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.

As a Canadian I can report that I have never seen this country so unified, and of course it is in opposition to a certain person.  Not all Americans by any means.  We do not have a problem with most Americans at all.   Just a certain person.  We are NOT the 51st state, nor will we ever be.

Do the tariffs affect the used markets as well? I'm thinking yes but not sure.

Big +1 @lynn_olson @atmasphere @donsachs I speak as a finance/economics person this tariff thing is patently insane. It’s not gonna help US manufacturing in the least and is just gonna hurt hard-working folks by making them have to pay more for audio products and for stuff at Walmart, Target, etc.  It’s just nuts. 😖😖😖  Wasn’t this guy largely elected to lower prices?  I can’t even. 

Actually, he is violating the CUSMA free trade agreement (which HE negotiated during his first term).  There is a clause that says you can get out and establish tariffs under "national security" reasons.  So they invented the fentanyl problem at the Canadian border to do so.  Less than 1% of fentanyl (far less than 1%) that enters the USA does so through Canada.  A significant proportion of the illegal guns that enter Canada do so through the USA, but we prefer to have diplomacy about that issue rather than start trade wars.  It is a made up excuse so he can tear up the trade agreement and start a tariff war.  Why?  Who knows.  Every sane economist says it is a horrible idea, but he listens to Navarro, who has been ridiculed by the economics community as an idiot.   So here we are in a tariff war for no reason whatsoever except the whims of a couple of people in power.

This will hurt everyone... sad, but true.
