Ahh, BUT OF COURSE! A new Ray amp must be very fine, indeed. More fun, yes?

It's probably more fun for Ray when he looks at his bank account balance.

I am and will be very interested to hear what people have to say about it. I have an XP-7 with Power Supply and love it. I am also very interested in hearing more about the Eartube

It looks wicked cool, but if I even begin to save up to get one, I'm going to triple the price of my most expensive audio purchase. The parentals would not be amused.

I'm not really excited by most products. It always comes down to I must hear it before I'm really interested. I like tubes though BUT my headphone choices (k1000 and he60) don't really allow me to use most amps.

How much is the forthcoming Ray Samuels Audio Raptor?

 

[philodox]

I don't think anyone really knows yet... he mentioned at the meet that it would likely be somewhere in the $900 - $1200 range.

I'm looking forward to the release of the Raptor. I want to compare it to the HD300.

The release may coincide with the release of the PSP. Christmas comes early!!!

I am looking forward to the raptor. Anything with tubes in it always takes my interest. I am keen how they perform with grado's.

What tubes will they be using.

 

[recstar24]

2 5687's and 1 12au7 for the input/gain, all military spec JAN Philips black plates

I listened to the Raptor extensively while in Montana for Todd's Audio extravaganza, and can report that its superb with Grado PS-1's. Almost all of my listening consisted of that combination with a source being primarily a Meridian G07.

The rs-1's are driven wonderfully by the raptor, Ray had a real big smile on his face today when i was over, i was just floored by how "alive" the rs-1's sounded with the raptor
