@fthompson251 The Raven did not have this effect (more pronounced bass) in my system. I find its frequency range is well balanced top to bottom. I opted for the Linlai tube upgrade to slightly counter a warmer than neutral sound produced by my speakers and amp. I have been totally happy with the Raven and have had no issues with it at all.
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
Spatial is supposed to be shipping the first "wave" from pre orders of this preamplifier in May, does anyone have one on order? Was hoping to hear about it from AXPONA but I guess they were not there. It's on my list for future possibilities. It seems to check all my boxes if I need a preamp.

@jc4659 Thank you for that reply. I may just get the stock tubes as I can use a little warmth and if not then get a set of Linlai tubes later to tube roll. Appreciated. |
@donsachs I'll keep my eyes peeled and update if the opportunity is once more available. There are regular droughts with the supply of PC Triple C, when not paying the high premiums as a asking price that can be seen.

fthomsom251, you bring up a good point. When Don and I ditched the coupling capacitors, that pretty much got rid of the most obvious way of "tuning" the Raven. You see, nearly all coupling caps have a sound, one way or another. Get rid of them, there isn't much left to twiddle with. The interconnect might be about it. |
@fthompson251 No over basseness. (If that’s a word) Uncoloured. Feel no need to tube roll but naturally will someday. |
