Brinkman Balance Comparisons

Dgad, tq for your response. I will probably go for Mystic Mat shld I decide to buy a Mat. However, was wondering the need for a Mat when 1 of the very reasons for buying Raven AC is the uniqueness of the copper platter. Anymore feedback will be much appreciated. Happy listening

Hi RWD, Rick. I hope I am making the right decision as well. I change my mind to purchase a Scheu DL1 to TW acustic Raven AC after recommendation by dealer ( also fr all the readings about how wonderful the turntable is). Pairing it with Schroeder ( lower range Schroeder. Too long waiting period for a better Schroeder tonearm) and a Jan Allaerts MC1B catridge. Waiting anxiously for it to arrive in another 2 weeks or so. Happy Listening

RWD, Rick that seems like a good idea. One thing I love about audiogon is the unselfish sharing amount members. Rookie like me benefits a lot from the info shared in audiogon. Happy Listening

Finally I will be getting the Raven AC within the next 2 weeks after a long long wait ( abt 6mths) despite being promise earlier. Wondering anybody has any experience using it with Millenium carbon Mat or Living voice Mat or do prefer to it without any mat. What abt record weight? It seems the manufacturer prefer it without record claiming that it may dampen the sound ( according to my dealer). Your opinion is much appreciated tq

Dgad, thank you for yr info. I will go for the Living Voice Mystic Mat. Happy listening

Hi Raven owners out there,
Just got my Raven AC after 5-6mths of waiting. I noticed that it does not come with stock power cord and clamp. What power cord are you using and do you prefer it with or without clamp? TQ in advance and Happy listening

RWD, yes I meant the motor powercord. Looks like I got to ask my dealer what happen to my PC. Wonder whether changing powercord will make any difference. I m currently using Transparent Powerlink PC. I m matching the turntable with a Schroeder 2fw ( original meant for a dps turntable) and Jan Allaert MC1B. TQ

Dgad,
Maybe you are right able power cable making no difference to the sound. Probably changing the power cable to my phonostage will give me more desirable result. The ensemble phonostage come with a reasonable good power cord.

I dont understand yr suggestion abt the "Ground Bolt"? I noticed 3 bolts beside the hole where bearing pin is located and 2 underneath the position for tonearms. Pls enlighten me tq
