| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I have pasted everything except my tubes for my Raven integrated tube amp. My results are noticeable. I have been nervous about pasting the pins to the tubes to my amp. I don't know why other than I have a high end amp. Can people tell me abou... | |
| Lumin A-1 or Lumin U1 I absolutely loved my Lumin A-1. I thought the App was incredibly easy to use. The sound echoed Rickray's sentiments. That said I am just in the process of upgrading to a Laufner Teknik. If I don't like it I am definitely going to go back to t... | |
| First Tube Amp You should consider Raven Audio. They are built in Texas, look fantastic and the music that comes out is very good. I have the Reflection MK2 integrated amp that runs about $9,900. However there entry level line up is way more affordable under $... | |

| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Going on 4 weeks. I think it is hard if you have high end components to hear major differences. I have said that about fuses and now TC. I ordered a custom set of Sonus Faber Amati Tradition speakers about 3 months ago. The dealer gave me a br... | |
| Tube integrated I have a Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 that is awesome and meets all of your criteria except for the cost. However, they have others in your price range. Check out the website and then do yourself a favor and call Dave Thomson, the owner of Ra... | |
| Music Server - Baetis Wisnon....have you heard the Laufer? I never heard of it until now and am doing research on it. That item retailed for $57k. Seems like a typo to me. As I said I am not listening to any CD's nor do I plan on ripping any either. Tidal is impor... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic This was an extremely painful thread to read. It was like listening to the Democrats and Republicans in Congress. I have an open mind as I did when I purchased various fuses. I really think upgraded fuses helped my high end system just like upg... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Look up Douglas Connection. www.douglasconnection.com. Talk to Doug who is a Vietnam veteran. He made and supplied all of the cables for my high end sound system. He is very knowledgeable and can provide recommendations for whatever your budge... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Very late to this party but an interesting read. Which is more important? I could not figure that out so I bought a Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 tube amp that right now generates around 65wpc. Having an integrated tube amp provides me everyt... | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp I have a Raven Reflection MK2 Integrated tube amp that powers Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers. Outstanding sound, beautiful pieces to display. You should look up Raven Audio and call Dave the owner. You did not indicate what your bu... | |
| Tubes I tested 4 different vintage power tubes and decided i liked the Gold Lion KT 88 the best. i recently upgraded to the KT 150 for a little more power. It was a close tie between the Genalex and GE. The sound was more dynamic, the instrumentation... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? The reason I have not responded in two months is simple. It turned into a hotly debated subject with neither side willing to lose. Second, I accomplished my objective in trying a few different fuses. Third, I shut my email off regarding this s... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? As the original writer of this particular forum, I think it is time to find new subjects to debate. If you go back and read my original post I was asking for input on fuses to try. I ended up putting in a Padis Fuse and the Synergistic Blue fuse... | |
| The best sounding music streamer/DAC on the market I have the Lumin A-1 with Tidal and a Synology NAS. I love the Lumin App. It is so easy to use. You don't need JRiver or Roon. I just added an EMM Lab DAC thinking my sound would substantially improve. So far I am not hearing that much of an ... |
