| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Alec,I had an AC-1 that I have upgraded to AC-3 using the 3 motor BN pod and BN feet. I was already VERY happy with the base AC-1 but can tell you unequivocally that yes the TT gets even better with upgrades. More drive, resolution, bigger soundst... | |
| FR64S tonearm overhaul It sounds like the consensus is to leave it completely alone. I just thought an overhaul may be in order due to the age of the internal wiring. I have not yet had the chance to listen to it because I will need to make another armboard and riser to... | |
| FR64S tonearm overhaul I love my copper wired RMG 309 with the SPUs so maybe I should just stay with copper on the FR64. I also had seen the Thomas Schick site and think I can handle the job. If there is no significant difference between the sonics of the silver vs copp... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I have owned several fine tube amps but nothing comes close to the purity and power I have heard from the Tron 211 and 300B SET amps. I'm hoping to be able to afford one in the next few years and that would be the end game for me. | |
| New TW 3 Motor Pod Really enjoying my recent 3 motor pod upgrade but I suppose I will have to spring for the BN platter eventually :) The 3 motor pod was a very big improvement for the $$$ so if the platter even gives another 2/3 of that it is certainly worth it. | |
| $7K to spend on new turntable + arm I would highly recommend a TW Raven One and an Ortofon arm. Slightly above your budget but a very musical combination. | |
| New TW 3 Motor Pod I recently installed the new 3 motor pod and thought I would add to what other owners have said. Going from the single motor to the 3 motor pod has been a very significant upgrade in my system, far more than a mere tweak. I admit that I do not und... | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- Audience AU24e or AU24se fit the bill in my experience. Fast, detailed, neutral cables that don't cost a fortune. | |
| Audio Desk Systeme Record Cleaner I had an experience very similar to yours with my first AD machine. I ultimately had to cough up a lot of money for a replacement unit....The new machine works great. Over 100 records so far and leaves the records very clean except for the occasio... | |
| New Raven AC Owner Regarding the Jelco arm, I am sure Jeff at HWS can have any tonearm board made to your specs. I am mounting an Ortofon RMG arm with SPU to my Raven AC soon and opted to make my own custom arm board out of black ebony. Not sure yet what (if any) re... | |
| New TW 3 Motor Pod Hi Pcosta,Yes, the BN platter would take it ALL the way! One step at a time :) I'm also in the process of adding a vintage Ortofon 309 RMG and 2 SPUs to the rotation - the new Silver Meister MKII and a 1990s SPU Meister (copper). Just waiting on t... | |
| New TW 3 Motor Pod My 3 motor pod upgrade should arrive in a week or so. I am very interested to hear the difference for myself. Jeff at HWS assures me that the improvement is significant and that seems to be confirmed by everyone who has made the upgrade. The Raven... | |

| Cartridge Advice for 1970s Kenwood TT I just set my brother in law up with a KD500 paired with a SME 3009 S2 Improved arm and Ortofon 2M Red cartridge paired with a Bellari VP129 phono. I was very impressed with how good the 2M red sounds for only $100! I would recommend the 2M red or... | |
| Ortofon 309 vs. SME 3012 for SPUs Hi Dover,Yes, the Tron Seven I have is the Ultimate version with silver wiring and silver transformers. It has 68db of gain on the MC input. With my Windfeld cartridge (0.3MV output) and SET amps my listening level is between 8:30 and 9 o'clock. P... |
