| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Please take a look at Raven Audio based out of Texas. The owner is Dave Thomson. Give him a call and chat about his lineup. I own the higher end Integrated and it is awesome. He has some of the oldest and finest tubes out there. And they are... | |
| WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER? I ended up special ordering a pair of SF Amati Tradition Homage speakers. It boiled down to those are the Wilson Alexia 1's. Side by side I enjoyed the sound of the SF more than the Wilsons. The look, fit and finish are world class. The sound ... | |
| What speakers work well against a wall I had the Wilson Audio Duette 2's and they do work super well right against the wall. I currently have Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers and they are right against the wall. I love the sound. | |
| Laufer Teknik Memory Player 64 - I've Finally Found What I've Been Looking For! I have the absolute latest upgrades on my memory player and I might be interested in selling it. I haven't decided whether I will sell it yet but if you knew someone who might have an interest I could list it on this site. I sent it back to Sam ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? I am just curious what you thought of the Tekton DI in comparison to the other speakers you listened to. You may want to consider Legacy speakers. They have a speaker for every price point | |
| Spotify vs other streaming services Tidal's sound is way better than Spotify. I do like Spotify for the ease of using and creating playlists. Spotify is good if you have a bluetooth speaker that you can move around. Tidal is good if you want to listen to great music on your two c... | |

| Raven Audio/nighthawk or Osprey Watersidedave...thanks for the update. I was just going to email you. My Reflection is still purring like a cat! | |
| Raven Audio/nighthawk or Osprey djfst - I have the latest version of the SF Amati Homage Tradition. I have a super large room. My normal power on the Raven Reflection is just above the 1/4 point ( like 10 o'clock on a watch). The reason I want more power is to support the gre... | |
| Sonus Faber Alternatives That Offer Similar Sound and Performance, your expertise needed! Nightfall...I have the new SF Amati Homage Futuras and absolutely love them. I am surprised Audio Dave did not recommend the Legacy speakers. They are a great speaker and you can get them on the used market in your budget range. If I were to se... | |
| Raven Audio/nighthawk or Osprey mrdon - if you wanted a significant upgrade from the Nighthawk or Osprey, I might be amenable to selling my Reflection. The only reason I would do that is I would have Dave build me a new one with more power. | |
| Raven Audio/nighthawk or Osprey I can't speak for the Nighthawk or Osprey as I have the Raven Integrated Reflection MK2. I can tell you that it is outstanding. Mine delivers close to 73 wpc and drives my Sonus Faber Speakers like a symphony. Dave Thomson is a super guy who ha... | |
| Getting into Tube Equipment I own the Raven Integrated Reflection amp and absolutely love it. I think an integrated tube amp with your budget will allow you to maximize your system. Check out the Raven Audio website. Call Dave Thompson on the phone and at least listen to ... | |
