I would need to get a balanced to RCA adaptor. It's only a 20 watt per channel system, and powering only the wave-guide and AMTs wouldn't require too much power. Seems that most of the cost for the more expensive amps tends to be with the larger tubes.
What is most bizarre is that this tube amp is the same price of a USB cable that I have been testing.
I guess that I don't really have an excuse not to try this out.

Those Raven Avian series integrateds are fantastic sounding pieces! Looking forward to your listening impressions...
