Conrad Johnson or PrimaLuna

@tablejockey

no my primaluna is the hp version, 4x kt88 per side - sorry i wasn’t specific

so in fact it is double the output tubes on the raven or standard primaluna amps

@ronrags

which rogue model?

I own the Cronus Magnum 3. I bought mine with GL KT77 tubes instead of the stock KT120 tubes. I feel the KT77s have a better midrange and soundstage.

Unfortunate experience by the op of that thread with the Raven

No contest, Conrad Johnson is as good as it gets in tubes. They keep the pathways simple, and utilize the highest quality materials. That's their ethos. Their reference amps ART300 are the best high powered tube amps in the world, so I assume that would trickle down to their integrateds. I used the CJ LP260M with the Focal Sopra 2's and had tremendous results.

And, it is American Made.

Now my next amp will be a Raven. Osprey or Reflection? We will see. But one or the other. There simply is nothing else even close, certainly not within reach of my budget.

Side by side, I wonder which spews smoke first?
