| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Well - Solong can provide an astonishing amount of insight into the setting up of the AC-1 and AC-2 respectively.The AC-3 adds a 3rd motor - that is miles more expensive, but won't alter the performance.The AC-2 already - if properly set-up... - d... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Hey Syntax, poor man ..... "born to suffer" ...... or just enjoying it.....?Cheers,D. | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Lewm, excellent point !! ** We just may or may not agree on what is a cow and what is a racehorse. **That is exactly the dilemma .........Both animals do live on grass (or should....), both do chew grass (again and again...), both feature 4 l... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? .... and sound pressure, building frequency - just to complete the listing even further and to illustrate the point a bit more precisely.The different sound of turntables does indeed has its roots in different combinations of faults and periphery ... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? In high-end audio a fast and straight journey needs a really good roadmap, the ability to read that map and a very precise idea of ones destination. Thats why it is such a long journey.......D. | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Hi Alectiong, any of these TT's will bring you closer - if properly set-up.... which does require some extra work and "tweak" with some of the TT's mentioned now - to a "positive retirement" state of audio mind - (I am mentioning the vintage ones ... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Raul, dear Thuchan, we hopefully learn from mistakes, we learn certainly from results and sometimes from experience. But I can not see, what can be learned from an "opinion" of another listener who always have (must have, as he is a different... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Mordante,this "Throwing money at audio isn't a garantee for a good sound" is the single most important sentence in this and most other threads regarding analog audio.Hardly anyone will like, even fewer will follow it, but it tells the truth a... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Alectiong, no - it won't end your upgrade itch. Not for 10 years to come. Most likely not even for 10 months to come. Not because of the quality of the Raven or any other current available so called high-end TT. And asking here the other audi... | |
| which is better ? MC phono stage or MM+step-up ? A low output moving coil cartridge is one half of a "team". The other half is a corresponding coil (matched to the coil in the moving coil (sic...) cartridge of course...) in a step-up transformer. These two units do form a team. I would never vie... | |
| SME 30 compared to current favorites The SME 30 - as a table alone - is very good, as it addresses the issue of micro-vibration extremely well.Its a well built machine and - Ruxtonvet already mentioned - much more attractive in price when bought in the country of its birth. Mated wit... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II First, - because most people do not know about the upgrade option. And second because many do want an "all new" toy and don't believe that the upgrade is 1:1 identical to the Phantom II in all parts and performance. Maybe a word about this from Ro... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II Dear Nolitan, according to Syntax's findings - which I had the pleasure to confirm for myself last saturday at his place - a firm and solid YES.The Phantom II does build on the MKI's virtues and goes considerably further.Its worth the extra price.... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II Axel, well - with the Phantom II the ceiling is about 1/3 higher than with the SME V.With the Phantom II bass transients have equal slam, but more speed and edge sharpness.But then the SME V must by todays standards be judged and "filed" as an "ol... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II Well Axel, from my point of view most (really most .....) current and past day speakers in home audio systems have upper bass only...... hardly any do have any neutral and flat bass worth mention below 60 hz ( I mean free of inverse phase support ... |
