Spatial Audio Raven Preamp

Congradulation on your new preamp. I’m also 72. 
 

It sounds like you are getting amazingly good sound out of that OPPO. It is great that you have such a large vinyl collection. But thinking ahead, you might think about streaming. You can get the same sound quality and not be confined to vinyl as getting up and changing records is not going to get easier. I’ve got 2,000 pristine albums which I never listen to any more. I now spend my time exploring new music. Just something to think about.

Actually, I am very curious which phono preamps are a good match with the Raven. As mentioned earlier, the Raven sounds equally good with RCA or XLR inputs, so it caters to all kinds of phono preamps ... solid-state, vacuum tube, or hybrid.

Not going to touch the "which streamer is best" discussion ... there are other fora that go into that rabbit hole.

From the time of the order how long does it take to receive the Raven Preamp? Also is the credit card immediately charged the full amount if there is a backorder?

Good questions to ask Spatial, who are building the preamps (and the Blackbird power amps).

@lynn_olson Obviously but I was asking people who recently ordered the preamp. Not looking for exact timelines.
