is the site for Raven-producer thomas woschnik, including links to his US-distributor. There were several enthusiastic reviews of the several Raven models in the German high end magazines such as LP or HiFi&Records. So far there are four models (top-model Falcon - which is not on the website, Raven, Raven AC, Raven one - a new, cheaper model.
The German reviewer was one of the most experienced German analogue reviewers, Helmut Rohrwild in HiFi&Records No. 4/05, whi has an Audiolabor Kostant (today Brinkmann). His reviewer-friend Reinhold Martin had an Acoustic Signature Mambo, and changed it now for a Raven AC.

Kha,

I noticed that you are evaluating some new phono stages. What do you think of the Tron Seven? Does it have the detail and bass strength of the Solid State units?

RE: Aolivero asks, "what do you think of the Tron Seven? Does it have the detail and bass strength of the Solid State units?"

I use a Tron Seven. The Tron replaced a fully up to date Tom Evans Groove Plus. I used both stages with a Verdier table, Da Vinci arm and DRT XV-1s cartridge. They're both great, but I prefer the Tron over the Groove Plus (which means I save a lot of money too). To be honest, I'm not really a sophisticated listener with regard to being able to describe the exact differences in sound. All I know is that the Seven sounds more real, more connected, more coherent. Regarding bass strength, I have no complaints.
