Raven vs. Verdier La Platine


Have always liked the ideas that go with the Verdier but am also very impressed with the Raven. Has anyone comparted these very different turntables? What did you find/
Thanks

I have PV, but have heard the Raven many times at Graham Tricker's home (GT Audio). They're both excellent TTs. I bought my PV about 5 years ago and it has the GT Audio Battery PSU (top upgrade), Schroeder Model 2 and an Allaerts MC1B on it. Am I going to change now? No. I'm very happy with my TT combo. It makes great music and you forget about the equipment. That, folks, is what it's all about.

Best wishes,

Charlie
On my PV, the speed rarely changes. If it does, it's because the linen thread is starting to stretch. In that case, 2 minutes later, hey presto, a new thread is tied. I've used both the standard motor unit and the GT Audio battery PSU for the motor. The battery PSU does make a big difference. lowering the noise floor even more.
