| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Shane,Any further thoughts on the A90 and/or the Raven AC now that you moved the A90 from the P3 to the Raven AC/Phantom?Andrew | |
| Speed Stability Thanks Doug,Yes I remember that lesson! We won't go there :)I think you bring some valuable information based on your observations since your listening was primarily focused on trying to assess the capability in "timing" of the music which is main... | |
| Speed Stability Hello Doug,Interesting feedback. Was the misbehaving cartridge in the Highwater/TW setup or the thrid room you eluded to. Any comments on the gear in room-3?Also, can you expand on the differences between Saskia and TW AC on this record from a spe... | |
| Direct Drive turntables As many have pointed out, there are many variables to contend with (vibration control, tonearms, cartridges, etc) when trying to compare a BD to DD. Unless everything is equal, it is diffcult to say which is better.From a theoretical standpoint, i... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Not sure if there is a specific recommendation on mat type or need for it in the first place. I have tried the millenium mat extensively as well as the boston audio. My ears tell me no mat is better than either of these two.I am now wondering if i... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Another way to look at this is the following. If the table did really have the signature you are describing, then you would tend to hear that to a large extent independent of changing some of the other tonearm/cartridge and system parameters. Well... | |

AllectiongThe Raven-AC-1 that i have been using over the last few years is an incredibly engaging TT.this is a result of its neutrality and ability to manifest the micro and macrodynamics of the music. it really is a neutral table and chances are ... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? The recent threads suggest that maybe the way to segment this better might be in the following camps:1) Strong coupling to platter and strong control of plater speedThe direct drives would fall into this camp. As would most belt drives that have s... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? DertonarmYou make a very interesting point which may help explain some observations I had with a previous system.In a way I was thinking about low torque as a way of minimizing a motor speed instability on the platter. I think you are right that s... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dertonarm, Lewm, Dover, I have been pondering the technical aspects behind TT speed stability in a qualitative way. I think there might be situations where mass plays an important role. I tend to think about this as AC vs DC, low vs high torque, l... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dover, what are the specifics of the motor and speed control? Low or high torque? AC or DC? | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Anyone heard the Wavestream Kinetics phono stage? | |
| Grateful Dead One from the Vault As far as i know the GD merchandising never released this on vinyl. My gues is this is cd transferred to vinyl | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II Glad I waited long enough and ended up with the version II.Was listening to my system late this past weekend and was transfixed! This arm does resolve a lot with my Orpheus | |
| Rockport's or Magico's Thanks again to those of you who stayed on topic and provided answers to the specific question. I think I have a good idea on the differences now but I will need to listen on my own in the end.Dracule,Highjacking of threads and digressions to othe... |
