| Does it really get any better than the Raven AC ?? Ketchup, yes it was the same everything but the table & arm. I suspect it's the mag bearing of the Davinci table that sets it apart from the others. | |
| Does it really get any better than the Raven AC ?? The Davinci 12" arm & Davinci table combination that I heard out classed both the Raven & Walker. It was the best analogue reproduction I've ever heard by a long shot. | |

| Moving a Basis 2001 Never move your table without first removing the platter from the bearing! | |
| Quattro Fil vs Poeima vs Omega Mikro I replaced all of the Quattro's and the Nordost speaker cable with the Ridge Street MSE II. Big improvement for a lot less cash. The P!!!'s are better yet. | |
