Thirty Days in the Hole

I have had a Raven for the past year after a Cary Audio Sl 80 F1 signature and a Hegal H390 and I can tell with my system, I noticed a significant and positive improvement in my Soundstage, depth, width and height.  The air between instruments was more defined. Is it my end all, be all amp, no. But for the money relative to the other amps I had, this was a nice upgrade. Part of the hobby is enjoying the music and striving for that emotional goose bumps experience.  Hope this helps as I am like a lot of us here...learning, growing and enjoying the ride.

I don't care where he is. It really gets old when certain people constantly derail interesting threads with politics, medical advice, and insisting you buy the products THEY like. Quite a few members quit posting altogether. Why bother trying to share information and experience if the thread is just going to be trashed and probably deleted? This is weird probably, but I thought geoffkait(spelling?) was hilarious when he was here.He did get on a few people's nerves though:-)

The thread that was lost in the Raven thread was that Raven had put up a video implying that Primaluna is a product made with cheap components and Coolie labor for a huge markup, whereas Raven was an American made product where you get every nickel you paid for it, and Deal opened up the bottom of the respective products and showed what they were made of. It was primarily the Raven claim he was disputing, not making any particular explicit claim about relative sound quality. He didn't deny the Raven was a good sounding piece of equipment.
