I have a new Raven Two (a Raven One with two arms). My last TT was a Garrard SL95 from the early 70s and the Raven comports itself well musically with that meaningless comparison. I have a Graham Phantom with an Air Tight PC-1 and an Ortofon 309S with an Ortofon Rondo Bronze on the Raven. Both run through a Tron Seven with Telefunkens and then to a BAT REX. The synergy between these components is quite remarkable. I did a lot of research before buying the Raven and while there are many fine TTs out there, nothing in my mind came close to the value/ performance of the Raven One. The engineering tolerances are superb and the sound, well, glorious to my ears. Good luck with your search.
