Hi Ebm, your TW 10.5 arm what wire and termination connectors do they utilize. |
Hi Downunder, thanks for that information, funny thing is after reading brought back old memories when I had battery powered pces, I recall similar findings so in the end even though the option offered some nice benifits for me was not long term.
Hi Ebm, any comment in relation to Downunder's findings, you are using the BN controller unit.
What feet is the BN using that are so exspensive?
How old are your tables? my understanding a major change was the bearing. |
Hi Dgad & Ebm,
thanks for the info.,I was just trying to educate my self and hoping others would chime in but this post has been pretty quiet.
I'm sure the Black Night is worth every penny of it's asking price but for now I would rather put the additional money I would pay for such into arms/carts combo's. |
Mesael, very nice indeed! Tell us a little more ..
I see you have done your own arm boards, what do you have under the feet, what do you actually have your placed on.
I have mine placed on top of a custom made Minus K
What are your arm/cart combos |
Hi Ebm, that is another arm that is on my list that I would like to have set-up with my AC3.
What carts have you tried with TW 10.5,your thoughts sonically over all, differences they offered.
I sold my Graham Phantom MK2, replacing it with a REED 12 inch, I'm going to pair it up with a My Sonic Lab cart. My friend has this combo and I really liked what I heard at his place. |
Dgad, totally agree that you have to live with what ever it may be for some time and in your own set-up which I'm use to doing already.
Never mind everyone's over all set-up and tastes being different.
That's one of my main reason's not to go the BN route right now and just enjoy the AC3 which is a great pce and try some different arm and cart combo's and as you put it, enjoy the journey!
Thank's for the recommendation, a good friend has a Lyra Olympos mounted on a Schroder Ref on a AC table and I really like what I hear in his set-up but I know mine will be different. In the same set-up he also has the REED/MSL combo and I really like that also but out of the two SR/LO is my favourite by a bit on some music but vs/vs on other music but really I could live with either. For how long I don't know because it's his set-up and not mine, time will tell.
Looking at only having two arms on this table, the REED and MSL are on their way, still have my DYN XV-1s and looking at either the TW 10.5 or Teala arms.

Hi Measael, nice pic. Are you a machinest? Your stand, legs appear to be all milled aluminum.
What does the rest of your set-up consist of?
Both you and Ebm are using Transfiguration carts, I was doing some reading on them and they seem to have a following. Don't personally know anyone who has one, never heard one either. |
Hi Mesael, that's a mighty fine looking stand. |
Blackburn, you are what we call trolling, your posting was non constructive, not offering any info. in relation to the actual subject and this is only your second posting WOW! you are on a role.
You have already demonstrated that can't read and your other comments demonstrate you have no credibility, move on and don't waste our time with such nonsence. |
Masael, that's good one.
Blackburn, again you are trolling and I'm embarrassed you are from the same country as me.
I really don't care what you have to say, you absolutely have no credibility.
You come to a forumn with only two posts and already being a d... please do us a favour and move on.
When you post READ the actual subject line first before you start pushing those keys and be constructive., neither of your posts in this thread are. |
Hi Lewm, I don't have near the long term expearience of moost of the AC1-AC3 owners here on Gon, I first tried the Raven One and then moved right to the AC3 and that experience was huge difference in my set-up. A friend and member Glai has a AC1 and asked me to do some comparisons for him so I did.
In my set-up I only tried configurations one vs three, I really don't care about physics, theory etc. just the end result and to my ears I prefered the three motor. Don't know what's going on and really don't care but it was a pretty easy exercise.
F.Y.I. I actually just sold my AC3 which is a great table and I could have lived with it for a very long time, I truely enjoyed it's short term stay but if you refer back to my past threads you will read from the get go I was looking at actually getting the BK from the get go but decided to take my time and get my feet wet which I have and now have a BK on it's way. To be honest if I knew what I know now I would not have bought the Raven One because the info. I read was not accurate sugesting it sounds very close or similar to the Raven AC, sorry don't want t ostep on any toes but in my set-up there is no comparison so if I would have known that then I would have bi-passed it saving my self some time and money loss.
Looking forward to getting the BK, I'm also ordering the TW 10.5 arm which I'll pair up with my XV-1s cart latest version along with installing my REED 12" arm with MSL cart, well actually my good friend Rickmak will do the initial set-up and then I do minor adjustments dialing it in. |
Well guys I wanted to update this thread.
I got my Black Knight table unscaved by the delivery demons, thank goodness. I had never seen one in person, only pics, boy is this a pce of art. It's absolutely gorgeous, the attention to detail is very impressive.
Two thumbs up to you Thomas! Thank you for taking the time to actually come up with such a design and then executing it.
I got it set up on my Minus K., that was a work out. Putting it in place and then taking it off again, you have to find the centre of gravity for the Minus K. to be effective and work correctly but once done you just forget it.
I also received my TW 10.5 arm, also very nice. I have it mounted but not yet with a cart, I decided to sell my XV-1s latest version so if someone is looking it's currently posted.
I did get my 12" REED arm with MSL BC cart set-up and all I can say is I'm very happy indeed. My system over all has never even come close to sounding like it does currently.
