Review: Trans-fi Terminator II Tonearm
Worth a go I think. Thanks for the offer to machine the base but I should be right later. I'm actually half way round the world from you and my Lenco project platter height has yet to be finalised. 
Trans Fi Terminator T3Pro - which cartridge
I had my T3Pro on a TW Raven 1 briefly and it's now on a Lenco G99 with granite top plinth. Ultimately it will go on a slate plinthed Lenco with ptp top plate and custom bearing/ heavy platter. Only been a fairly T3 user and i find to be a fantast... 
Review: Trans-fi Terminator II Tonearm
Hi Darren,I got a T3Pro for one of my Lenco projects recently and while I waited for the slate plinth to be made, I mounted the T3 on TW Raven 1(since sold) to have a taste and familiarise myself with my first LT. After some hick ups due to me bei... 
Which cart works with Ortofon AS309S 12inch arm
I suggest not going with the AT33PTG for the AS309 arm as the arm is relatively high mass (>20 grams) and the AT33PTG is high compliance cartridge (40X10-6cm/dyne) giving you a resonance frequency of <6 Hz.I know there's a few guys here with... 
Please recommend used tonearm under $1K

TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm

Correction.I meant to day " you are not making apple to apple comparison..." with my earlier post.

TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm
"Killed it"? Please care to elaborate a bit more on the superiority over the Phantom and what cartridge was used. 
Soundsmith's turnaround time?
I'm curious about Ebm's comment. Please care to elaborate a bit more. 
tonearm for Gerrard or Lenco idler wheel turntable
i think Lewn has made some good points.I have ( and will have ) most of bit parts/ gears you mentioned in my room soon but they are all scattered on different setups. I don't think I can give you clear answer to your questions with a direct compar... 
Any body has listened to TW Acustic Raven 0.5?
It looks like a result of someone taking a saw to a Raven 1.;) 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Lewn wrote : The M20FL is still very excellent by any standard. Just enjoy it and forget this thread for a while. When you come back to it, the world will have changed yet again, no doubt. None of us can have the Azden that Raul now likes so much... 
Which TT for my system?
I think i would stretch a bit more for a Vpi Classic.It's HW's favourite sounding Vpi spinner afterall. ;)
