Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Piedpiper, I was just having a little fun as I believe Asa was and maybe still is a SET devotee. I think they can sound spectacular. 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
To Asa. Mark you had me searching for Wittgenstein's Tractatus! Well I did post a philosophical enquiry. As you may have noticed this thread has begun an evolution in my evaluative processes and I now see myself heading towards that transcendent m... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Downunder, I have contacted Halcro(no response yet unfortunately) to see if I could arrange a day to have a listen to his Raven/Copperhead/Grandezza combination. I believe you live a little closer to him than me but maybe we could organize an inte... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
I very much appreciate both the input and the thoughtfulness of so much of that input. Some very interesting ideas have been expressed in examining my query on accuracy vs coloration and their relationship to the emotionality of the music we liste...

Voltage question?
I suggest you contact Dallas Clarke of Clarke Audio in Melbourne. He does a lot of this stuff and will be able to tell you how much it would cost. He is a very highly regarded technician. Hope this helps.http://www.clarkeaudio.com 
Is the RAM Modified Esound E5 the REAL THING?
On the Subject of the RAM mods per se, I had a 240V Marantz SA11S1 modified by Douglas Jesse including new clock etc. This was the Superclock 3. Following break in of several hundred hours I took the unit over to a very interested and obliging dea... 
Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans?
Sirspeedy, it seems almost sacreligious to enter into the Stereovox/Audiooracle slugfest over Peak Consult vs Usher but as a prospective purchaser who is interested in both products and who has no biases against Asian, European, American, Russsian...
