| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp After two weekend listening sessions, I now have about 25 hours on the Raven. I can honestly say this is my final preamp. On AudioCircle, sjsfiveo described the preamp as blacker backgrounds, greater detail, quieter and the sense that the music ju... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Looks like July is probably the ETA since I'm invoice 247. | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Has anyone with a 200 invoice number received the speakers? I sent an email to Clayton a week ago requesting a revised ETA since he originally said end of April when I placed my order. He hasn't responded to my email. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @jc4659 That was me who commented OMFG. I'm planning a writing a review after I get some more hours of listening. I've never reviewed audio equipment so I'm planning on writing down some notes over the next 3-5 listening sessions. | |

| Speaker Recommendations @whitestix Don has recommended those to me, but they are out of my price range. | |
| Speaker Recommendations @8th-note i will definitely check out the next audio show that is in the Atlanta area. I love my Tubadour IV. Vlad has released version 5, but it's out of my price range. | |
| Speaker Recommendations @johnto I did some troubleshooting yesterday and the graininess isn't from my system. It was the recording. On the 2020 remaster of John Coltrane's Giant Steps on Naima when the note of saxophone starts to trail off, there is noticeable sound of... | |
| Speaker Recommendations I enjoy how the maggies sound, but sometimes I feel they are too revealing. An example would be constantly hearing graininess in jazz recordings. I would say I prefer a warm sound. Since I put my system together, I have only had the MMGs hooked u... | |
| Malfunctioning SMSL SU-9n Go to the DPLL settings and change the number. The default setting is 7. I had the same issue when using optical and the source was my TV. Changing the DPLL number to 9 fixed the audio cutout |
