Fezz vs Raven

You’re engendering fear that is totally unjustified. I’ve been using tube amps and preamps for 45 years. I’ve repaired and upgraded them. Built a tube amp from scratch. Have read several volumes of tech info on tubes. Yes if there’s a fault in the circuit it can kill a tube particularly a power tube in an amplifier. The affected tube can glow bright cherry red. If you don’t cut the power promptly, the tube will emit a little pop and then die. Fire is a non-issue. The death of the tube acts like a fuse blowing which cuts power across it and terminates the event. The video you referenced does NOT describe an amp catching fire. So give me one concrete example. (Actually any electrical device has the potential to catch fire, so I’m sure it’s very remotely possible but not I know of no instances.)

I’ve been using tube amps for 25 years. I’ve never had any fireworks. I’ve lost a couple of output transformers, but that was uneventful. Depending on the circuit design, most tube amps will blow a fuse if a tube runs away. Others, it will take out a resistor, again, uneventful.

Just for a point of reference, I can count off the top of my head, 20 different tube amps I’ve owned. Never had the need to use a fire extinguisher…..

I'd say if you have a good dealer recommending a synergistic pairing go for it, at least stop by Auralhifi and give that combo a listen.

Thanks all.  I was hoping that someone had 1st hand experience with Raven or Fezz.  Maybe the lack of familiarity with the products by the members here is a sign......

I have owned only the Raven Blackhawk and Osprey and they are well built fine sounding tube integrated amplifiers. Not that familiar with Fezz.
