TTWeights perip ring/platter/clamp on my Raven One
Jaspert - you asked for a picture of the table with the TTweights, so I updated my virtual system.http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/i/f/1236823856.jpg 
Visiting with friends and Walker Audio
Can you list the rest of Walker's system? It would be interesting to hear about. 
I could cry
I should add that years ago on a few occasions, my girlfriends doberman had pee'd on my Quad 63's Arcici stands. I believe he did it simply for spite, probably not just to mark his territory. The stands were usable but rusted a bit. At least he di...

I am not a fan of cats! I could care less what happens to them. It's a good thing house cats don't weigh 80 lbs, because they could, and would kill you given the chance. Personally I don't think they are fit for cohabitation with humans.....With a... 
Well-Tempered Golf Ball?
To add a log to the fire, I spoke to a dealer who said that the arm has no adjustable overhang, and that Firebaugh has developed an arm geometry that is unaffected by imprecise alignment!!!!!!Wow, that is a new one on me. But I totally believe it.... 
If you play your music between 10 and 12 on the d
Sure this is the sweet spot, but I find that some of today's digital gear puts out so many volts, that I end up with my analog preamp's volume at the low end of the scale.I pretty much solved that problem by only playing LP's in my main system, bu... 
I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake??
Randy- Great insight about mod'ed GCC amps. Mine was great to begin with but after modifying, look out. Definitely install Hi Fi tuning (or other premium fuses) - It's a nice upgrade.I reluctantly now have mine listed here for sale. PS Audio just ...

Raven Black Night
OMG I have to clean myself up. Thank you for posting this info.The table looks amazing, and we're not even seeing the outboard platter/motor. Being a Raven owner, there is something very tempting about hearing an all out version of the main TW Acu... 
Dust cover ???????
DrummerMitchel,could you post a picture of this?I was thinking of having something like this made. 
Can Sound-Smith tip sound as good as original?
I had a cart retipped by Soundsmith, and it was fantastic. I imagined it was better than the original, since I had the Optimized Contour stylus put on, which was a different profile than the original stylus.But, I never got to hear my cart factory... 
I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake??
I have a GCC-100 as part of my system.The volume control is perhaps one of the most transparent ever designed. I have tested it in various configurations in contrast to other volume controls. It allows one to hear other system colorations so easil... 
If you lost your stereo system would you still ???
I would take that crap system and set it up just like a high end rig and squeeze every drop of sound out of it.Even a garbage system set up and tweeked can still image.Try it at a friends house if they'll let you.I have, (but they always push the ... 
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
Holy Back from the dead thread!Thank you Larry for enlightening us as to the speaker. I did however get to converse via email with Mr. Olsen, the reviewer you mentioned, as well as the reviewer of DK's next speaker creation, the successor to the X... 
SRA Isolation Platform under a Turntable
I was planning on going with an SRA stand under my Raven One. Highwater Sound even sells a custom SRA stand just for the Raven One, with appropriate shape conforming to the R1 so an external motor can be used if desired.I lucked into a Halcyonics ...
