” You may recall a reference, in Stereophile’s May 2014 issue, to the Raven Audio Spirit 300B Reference Mono amplifiers. Like the ghosts in Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw, the Monos hid in the margins of the story—the story, in this case, being my review of Raven’s Spirit 300B Reference Stereo amplifier—yet never came into the open. As it happened, during a very brief trial in my system, both Spirit Reference Monos produced distressing noises, and a wisp of smoke curled, ectoplasm-like, from at least one of them.”

“That openness allows you to extract a lot of fine detail from the music, but it also draws your attention to a slight shortcoming with the midrange – vocals lack natural warmth and sound less substantial than when heard through the likes of the Philips M1MKIIs”

“Since the IDA-16 plays DSD256 files, I had to try the unit with one of them. So I cued up the only DSD256 I had available, Howard Hanson/An American Romantic, from High Definition Tape Transfers (highdeftapetransfers.com). On the first selection, “Nymphs And Satyr Ballet Suite,” performed by the Rochester Chamber Orchestra with David Fetler conducting, the recording of this attractive tonal music showed very well developed instrumental harmonics and punchy dynamics. If the notion of 20th century American music sounds scary, fear not; this music is well-crafted and (to my ears) actually pretty.”

” THe definitely nailed the recommendation, so if you want to buy one of his pieces, make sure to check the Tone Wheel out and spot which wood matches your audio tonality preferences, as well as which one makes your knees wobble. I really find myself visiting his site often for no reason now”

“They have the kind of smooth detail that’s wonderfully easy on the ears without sacrificing too much sonic integrity. Harsh or coarse edges on a recording are ironed out

” So, on bass-heavy mixes, you might want to disable Bass mode, and just use it for more moderate music.”

” Although the Mk.II’s bass drivers are the same as those in the original, I heard an improvement in the bottom end that could be the result of the room, or perhaps the greater midrange clarity made the bass sound more articulate and precise.”
TRIODE TRV-88SER INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW

“After quite a cross-section of musical genres, the Triode TRV-88SER is a real musical performer. If there were a weakness it may be in the upper frequency ranges, lacking a little detail and ‘sparkle’ for want of a better word, and only if I was being very critical. It more than makes up for this however with its performance across the whole frequency spectrum, particularly the tonality, presence and control of the lower frequency region.”
