Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what?
I changed the phonoamp to the Dynamic Sounds Associates (DSA). Interesting experience.TW Acustic comes with a Millennium mat. Has anyone tried playing the LP directly on the copper platter, without any mat?

Thanks Win.Thanks Monnglum, my AC3 is still sitting via Stillpoint feet on a 35lb TAOC platform placed on a 3 shelf TAOC rack. I haven't tried other platforms like MinusK or Vibraplane which were suggested by a few folks.My new arm/cart did change...

My Raven AC-3 has remained the same although I changed the tonearm to SME V12, and the cartridge to My Sonic Lab Signature Gold.I bought the AC-3 back when it was first introduced and was hot. My dealer told me it practically sold by itself. I gat... 
Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere

Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere

Kharma v Focal v Avalon

Venture Audio
Hi Mribobwhich model did you listen to? Since you mentioned the Maxx3 and the Q5, how does the Venture experience compare with these highly regarded speakers?

I am intriqued with this brand of Belgian made speakers, which I have never heard. Not well known. They were the first to use ceramic drivers and diamond tweeters. their current higher models use AMT tweeters.If anyone has heard their current mode...

Maybe off the topic a little, i wonder how the Tidal compares with the Marten range of speakers that use similar drivers? Lets say Marten Coltrane vs Tidal Contriva diacera. Anyone has heard both?
