HI

I ordered mine in the summer and got it in Sept, it was delivered as promised on time.

I think it has better PRAT than the SME tables that I have owned. It is very quiet in my set up now, it would probably benefit from a platform like the Minus K or Vibraplane, as any table would.

It uses a highly polished inverted bearing with little maitainance after the initial setup.

I have only heard the single motor version in my setup and at Highwater Sound, so I cannot comment on the three motor version.

Below are couple of links one is for TW Acustic site , the other is a dealer.

If you read Stereophile, the TR Acustic Raven was reviewed in this months issue quiet favorably for another opinion.
