Raven vs primaluna integrated amplifiers

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.

@glupson it is perfect for me and I will invest my money where it pays dividends.

 At least I post my gear unlike snipers like you.

I did not solicited your advice. The original post was about Raven and Primaluna. To wit you have made zero contributions to the topic. You chose to snipe.
 Goodbye Gulp if I could block your ass I would.

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.

Buy the other American made in Illinois amp Decware, not the prettiest looking amp but lifetime warranty to original owner and all hand built.

skypunk,

I have no urge to brag with my life achievements on an audio forum.

The language you use here is inappropriate. You should know it by now.

One of the things that made Primaluna attractive to me was the ability to accept a wide range of tubes. Does the Raven work well with any tubes other than the 6L6GC?

For those offering direct listening comparisons, did you make a note of what tubes were being used?
