” There is more to the Kagura than unusual purity, transparency, and liquidity. The Kagura rendered large-scale symphonic works with seemingly limitless dynamic contrast along with a powerful and full bodied low-end. My reference Conspiracy loudspeakers has a nominal sensitivity rating of 92 dB and is relatively easy to drive, so they were an excellent match. ”

” My surround and rear presence speakers were both set to large, however, and crossover points were set a little too low given the speaker sets. I can’t really fault YPAO for this, as I happened to place my surrounds in the back corners of the room with the rear Atmos modules on top, and corners are known to reinforce bass. I made a couple of manual adjustments for this, and I was on on my way”

“Hearing a polished chorus and orchestra left me wanting to shift into more aggressive mode. I pulled out “Du Hast,” from Rammstein’s Live Aus Berlin (16/44.1 AIFF, Slash/Mercury). For a live performance, ”

“There were really no major changes until around 300 hours of playing music through the system. Sonically, the system has continued to improve with further playing time, the minor timing accents have finally been released from their captive bind, the initial harshness and fatigue is gone and finally there is an overall sense of ease. Spatially, instruments and voices are now realistically portrayed in their own very large space, not too forward and with all the subtleties of live music. The more hours clocked up, the better it is sounding. Patience has its rewards.”

“Soundstage depth and dimensionality across the front three speakers was impressive, and the Model 5000’s sound balance was ever so slightly on the warm side of neutral. There’s gobs of detail and resolution, but the sound never grated on my ears.”

” The M22 and M12 share a number of construction details. I remember seeing the original prototypes of the new Masters Series models at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, and being impressed with their looks. Each features a thick, brushed-aluminum, silver backing plate, over which are laid the three segments of the faceplate proper, made of a material like black acrylic”

“I listened to a lot of albums by the sublime Australian band The Church. Their 2003 effort, Forget Yourself, is nicely recorded and mastered. “Song In Space”, as the title indicates”

” This makes the automated part of the setup quite snappy, but it also gives the room correction system less information to work with. Amazingly, Advanced DCAC absolutely nailed the speaker distances in my secondary home theater system.”
Raven Audio Nighthawk Tube Integrated Amplifier Review

” When I first unpacked the Nighthawk integrated amplifier, it was hard for me to believe–based on its build quality and very attractive appearance–that this was Raven Audio’s entry-level piece. However, the ultimate surprise was the sonic performance of this terrific music-making amplifier. In the areas of timbres/tonality/color, dynamics, soundstaging, and micro-details/clarity, the Nighthawk outperformed anything in its price range and competes with far more expensive tube-based gear. Based on past listening experiences”
