Raven vs primaluna integrated amplifiers

skypunk,

We all have our preferences and no carpet is yours. I prefer no carpet myself.  It is very easy to explain that to someone giving you an advice on an audio forum. No need for obnoxious responses.

Your system does look impressive for the entry level that it is. I heard Raven once and it sounded good then and there.

Actually miller would get a pass if he actually walked the walk. If he did then I’d be the first to say well theres a guy who stands up for his convictions. But he doesn’t. He doesn’t because he is in the same boat as everyone else who considers buying something made in china....the cost. So his only move is talk the talk.

Miller your system page is right there in the open for everyone to see and much of it is made in china. Always running your yap lecturing others about buying chinese gear when a bulk of your system is made there. What a clown, talk about virtue signaling. Who do you think your fooling? The hypocrisy is cartoonish.

Tekton drivers are Made in China. Nothing wrong with that, but that is what it is.

I have no idea about PrimaLuna except that I heard and read of people praising it, but Raven(s) that I have heard at an audio show sounded good altogether. More expensive ones sounded more pleasant (surprise!) so it was probably not only due to speakers etc. If I were considering tube amplifier in that price range, I would definitely give them a listen.

Also, as someone already mentioned, check Luxman.
