Spatial Audio Raven Preamp

Hello Don and Lynn,

Thank you for your additional info regarding the Raven and Blackbirds.

I have placed an order for the Raven preamp, with Linlai 6SN7 tubes, cherry finish. It will be build in the next manufacturing cycle and delivery date is expected in November/December.

I am looking forward to listening to the Raven in my set-up. The Caladans is 93dB sensitivity into 4 ohms. I can only imagine it is very very good sounding, given all that has been said about it.

BTW, given that the Raven has such good noise rejection components, is it necessary to use audiophile grade power cord in place of the stock power cord that is supplied with it? Just curious.

Thanks.

I stopped shipping cords with my builds as people always tossed the cheapo one and used something better, and I was tired of the waste.  I suspect Spatial has the same policy, so you probably should enquire.  I know Lampizator doesn't ship cords with their DACs.  Honestly, any of the $50+ entry level "audiophile" cords will be far better than the cheap computer grade ones that come with most gear.  It is the standard N American 3 prong male connector.  I would just order some half decent cord.  You don't need to go crazy.  Many of us have a bit of a collection of them, so you may already have something to use in your stash.

Hello Don,

Thank you very much for your advice.

I will ask David (Spatial Audio).

Regards.

Just checking to see if anyone has any reviews on their newly purchased Raven preamp in their system.
