To Raven One owners.....

David12: I would say that the leads on the Aro are indeed quite delicate and must be handled with the utmost of care. With that being said, I do think that the Aro is a remarkable performer. Very balanced and natural sounding. Sounds like music to me, not hi-fi at all (on my table in my system). I wish you would have been able to hear it on the Raven. I would of loved to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for your comments though.

David , I believe it was Jeffery of HighWater that told me about a phonostage from Raven coming soon.
And your K&K phonostage ,I had alook and couldn't find their web site. Would you past it along please.

Motnic congratulations on the A.C. model.
Jeff received my cheque for a Raven One acouple of weeks ago. I can hardly wait...

K & Ks phonostage from what I have read is of GREAT value for the money.
Like the Supratek Chenin that I have, the selling price has absolutely no bearing on performance.

The phonostage in the Chenin triode is near silent in operation and will drive a MC cartridge down to 0.1 milivolts without the need for a step up device,according to the owners manual.
Over and above this I have put it head to head with acouple other popular phonostages and pres at double the price of the Chenin.
Its still in my system.

I will be giving anew preamp and phonostage carefull concideration to go with my Raven and Phantom.


K & K audios maxxed out phonostage with all options looks like a good place to start.

Stilskin,
I must say your preamp is absolutely beautiful looking. A work of art!

Could you share with us what cartridge and amplifier you are using with it?

Thank you.
