| 300b lovers I see now that Joseph Crowe Audio Products is listed in room 345 for the Toronto Audiofest. So that is where we will be and I hope to see at least a few of you there! | |
| 300b lovers @tinear123 Troy has booked a room and so far it hasn't shown up on their exhibitor's list because we just decided to do it maybe 10 days ago. But it will be under Joseph Crowe Audio whenever it shows up. We should be easy to find. They don't s... | |
| 300b lovers No, we will start in Nov or Dec and I would expect them to be for sale in early next year. Price will depend on costs... Troy will post it all when we actually get rolling. | |
| 300b lovers @tinear123 If you auditioned speakers at Troy's then you heard the previous versions of the all dht preamp and amps. They will be upgraded to the final circuit before the Toronto show. Better and tighter bass is the main difference. If I had to... | |
| 300b lovers Yes, Troy makes amazing speakers. I have the open baffle ones, which he designed for me. Just wonderful speakers. He has a good ear! Of course they are all works of functional art as well. | |
| 300b lovers For those interested and who may happen to be attending the Toronto Audiofest Oct 17-19, I will be attending and showing prototypes of the preamp and 300b monos that are built entirely with directly heated tubes. Lynn Olson and I have been develo... | |
| 300b lovers HI No Spatial is currently only making the Raven and Blackbirds... @yoder I have played the mono 300b amps with 86 dB speakers and it drove them with no issue. I am sure your 93 dB ones will be just fine. It sounds like a 100 watt tube amp r... | |
| 300b lovers @yoder Thanks for the kind words. The original stereo one was a proof of concept of the circuit. I hope yours is running fine and making you happy. The final production mono block version is considerably better in pretty much every way, but y... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp I have seen all sorts of things rebuilding old tube gear. If it was original, then it was pretty well made and everything tied down. If someone else had "restored it", all bets were off. I won't name anyone, but there were a couple of well kno... | |
| 300b lovers Sorry, have been absent from this thread for quite some time. Not spending too much time on here. I will be in Dallas at the SW Audio Fest next weekend in the Spatial Audio room and the Raven and Blackbirds will be driving their best open baffl... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp The Caladan a nice speaker and great value! It is 93 dB and 4 ohm. That means you can use most any amp you like of 10 watts or so. I built a little pair of 45 monos and a pair of 6C4C (the Russian 6B4G) monos. Both were push pull and clipped a... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp The current de minimis threshold for goods entering the USA is $800. So used things from Canada under that value will not see a tariff. They may change that, but so far that has not changed. It is also where the gear was made. If the seller c... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Indeed on the speakers. I own 95 dB speakers that are an easy 8 ohm load. The giant 84 dB speaker that takes 200 watts to wake up really don't sound any better to my ear. In general they sound worse. Give me a 90+ dB well behaved speaker every... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp 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 t... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven 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 a... |
