| Direct Drive turntables Hi, has DD a "theoretical" advantage over belt drive that will translate into better sounds? I am confused by opinions out there. Some say DD has a characteristic livelier/dynamic sound. Some say the type of drive mechanism really doesnt matter so... | |

| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Hi Lewm, my system's sonics is better than ever before. Problem is in this hobby, most of us become more critical as we move along. Before the TW, I had a VPI Superscoutmaster and was amazed how much improvement a TT upgrade can make. After I had ... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Hi Ebm, why Black Knight? I haven't heard it but is it fundamentally different from Raven AC in some ways that a cow (albeit a very good one...no intended disrespect to other Raven AC owners please) has become a racing horse? my little dissatifact... | |

It is a trial and error thing and may eventually get it to sound closer to what i want, ie neutrality and tra... | |

| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Hi folks, thanks for comments and suggestions.Hi Solong, i will try out your suggestion of using two motors instead of three. Hi Breuninger, I have read hyperboles about the Walker, and might be hearing a well set up walker soon to form my opinion... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Hi Jfrech, good as the AC-3 may be, there must be room for improvement, otherwise TW wouldnt have come up with the Black Knight, which I haven't heard :). i will be interested to hear from people who have compared AC-3 and the Black Knight.Hi Acou... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Dre_j and all,Thanks for your comments. I more I read, the more I think what i need most is a vibration isolation platform underneath my Raven TT, and not a switch to the Davinci. Probably the platform will provide more meaningful sonic improvemen... | |
