Living in DC, we are very fortunate to have a plethora of live music at our fingertips, sources range from the Kennedy Center concerts to small clubs downtown. We attend live performances at least once a month, more like twice a month since recent movies have been so terrible. Small group jazz is most often what I go out to hear and big bands whenever possible. Since I am an amateur jazz vocalist, I especially seek out good vocalists. If you sit close enough to avoid the PA system, you can get the "live" sensation. What always impresses me are the dynamics of live music and how live music usually does NOT provide for distinct placement of instruments that is so sought for in "hi-fi". There is NOTHING so soul satisfying to me as a good big band jazz session, live in person. In addition, I periodically invite musicians to play in my living room, right in between my gigantic ESL speakers with no amplification whatever. That's a much more rare event but great fun.
Modified Lenco vs TW Raven
Hello,
I have a TW Acustic Raven for a few years now. I made different upgrades along the last 3 years : new battery PSU and 3 motors in a round shape. I was thinking about the last upgrade (for me) : the BN platter and new bearing when I heard for the first time to modified Lenco by TJN. I read most of what there is to read for a non DIY, and there is a lot...
Before deciding if a make the jump I'd like to know if some in the community have made the same decision : I mean going from a top belt TT to a top idler wheel. I think of the ref models from Jean Nantais and tell me if they are happy now.
Thank you for helping

Im disappointed to read In_shores apparent dig at Raven as I have always appreciated his informative and even-handed postings in the past
Perhaps we are misinterpreting him here Tdaudio ❓👀 Apart from the Timeline Video displaying better performance than Syntaxs Micro SX-5000 turntable which appears to suffers from severe motor cogging ..here is the Feikert Speed App performance chart for the Raven AC-2 which demonstrates better performance than Fremers test of the new VPI Direct Drive which Fremer ranks A+ alongside his Continuum Caliburn in the latest Stereophile Recommended Components issue...😎 Note the fact that the Raven AC-2 is far closer to the absolute speed of 33.33rpm as indicated by the Test Tone frequency 3150Hz and the Wow and Flutter figures are similarly impressive 😍 Needless to say these are far better figures than Fremer recorded for his Caliburn 😎 So apart from Syntaxs ongoing personal vendetta against Thomas Woschnick and his TW Acustic Company .the detractors of Raven turntables should study some objective scientific data and try to match them with their own turntables for all of us to observe .😜❓ |
So apart from Syntaxs ongoing personal vendetta against Thomas Woschnick and his TW Acustic Company Well, just between you and me, and I write this slowly, please read it slowly, too: I have no personal vendetta against TW. You write this nonsense all over again like a broken record. Both we know very well, that I forgot more about high quality analog reproduction than you will ever learn. Dev, Inshore and others wrote much more about their "experiences" with various TW products and YOU (and some others) never got it. Instead you (and some of the TW community) write that I have a personal conflict. When I remember right, my only comment about Raven AC was that it sounds black and heavy. This ironic comment created a reaction from you where you wrote you will attack me for the rest of your life because I wrote that about one of your units. I have no problem with that, but I seriously think, you are sick when you create a personal conflict about a technical unit. And next, the Time Line Speed test with the Seiki, I explained a few times here at Agon why the laser point is not clearly seen at every rotation (it is based on the camera frame per second), a few agreed in that thread about this. Except you, for whatever reason. Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem with you but you should seriously start thinking about yourself. And my last sentences, specially for you and I hope you get it now: I have no conflict with TW, never had and never will. I write about technical observations which have a sonic result. When you can't handle that, then you are wrong in an open US forum where everyone has the right to post his personal opinion. To ruin someones reputation that way is done usually in socialist states. When you like that way, go there. |
I write about technical observations which have a sonic result.Technical observations....😳❓ Like what...❓That their motors can't keep constant speed...⁉️ Do you have the evidence now my friend...😜❓ Perhaps you should run your Micro with the Feikert Speed App to show you where the problems lie with your turntable's speed deficiencies....⁉️👍 |
