Dynavector 507 MKII + SPU?
Hi AssadThe big issue I have with some of todays new records is the quality of the vinyl pressings. Too many are just to noisy. I can almost accept the way the sound it presented when it is flat, one dimentional and loud! But the surface noise com... 
Dynavector 507 MKII + SPU?
The Windfeld is a very good cartridge and I love it most of the time, good recordings and pressings are spectacular, but when its bad, its not as enjoyable. DO you have a 507 arm? I have a good friend with a 507 and xv-1s always good sound.I would...

Dynavector 507 MKII + SPU?
Hi AssadI seen pictures such as this one here with an SPU mounted on the 507, but I couldn't tell you how it would sound in comparison to an old school Ortofon 309 or even a current day 309D or 309A

Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
ThuchanMy "stay happy with what you have status" brought me from an SME 30/2 to the TW AC-1 with no regrets.This is not exchanging of ideas but a one street of condemnation of TW Acustic from my point of view.I have a hard time buying the marketin... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
I have stayed out of this "debate" for a number of reasons. One I don't care for the pointless arguments with people that are essentially strangers hiding behind a screen. Secondly I have never heard a Micro Seiki table.I have had my TW AC-1 for s... 
TW Black Night armboard with VTA riser
I used to have one when I had my Breuer, and it was a delight to use, but if you have on the fly VTA on the Talea already, I say keep your money in your pocket or use it for something else. It is a awesome piece of machinery but only useful if you...

TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions

HalcoWhat do you mean by: The 'centring' issue is not a problem if you use a top-plate supported on 4 equally placed 'spacers' over the Minus K stand.I would assume the Minus K would not be working as good as it should, not to mention, putting the... 
TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions
Yes I used it only with my TW and I have only had one motor. It is easier to address the centering issues with the short belt for that table.
