Has Anyone Bought A Galibier Serac TT Yet?
Emailists,tell us more about your Raven One! What arm are you using and what is the rest of your rig like? Describe the sound you get from your Raven. How long have you had it? Ever compared it directly to the VPI tables? 
Has Anyone Bought A Galibier Serac TT Yet?
Emailists,what arm are you using on the Raven One? What is the rest of your rig like? Tell us more about your Raven; what did it replace; how would you characterize its sound? I will be looking at the Raven at RMAF; can hardly wait!Thanks 
Is it worth expanding into Vinyl???
The answer to your question is a RESOUNDING YES! (IMHO). I too have recently re-entered the vinyl world after a 30 year absence; and man am I sorry that I wasted those years! My first table was a VPI Scout ($1,800 retail) and it knocked my socks o... 
Own a TW-Acustic Raven One?
I agree; I am going to the RMAF in October. Maybe Jeffrey will have a VPI on-hand for direct comparision.I have had both a Scout and an Aries 3; my current feeling is that they are both very good tables, but I think the Aries is a little too 'anal...

Own a TW-Acustic Raven One?
I've had two VPI tables and neither had any problems with build quality or finish. They are solid, well made, and the Aries 3 is a true work of art, beautifully built and a solid 85lbs! No loose arms or anything like that!!!This whole thread for m... 
VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS?
I recently tried the SDS on my Aries 3 and was impressed with the improvements; better bass, better detail, more dynamic and so on. Watch AudiogoN for a good used one. 
Own a TW-Acustic Raven One?
Lots of good feedback. It seems though, that many feel the TW-Acustic is worth a serious listen. This I will definitely do! My intention in this thread was not to drum-up bad thoughts on VPI tables; I have had a VPI Scout and for the money I belie...

I understand that TW-Acustic will be at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest; guess that I will get to hear one myself (if I can get through the crowd)!

Ducatirider,what were the differences you heard between the two? What was it about the Raven that you liked so much better than the Aries?

No owners of the Raven One around? How about opinions on this table vs the VPI tables? Heard these tables and able to voice some comparisions? 
A Little Technical Help with the VPI Strobe
Good; so if i ramp-up the SDS controller's frequency above 60hz, that should increase the speed? 
dead quiet
Has the issue of speaker sensitivity been considered? There is a HUGE difference in background noise, hiss, pink noise, whatever you want to call it, between a speaker that has a sensitvity of say 86db vs 100db....Even the very best components pre...
