Modified Lenco vs TW Raven


Hello,
I have a TW Acustic Raven for a few years now. I made different upgrades along the last 3 years : new battery PSU and 3 motors in a round shape. I was thinking about the last upgrade (for me) : the BN platter and new bearing when I heard for the first time to modified Lenco by TJN. I read most of what there is to read for a non DIY, and there is a lot...
Before deciding if a make the jump I'd like to know if some in the community have made the same decision : I mean going from a top belt TT to a top idler wheel. I think of the ref models from Jean Nantais and tell me if they are happy now.
Thank you for helping

I’m disappointed to read In_shore’s apparent ‘dig’ at Raven as I have always appreciated his informative and even-handed postings in the past…
Perhaps we are misinterpreting him here Tdaudio…❓👀
Apart from the Timeline Video displaying better performance than Syntax’s Micro SX-5000 turntable which appears to suffers from severe motor cogging…..here is the Feikert Speed App performance chart for the Raven AC-2 which demonstrates better performance than Fremer’s test of the new VPI Direct Drive which Fremer ranks A+ alongside his Continuum Caliburn in the latest Stereophile Recommended Components issue...😎
Note the fact that the Raven AC-2 is far closer to the ‘absolute’ speed of 33.33rpm as indicated by the Test Tone frequency 3150Hz and the Wow and Flutter figures are similarly impressive…😍
Needless to say…these are far better figures than Fremer recorded for his Caliburn…😎

So apart from Syntax’s ongoing personal vendetta against Thomas Woschnick and his TW Acustic Company….the detractors of Raven turntables should study some ‘objective’ scientific data and try to match them with their own turntables for all of us to observe….😜❓
I write about technical observations which have a sonic result.
Technical observations....😳❓
Like what...❓That their motors can't keep constant speed...⁉️
Do you have the evidence now my friend...😜❓
Perhaps you should run your Micro with the Feikert Speed App to show you where the problems lie with your turntable's speed deficiencies....⁉️👍
Thanks again for all the work you put in testing your tables. There is a lot there for analog lovers.
You're welcome Tdaudio...😊
I needed to counter objectively what the Trolls peddle via innuendo and lies...😡
Every Raven owner should rub these results into the noses of those who proffer their unsupported heresay about the speed accuracy of Raven turntables on future Forums....😎👍
