New turntable: TW or Obama?

About to take the plunge on a table to replace my venerable SOTA Star/SME V.

Top contenders: TW Acustic Raven LS or a Kuzma Stabi R with wood base.  Arm options are the TW 10.5 on the former, or something else.  Would likely get the Kuzma 4 point for the latter.

Anyone with experience and an opinion on these analog tables?

Cost wise they are similar, both under $20K.

Thanks!

I’ve heard both Raven & Kuzma.
They are both great- however I prefer the Kuzma by some margin - the 4point11 arm is a superb arm, transparent and very quick.Set up and on the fly VTA on the Kuzma is super easy due to the great design.
I think the Kuzma combo will be a bigger upgrade over the Sota than the Raven - I use to own a Sota Star and know it well.

I'm pretty old, but wasn't it obvious the title was a typo?  Sheesh.

I like the Pro-ject turntable line.

  Are you sure you want leftwing opinion? Most I've seen would have you loot anything shiny off your system, then burn the rest of it to the ground......oh don't forget to flip over your car and set the trash can on fire on your way out.🙄
