Music I used during this review was Jane Monheit's Come Dream with Me, Franz Ferdinand's self-titled album, Kurt Elling's Man in the Air, Dungen's Ta Det Lungt, John Coltrane's Blue Train, Radiohead's Ok Computer, Duke Ellington's Blues in Orbit, Dream Theater's Train of Thought, M.I.A's Arular and Anton Bruckner's Motets on Naxos. I also have extensive experience in the studio as a performing musician and numerous times have been asked to step into the mixing room and act as an extra set of ears in producing the right mix. I want equipment that is not only musically pleasing but also portrays the music the way it was recorded and the way it should sound if I were to hear it in front of an ensemble or within a live setting. I believe that my musical background has really helped me in my audio quest. Bringing happiness and joy to various people brings me a lot of fulfillment and happiness in my own life. I love having the opportunity to work with ensembles and to be given the opportunity to work with choirs of students and tweak the sound they produce. Due to my music education background, I have a grasp of musical theory and am proficient in all the instrument classes including brass, woodwinds, percussion and strings. I am a classically trained violinist and vocalist and play jazz and classical piano. I graduated as a music education major and currently work as a high school choir director. Music has been a huge part throughout my life. Simply, the Ray Samuels headphone amp line just got one more hot-rod in the stable to suit a different taste and application for tube lovers in audio land. HR-2 owners, don't fret - your amp is nowhere near obsolete. All I can say is I have had more than my share of fun with the Raptor while my Ray Samuels Audio HR-2 amp may be getting a little jealous. It was a pleasure on my part and Ray was gracious enough to lend me his prototype and his actual production model, with the only blessing being "just listen and have fun with it". Headphones: Sennheiser HD600/Cardas Sennheiser HD650/Zu Grado RS-1Ĭables: MIT Z power cord and MIT 2 interconnectsįor the past two weeks, I've had the pleasure of reviewing Ray Samuels' new Raptor tube headphone amp.
