Raven One


I was curious what the feedback has been on the baby Raven turntable. I can't afford the Raven AC. Does anyone know the cost? If the laws of diminishing returns apply, this should have great performance.

thanks for looking.

Which is better choice of tonearms for the Raven one.
The Schroeder model 2 or the Triplanar Vll? Have Allaerts
MC1B or Universe with copper coils and SB available as cartridges.
Do the Millemium mat and clamp come standard? Is an upgrade to better isolation feet like Stillpoints or Boston-Audio tungsten carbide balls carbon feet worthwhile or are the regular points good enough?
My Raven One TT is everything the StereoMojo review describes and everything I could wish for in a TT.
I needed a TT which was compact enough to fit on my Hutter Racktime rack top shelf, light enough to move without backstrain, able to use 2 arms so I could use more than one cartridge at a time, and deliver the sound quality both myself and my system require. All this at a reasonable price. Tough order. I looked and listened and researched for a long time before ordering a Raven One.
This TT is frankly just terrific. Easy to set up even with two arms, solid build quality, high quality bearing, pleasing appearance, and sound quality far beyond it's price point.
I'm not going into a lengthy sonic description other than to say it's amazing.
My thanks to Jeff Catalano at Highwater sound for his professionalism and patience working with a new out of town customer. Great dealer who offers high quality service to his customers along with exceptional products.
