New TW 3 Motor Pod
Hi Ebm, thanks. My room is much smaller 16' X 12', seems like I should wait for something like a Q2. My platter oxidized after I asked someone, and he was using bare hands, when we remove it.It look like this :[/http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums... 
New TW 3 Motor Pod
Hi Ebm. What is the dimension of your listening room ? I, also like you before waiting for Magico Q2 or something like S3 to come out, afraid the Q3 will overpower my small room. 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
I once asked my helper to assist me removing the TW platter so I can oil the bearing. Don't know if my helper was a merman in his former life, but after two days I found the platter oxidized with his finger marking.

TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza??
Taking about "out of topic", I once asked Dertoarm what tonearm should I get, DaVinci Grandezza or Phantom ? He told me to get Phantom, but I get the Grandezza. Why ? Because it looks so good. Now the OP asked TW or Grandezza? And Derto choose Gra...

Cartridge Recommendations
Does anyone using Ortofon A90? The top of A90 is not flat and has 3 mounted points. The Grandezza headshell is a bit small and could not cover all 3 points. I have to fabricate brass washers for the cartridge screws so that it would be level. Some...
