Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
To any one with a Raven AC or AC3. A couple years ago I had a hard time dialing in the VTF/VTA for the best sound. After double checking for level I realized that while level was fine the right front footer was a bit loose. Loose is not quite righ...

Suteetat, good work on speed, timing, Timeline discussion.

Pani, another thing about music and music reproduction is the sense that the sound source is something vibrating/resonating. A real thing. For example on an acoustic guitar after being struck the strings vibrate and the body of the guitar resonate...

Dev, what speakers do you use?

Suteetat, great post. On point.PS has anybody ever tried Sutherland Timeline on recording cutting machine? I wonder if those machines will even past the test? Or whatever stamper making machine or whatnots?Wouldn't it be naïve think that the music...

Sunnyboy, what do you think? Hasn't high end audio always been contentious?In this case it seem like there is a high level of narcissism in play. There is the self proclaimed expert who has some history with a product (a consumer product) where so...

Iaxelrod, good luck with your decision. After getting back in to vinyl very few CD are played around here any more. And for over four years the Raven AC has worked great for me. No, its not for sale. 
When a Reviewer "likes" something
Audiolui - Oh the good old days. Came across TAS 1984-85 and it was amazing to find it. A big reason why I am still in the hobby. HP was still explaining on a regular basis why TAS has to go the advertising model!!!Stereophile rose up from a dista... 
When a Reviewer "likes" something
Zenblaster makes a very important point. Audio mags are a business model. Reviews are there to get you to see advertising and ultimately buy stuff. At lest it works that way for U.S. pubs.Gave up TAS ten years ago after 16 or 17 years reading it a... 
Question for TW Acustic Owners
Phib7777, Based on my modest experience with VPI, owned a Aries 2 and later upgraded to the super platter, the VPI bearings are much much smaller than the Raven. That means that pressure per square inch, psi, is way higher with the VPI.No expert i... 
Question for TW Acustic Owners
A while back I realized that I had gone over a year with out a lube job. When I pulled the platter there was plenty of lube still there and it looked fine. After relubing there was no change in sound that I could tell. That is with the newer lube ...

Great post, too often we just focus on the playback end of things. If it can't be captured in the first place there is no cool playback to be had.

Ebm, how would you describe the change to the Black Night PS in terms of sonics. Thanks in advance. 
Mc Anna , Graham Phantom Tonearm & TW AC3 SYNERGY
Dreamauduio, I can't help you with the Phantom/Raven combo but I would listen to Halcro on this one. BTW I have two arms, a Triplanar VII and a Raven 10.5 and they both work great on my Raven AC. Not trying to pursuade you from the Phantom but its...
