The stealth is a great pre-amp for speakers, but headamp wise the raptor eats it alive..imo of course

I concur...the raptor is Ray's most transparent and neutral amp, if you have a high end source and you want to hear it in all its glory, the raptor is very hard to beat, i would take the raptor headamp over the stealth headamp any day of the week, but the preamp sounds freaking incredible.

What I can't wait for is both your reactions when I post pictures of the Raptor from my very comfortable listening room. My wife will be away for the weekend so I will have all that free time to bask in the glory of what is the Veda Audio Dynahi SA and the Emmeline II The Raptor. I will sit here and read, with a big smile on my face, the two of you going back and forth. Very entertaining, I must say. The choices with be tough. Do I listen to the Dyanhi with the SA5k's or the ms-pros. No, maybe the Raptor and the ms-pro's or the SA5k's. I am not sure I can handle the pressure of thes choices. Or should I take pics of me and my dogs sitting with a bottle of Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA. The dogs will listen through the speakers of course and drink from their bowls. I will have the bottle, the Raptor/Dynahi. Stay tuned.........

You should get some sleep. It's been a rough few days for you. Me, on the otherhand will go to sleep soon as it will bring me a day closer to audio nirvana, the Dynahi and Raptor. Which means it will be here in ... days.

Ha ha but don't think you will be allowed back into the team. well maybe, your still funny.

He's had a "few" rough days??? I think IIRC it was Feb since he was amped. It's now April, Where's the Justice????

I think I would go nuts without my multiple amps. That's why I have 3 here and another 5 in Ottawa.

I am not without compassion for the young man. I did offer him the HD25. I am not without a heart. Of course in about ___ days I will will have no more use for the HD25, as good as it is.

Or you could for a small price.....
