Straight out of the box doesn't work.
I like the Raven NH, but I am going separates. Just bought a ARC LS28SE, Audio Mirror Dac . I like it all with my Parasound A21+, but want to see what I get with a tube amplifier. I have over 100 bottles  of wine.

Yes, I was a little PO last night. Tubes just don't fit right on the right. Red light on right front. They sent me a RA and PP sticker. I will try another one. But while it's on its way I'm going to demo an ARC 75se. 5.5k with new tubes. It came f...

Learning how to use the site. Won't bore you. Check out the new post. PL EVO 400, straight out of the box doesn't work. I'm bummed. Loose fitting tubes, red light on the right side. No sound, big pop from my speakers.

Yeah I'm not going to chase a bunch of different amps. I'm no audiophile in any sense. I just like great sound. I'm not needing to hear the breath between words or the sound of every pick on the guitar string. I do like good bass. That's why I bou...

I have an Evo 400 being delivered tomorrow. Thanks for all the responses. I will follow up when all is settled in. Equipment will be Node2i, AM Tubador Se, ARC LS28SE, PL Evo 400, GE Triton Reference speakers. Not the matching washer dryer @russ69... 
DAC as a preamp?
For about $1100.00 the RME-ADI 2dac fs. Multiple filters, bass treble volume. Right or left, 5 band EQ. Too much to list. The nos filter put me on the rampage for an all tube system. Almost there. I would sell you mine, but I'm keeping it. Did I m...

Lot's of great suggestions and recommendations. Really appreciate the information. Since I live in Colorado, I might wait for RMAF. I hate to wait. I am kinda leaning towards the Prima Luna 400. Like the analogy on the cars I'm a sedan. But I want...

Thanks Russ69.         That's kinda what I was thinking about different sound. That's why I went with the Audio Mirror. This is my first tube set. I started speakers first, preamp second, dac next now amp. I have always ran SS. Starting in '77' wi...

Miller Carbon. It seems the less expensive are integrated. I'm looking for just a power amplifier, and it needs to be balanced out.       The only thing holding me back on the Ref110 is no protection for the tubes. I've read that if you loose a tu...

To Russ69, please take my apologies. I believe you were trying to be humourous.

I guess you should have read the whole post. For as many post's you have placed here I would think you would now what they are without thinking. But I guess you just need to be noticed. Don't bother replying to any of my questions.  
Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget
I use Triton Reference. They really perform. Good choice for you with 40 watts. You won't need the subs.  
Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC
adg101.                                                                              I do have the fs model. I have looked into the Teddy Pardo.  After having spent the money for the upgraded pc on the BS I didn't see any improvement. If you say t... 
Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC
I am using a Netgear power line 1200 for my node 2i. No long wire no wifi no drop outs. By passing the dac with AQ Carbon coax into an RME ADI2 set on the nos  filter. The sound is fantastic. So good I just ordered an Audio Mirror Troubadour to ad... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Angel/ White hot. Best song under Suspicion.
