| Raven Audio SC You won't find a better bang for the buck on either the Speakers cables or interconnects. However, like everything there are better and it is all personal taste. | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk I had a Raven Reflection MK2 at around 68wpc with KT150 tubes in it. It was probably the equivalent of a 200wpc SS. It drove Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage Speakers with ease. | |
| Sellers: When do you drop your price? I have had a lot of success selling components but I do somewhat panic for no reason. Recently, I sold a DAC. I had 5 offers from one guy who also bid on something I had 5 years ago. All Low ball offers and having to listen to him tell me that ... | |
| Snake oil?? MillerCarbon ----the problem is that TC is no longer made. I have a tiny bit left over but it has hardened to where it is very difficult to apply. Any ideas on how to make it more pliable....and no it can't go in the microwave. LOLI am thinking... | |
| Music Servers, Do They Matter? I am about to find out. I ordered a Lucas Audio LMDS 8tb Music server to go with my Lampizator Pacific. I sure hope it does. | |
| Dallas or Texas-based audio companies Let's get back to Texas. Yes Raven is a Texas company. Please do not judge the Raven speakers by the price tag until you have heard them Op...give James Connel a call. He lives in the Dallas area. I am sure he can arrange a demo of the amps a... | |
| Do I need a new DAC/streamer. Considering? Given the rest of your equipment, I would definitely entertain a Lumin X-1. I have had the D-2, A-1, U-1 mini and the X-1. you can sell off the your other digital equipment and just use the X-1. I just sold my X-1 because I wanted a Tube DAC to... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Appropriate question for me. I just took delivery of a new Lampizator Pacific Dac from Poland and 6 new Helix Power Cords. I still have a Lucas Audio LMDS music server coming from the UK to Arizona. That will finalize my system I hope for the n... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk I had a hum on different brand amplifier and it drove me nuts. I swapped out PC's, plugged them directly into the wall, swapped speaker and RCA cables, changeds tubes and nothing corrected the hum in one speaker. It ended up being a simple loos... | |
| Weiss medea plus and dsp 501 or lampizator golden gate? What's Best Forum will probably provide you more feedback than Audiogon on your subject. I can't speak to Weiss but I do have the Lampizator Pacific. I would say compared to my Lumin X-1 the Lampi is a little bit more on the warmer side. The X-... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? B&W 8 series ---Just plain plain and boring sounding.Piega Master Line Source 2 --- I so wanted to buy them and then I heard them...ughhh just terribleMagico S3&5 ---- they were just to bright and in your face. I know I would have gotten ... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk In my opinion, there are no giant killer in any integrated amp in the $2.5 - 4k price range. All amps in that range are not end game amps. What you will get from Raven is a tremendous sounding, quality built amp with great customer service and t... | |
| Lumin X1 or U1 + PS Audio DSD DAC I had a Lumin A-1 acting as a transport between an EMM LAB Dac 2V and Laufer Teknik Memory player. I sold all three and went with the Lumin X-1. The sound quality was way better than my previous system and I echo the comment above.One aspect of ... | |
| Streamers with best apps? I have had 4 Lumin players. The app is so easy to use that even me being blind has an easy time with it. | |
| Schumann Resonator MC -- I don't know if my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Dual Horn speakers are the reason. I suppose I could try the SR's in my Theater Room where I have Tekton Double Impact In Wall speakers to see what the results are there. Mahgist -- I will loo... |
