| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? +1 @soix | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? High end cables will color the sound less than mediocre cables and let you hear what your up stream components are doing. If you have decent components and mediocre cables then when you replace them with "better" cables you will hear the contribu... | |
| Modern Covers of Classics @soix If you want to hear a version of Sound of Silence that will give you goosebumps, listen to the acoustic version from "The Ghost of Johnny Cash" with the lights turned off. | |
| Replacing My Maggie 3.6R @yyzsantabarbara Please post your impressions of the Clarisys after your auditions. Thanks! | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Wash your hands often! Seriously, it's the single most effective way to ward off bugs from the mass transit petri dishes. Wish I still lived in Portland, I would have loved to meet you guys. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @srama Those are very kind words directed at @atmasphere. I hope you enjoy your new monos. Please let us know how they sound in your system. | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp Check the Spatial Audio Raven thread here. Lots of comments posted by the two designers Don Sachs and Lynn Olson. I own the Raven and it will be my last preamp. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @donsachs Soundstage depth, image depth and pinpoint imaging is already better than the Ayre which itself was an improvement over the K-5xeMP in these qualities. | |

| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Heard from Spatial that my Raven should ship tomorrow. I am very excited to hear this preamp in my system. I will try to refrain from posting initial impressions until adequate burn-in (20+ hours). | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp I am hoping to receive word that my Raven will be shipping by the end of this week. I plan to post my experiences here after at least 20 hours of burn-in. | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? When you say near field, how far from the speakers would you be listening to them? How far apart would the speakers be? If it were me, I don't think you should be too concerned with the power of your amplifier especially if you like to crank it ... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @donsachs You touched upon the primary reason I am moving back to tubes from solid state. No question there are very competent solid state electronics that can create a 3D soundstage. My Ayre K-1xe does a better job at this than the Ayre K-5xeMP ... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @terrapin77 Thanks for posting your early impressions of the Raven preamp. Happy to hear you're loving it! I'm not sure I understand the meaning of "the music floating around me" but as long as it sounds real (believable) is what's important to m... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Yes, that is how I currently run it. I'll call David Whitt @ Spatial this week to inform him about the tube change. |
