| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? So Im able to get an average of 90dbs with 95db peaks spl at my listening seat...I am missing a bit of dynamics / slam that I had with Belles but the Raven is slightly more open and clear. @b_limo Enjoy your amp. But what you're describing is a l... | |
| An unconventional approach to POWER MANAGEMENT MC has a beautiful, well thought out system, but there are audiophiles with electrical backgrounds on the forum. My electrician installed my dedicated power with the advice of a couple of members and I'm loving my system. I have a subpanel with tw... | |

| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @b_limo , You've been here before and have been able to put together some nice systems. I'm afraid this time you'll be disappointed. Amp and speakers are not a good match.Personally, and as someone who owns a Raven Blackhawk MK3, I don’t think it’... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" I think it's safe to say that Ralph is a Renaissance Man.@niodariThe company is Atma-sphere Music Systems. No affiliation. | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. The Freya+ is a terrific idea. 6SN7 preamp with a return policy. | |
| Underwood HiFi Cables Fantastic power cable. I have so many cables but I would buy again in a heartbeat. It's powering a Equi=Core 1800 with DeepCore 1800. | |

| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. What would make the most difference for $1-1.5k? I have to think it would be a good tube preamp or a tube DAC. Quicksilver and other tube preamps are possibilities; or Orchid MHDT Dac; or others. The point is that you want the tubes early in the s... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. IMO, adding a tube preamp would be advantageous to using a tube buffer. This way you’d have an active component which contributes to the function and sonic signature of your system with no additional noise. | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. A tube buffer is a good suggestion, but it's a compromise. Once you realise you like what tubes add to your system, you're out $1125. Skip the buffer and go for the amp.As @atmasphere commented, you need to look at specs. The amp you choose must h... | |
| Preamp tubes in power amps Siemens Halske E88CC and Cca $499 each.I don't think you need the best of the best for your first tube roll. | |
| Preamp tubes in power amps I agree to start by installing NOS tubes in the preamp. I don't know the layout of the BAT but the gain stage is most noticeable to tube rolling.BTW, don't be concerned about using NOS power tubes. There are decent power tubes being made today, ca... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. OP, the only way to capture a real tube experience is to use a tube amp. You may not notice much change by swapping in a tube CDP. Although I own one and it sounds wonderful, I think you're looking for more. | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Used pair of Quicksilver monoblocs here.Use the pre out on your Peachtree.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisaa875-quicksilver-mid-mono-tubeThese amps are worth inquiring about, very highly regarded.
