Curious as to what Raven does next???

Raven Audio was finally funded late in 2018. We now are on the road to having all our high-end Elite Series and consumer level Avian Series audio product dreams come true – building not only some of the best tube amps on the planet, but with two completely new lines of Raven Audio speakers (Corvus Reference and CeLest’) which are designed not only for extremely high quality two-channel systems, but home theater and multi-channel.

Then there is the new high quality – dirt cheap audio cables….. Raven Soniquil Audio Cables and coming soon, Raven’s complete line of home theater amplifiers, and our new hybrid lifestyle tube/digital products.

The new Raven Audio tube/digital hybrid amplifiers will feature built-in Bluetooth streaming capability, phono stage, headphone outputs, all the things our customers have asked us about over the last almost 9 years that Raven Audio has been in business.

I hope Patrick Dillon is ready to lend us his “quill” on these exciting new ventures.

Great review, thank you.

I can not say enough about how rewarding this amp is with “good to great” speakers. This amp is a steal. Good god, there aren’t that many audio vendors whose primary goal is producing great gear at a great price. 20wpc? YES! I have absolutely cranked up the volume and it delivers power, imaging, great sonics… Great little amp, curious as to what Raven does next.

Great little company, best of luck!

i own this unit.it is paired with the perfect match of tekton enzo xl’s…i have a modified jolida phono stage.i have had NAD for the last 20 years solid state and mcintosh before that solid state/tube pre amp…i can tell you without any doubt,the raven is the most natural,real,detailed sound that i have ever heard. anyone who has stepped into my music room ,there jaw drops and they simply say:”best thing ive ever heard”…to not have to spend 50,000 or 100,000 and get results with a 2000.00 pair of speakers and a 3500.00 int. amp is astounding. i listen to 95 percent vinyl,but when i listen to my dsd files thru my oppo,the sound is so powerful its startling. you can not go wrong with dave and raven audio.any questions im happy to answer sharethemusic@aol.com andy rothman

I’m very interested in a Blackhawk. Can someone suggest a phono
pre to pair with it? I use a Shure M75 Ed mm cartridge.

Thanks,
Albert

I have the Blackhawk LE and can attest to everything above. It sounds wonderful through My Joseph Audio speakers and VPI Scout. It looks great too, is made here in the U.S., and the owner Dave is a super guy. He is readily available and will happily answer all of your questions…….’Nuff said.

P.S….Did i mention the money back guarantee?!!

Such a lovely review from one of my very favorite reviewers, Patrick Dillon brought a tear to my eye with this one! As usual not a trimmed down held back version of a review, but a nice story written through several systems with months of time involved. We at Raven Audio truly appreciate the well rendered and positive way we were treated in this humbling review. Thank you so much Patrick! And we hope you enjoy your new Raven Audio Blackhawk Limited Edition integrated amplifier. We are honored that you decided to keep her. We cannot think of a better place for her to end up… but Patrick… I could have sworn that you were a dedicated solid state man? Can it now be true that we have a new convert amongst us!

Thanks Again!
