TW Raven Acustic AC Owners


I will soon be receiving a TW Raven Acustic AC TT with one motor. It is being supplied with Stillpoint Feet. I currently use an Adona Rack with a 3/4" thick TT shelf made specifically for a TT. Please advise what kind of shelf you are using with your TW Raven. I know that SRA has a relationship with TW Raven. I am also aware of the price for this shelf and the HRS Shelf as well. Are they worth the money or are owners of this table finding less expensive ways to get the best out of this table?

I am a Raven AC user myself and have been wondering if my isolation is adequate. My Raven sits on a Japanese made TAOC rack. When I knock on the rack or the shelf, i hear a fair bit of acoustic feedback. Is that a sign of inadequate isolation? My Raven comes with the Stillpoint feet. When I do the test, the stylus is on a stationary LP and the volume is turned up to normal listening level. Comments appreciated.
I am intriqued by the Minus-K platforms. They seem to offer some technological and practical advantages over the other platforms mentioned (wall-mounting is unfortunately out for me). However, after checking out its website site, it looks like the only Minus-K platform wide and deep enough for the 3-motor Raven is the BM-1, which is 9" tall and costs over $4000!
Hi Isanchez, thanks for the pics. It does look like a BM-8 or 6. I will ask Minus K.
