| Raven Audio Corvus Reference Monitors You made a great choice especially for the money. The Aeris are twice the cost. The Mini Ulf's are still very large. I experienced the Double Impacts but not the Ulf's. I heard the Corvus at James Connell's house who was the designer of the s... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? hiphiphan - I sold my house and the buyers demanded my whole two channel system as a condition of the sale. It is an extremely long story as to why I did not buy Raven again, Let's just say I was stupid and got talked into buying Mola Mola Kalug... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? I can speak to the Raven Reflection MK2 integrated amp as I owned one for 3 years. Is it better than Luxman or Pass or Separates? One can only debate and 10 people would have 10 different answers. It also depends on the speakers, cabling, DAC e... | |
| 2020 FLORIDA AUDIO EXPO WHICH ROOMS would YOU VISIT? The PureAudioProject trio horns were one of my semifinalists. They are definitely the most affordable. | |
| What are the must-see shops in SoCal? I did a tour last summer of as many audio stores in Southern California as I could find. For demo purposes and multitude of equipment I would say:Sunny's in West Covina Alma Hi Fi | |
| Expert Advise Needed on Streamer - DAC combos. I have had a Lumin A-1 and X-1....both above your budget. I was able to get rid of my Emm Lab Dac and Laufer Teknik Memory player and just used the Lumin. The suggestion Uberwaltz gave of the D-1 is good. The Lumin app is so easy to use and t... | |
| Raven Audio Celest’ Towers First Impreeions I have been a Raven fan for 5 years. They make some of the best tube amps money can buy. I owned the Reflection MK2 integrated and had them paired to SF Amati Tradition Homage Speakers. Wow is all I can say. I did do a test of Raven's new spea... | |
| Streamer v DAC - which is more important? I had a Lumin A-1 Streamer and a Emm Lab DAC and a Laufer Teknik Server. It sounded great. I upgraded to the Lumin X-1 and as a result I sold the Emm Lab DAC and the Memory player and my sound was even better. I love the simplicity of the Lumin... | |
| 2020 FLORIDA AUDIO EXPO WHICH ROOMS would YOU VISIT? Blindjim...I had Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers that I thought were fantastic. I sold my home and the buyers demanded my whole two channel system. The good news is I got to start over. I went on a speaker hunt this past summer. I ... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Given your budget why not go the integrated route. Take look at the Raven Audio website and then call Dave Thomson, the owner. The Raven sound is awesome. | |
| 2020 FLORIDA AUDIO EXPO WHICH ROOMS would YOU VISIT? BlindJim....just call Dave at Raven. You already heard the speakers and saw his amps. I have first hand experience with both. Dave can get you the best set-up possible for your budget. Trust me....Trust Dave. | |
| 2020 FLORIDA AUDIO EXPO WHICH ROOMS would YOU VISIT? Glad you were able to get to the Raven room. Dave Thomson makes a fantastic tube amp as I can attest to having the Reflection MK2 amp. I hope you had time to talk to Dave. A class individual. | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I hope for the best. I talked to her just prior to the end of the year and told her I was going to wait a little bit before buying as I am building a new house. I was going to buy the Gate, mats, and for sure the paste. My plan was as the elect... | |
