| 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 ... | |
| Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018 I love my Raven Reflection MK2 Integrated tube amp with around 72WPC. It costs 10K. It it an absolute showpiece for anyone who comes into my house. It is made in Texas. The owner, Dave Thompson has some of the best old tubes that money can buy... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic After much intrepidation, I finally pasted the pins on my Raven Tube amp. I found the clarity of vocals and instrumentation to be be improved immediately after pasting. My next upgrade is a Laufner Teknik Memory player. If the sound improves ev... | |
| 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 $... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Brandi Carlile | |
| 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... |
