Vpi vs. TW Acustic

Sirspeedy,
You have a long way to go to convince me that I made a poor decision on buying a Raven.

When I bought my Raven One I wasn't influenced by any magazine review because there wasn't any, at lease here in North America.
And here on Audiogon, at the time, there were a handful of favorable mentions of the Raven tables, with this I added TW Acustics to my short list of tables.

You say, A good VPI or Sota will knock the socks off the overpriced , underdesigned but oh so pretty Raven.....

Overpriced and under designed !?, what compared to VPIs Superscoutmaster Reference complete with MDF plinth and very poor rubber belt drive system....

This is your second attempt at bashing TW Acustics though this time around you have included owners.

Your simply bias towards TW Acustic and if you actually heard one no matter what it did well you would never admit to it.

Just what is it your going on about, are you trying to save us from something?

Do you see yourself as the Ralph Nader of this hobby?

Sirspeedy, it's a hobby, calm down.

Sirspeedy, yes the Oracle Delphi IS an excellent table but after repeated listening I found it a little light in the bottom end for my tastes.

The Oracle was one of the tables I gave seriuos consideration to over a year ago also it's a hell of a lot better looking then many on the market including the Ravens.

BTW they also make a killer phono stage, it really is superb.

I'm convinced the Oracle will do low end well though it just wasn't there the couple of times I listened to it.
I'll chalk that up to yet another audio dealer that doe's not know his product well nor set up....

What did your new AC1 replace and which were the other tables you mention?
