companies that treat you well, have responsive customer service and deliver a quality product. An example would be Linsoul which sells quality IEMs. Another is Vi... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Please keep this thread open. If the moderator wants to delete inappropriate comments and block those who make them, that would be fine. I think we are fortunate to have @watersidedave here and aware of this group. Thank you. | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk @watersidedave kudos to Dave for jumping in and proactively handling the brewing situation. It doesn’t appear that anyone has an issue with products. It appears to be everything Dave outlined plus the tweaking of underpromising and over delivering... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk @millercarbon Agreed. Tube watts are definitely different than SS watts! I am enjoying the Boyuurange A50 Mk3 Psvane 300B tube integrated that Steve Guttenberg reviewed and recommended. This thing makes a nice soundstage with depth and imaging. It... | |
| Maggie LRS so ridiculously good I heard the Maggie LRS at the last live Axpona and in a hotel listening room they were very impressive. I own a pair of 1.7i Maggies. They do need and benefit greatly from a lot of power and some tweaks. I have a pair of Bryston 28B3 monoblocks, r... | |
| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com Look folks, there are some simple rules you must always follow when engaging in our hobby:1. When purchasing anything from anyone you don’t have a good multi transaction history with in the US, always pay with credit card or PayPal/credit card and... | |
| Looking for my "last" CD transport These days for any transport you get it needs to have I2S output(s). I believe Jays has I2S out. So does the PS Audio PWT. I am excited to see what Schiit develops. | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? I am a big jazz appreciator. I have been listening to jazz for years. Both live and recorded. As an audiophile, like with any genre, it is about BOTH, the music and the quality of reproduction. Perhaps this is the case in classical, as well. But i... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All I have two PowerPlants. One is a P20 and I have that fed by a AQ Tornado HC cable I got at a discount running from a Shunyata wall outlet fed by a 20 amp line direct from the breaker box. I also have a P12 which is fed by a Shunyata Venom V2 HC co... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk @ozzy62 @robertcropdust I am interested in a Raven Avian series too. How did you both decide on a Blackhawk as opposed to a Nighthawk or Osprey? Thanks! |
