| Cable recommendations for my new (preowned) system... https://www.vhaudio.com/products.htmlI’m a DIY http://www.venhaus1.com/diymains.html. kind of guy and just can’t justify spending big bucks on cables. They also sell them assembled. Great quality at a nice value. Their connectors are nice qualit... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming +noromancebefore I went off buying new speakers I would try some tweeks. The 3 tweeks that I saw the most significant improvement in my tube amp system was using: #1-NPS enhancer on all the connections. It makes no logical sense but this really... | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? This is no joke and yet another amazing sound improvement. It was a leap of faith well worth the jump…i just can’t believe what a difference this secret sauce and QSA fuses can do for sound enhancement. I have Michael Stanley reincarnated playin... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread @middlemass If the center contact is above the left and right contacts, then the fuse should point to the right"When you write “point to the right” what orientation? Looking at the component from the front or rear? Thanks for the tip! | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? After reading the 1260 review and my QSA fuse revelation I am a believer the right tweeks make the most significant impact to sound enhancements for those of us that can’t afford or justify spending thousands on component upgrades. Tubes, cables, ... | |
| Replace a 12at7 with a 12av7? Fyi the best sounding 12at7 that I have heard is a 70’s Tungsram with square metal getter supports. Unusual design for sure and hard to find. These are amazing better than mullards, amperex, telefunkens etc....there is a pair on eBay with the o... | |
| Replace a 12at7 with a 12av7? Should be fine but be aware the 12av7 is a hotter tube. It uses 150 mA more on the heater grid. A pair of tubes isn’t a lot. Gain is 41 vs 60 on the 12at7 so it may need a little extra power. Your ears are the answer...if it sounds better to yo... | |
| The Raven Has Landed My QSA Yellow fuse arrived yesterday, installed it onto my Raven Blackhawk and to my astonishment I now have a new Amp. Insane a tiny fuse can make such an improvement…does not make logical sense and it hasn’t even been fully broken in yet. A m... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread My Yellow fuse arrived today and I have to say it blows the SR orange away in every aspect in my Raven Blackhawk amp. Just stunning a little fuse can make such an improvement. Best $220 spent! I also bought a blue fuse for my DAC but it arrived w... | |
| The Raven Has Landed Love the review, input and positive commentary. Glad I recently joined Audiogon. So much to learn from the postings...really opens yours eyes and your wallet! I am a 2017 Raven Blackhawk LE owner and was blown away from Day 1. I had new resi... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. For the budget minded only…I tried these on a whim just to see if they were better than stock and at this price super low risk. I was shocked with the results…they are still in my amp and Dac. At some point i will upgrade them like i did buying M... | |
| Vacuum Tube Testing Services? Thanks for the suggestions but I am looking to get Gm and Ma results to ensure my output tubes are closely matched and how strong my preamp tubes are performing. These testers appear to really just test to see if tubes are good or not. I have a... | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? I also highly recommend the Black Ice Audio FX Tube DAC. On sale at times for $699 I was skeptical how good it could be atbthat price point but wow it sounds really good. I liked the fact it used 2 12ax7’s and has built in wifi. Performs way abo... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Has anyone actually compared the Nighthawk vs the Blackhawk? Is the Blackhawk really worth the extra $800 or just a minor improvement? Trying to decide ....Thanks | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 @gregoriomth16. I have Triton 2’s as well and am looking at the nighthawk as an upgrade. If you don’t mind, let me know how the nighthawk pairs with the tritons or if I need to start speaker shopping... Cheers! |
