Not too long ago, I started a thread called "Why Tube Amps Sound Better Than SS Amps." The reason I wrote that thread was because after over 2 years of listening to a SS amp, I had a pair of monoblock tube amps in for review and I was thrilled with what I heard. These amps reminded me of why I always loved the sound of tube amps. I actually reviewed a preamp and the pair of monoblock amps from Raven Audio. Here is the link:

I know there are some people on this forum who enjoy listening to and purchasing gear that is a little off the beaten path and not another "me too" product that represents a variation on a theme and that is why I'm posting the link. Raven Audio is a new company with new products that are different from many of the tube products currently available in the marketplace. I'm not posting this link in hopes that you will read it and shower me with praise-trust me. I realize that I'm a rookie with much to learn. I can only hope that through time and experience I will evolve in my reviewing and writing skills. If you want to take this opportunity to take pot shots at me, by all means knock yourself out. Honest criticism is always welcome because you can learn from that. I just want to let people know that Raven Audio exists and they have some interesting tube gear that sounds quite good.
