Raven turntable owners:oiling & what type?

Pcosta, and I purchased the 3 motor pod which was a huge step forward. A friend who also owns a Raven came over to play a couple of records and we switched out the single motor with the triple and he purchased the triple in an email he sent to Jeff from my living room. That's how startling the difference is. That is why I'm curious about the all copper platter.

I unfortunately know how good it is. For me the new platter has the new bearing as well. My table is from 2006. I have always lusted for the BN platter, then it became an optional upgrade. So that for me was the better move.
What arm and cart do you use with your AC.

Pcosta,

Current Tri P and new transfiguration Proteus.

Which footers are you using?

I have recently purchased after audition the new HRS stainless heavy Weight. Really a step up from no weight IMO.

I would be interested in your impressions on the Proteus. What did you use before the Proteus.

I have the Black Night feet. I am not sure if it is an upgrade of not.

I heard the aluminum HRS weight on my TW and I thought is was very good for the money they want for it. Good to see you found something you like. I stopped trying those things after I got my Shun Mook LP clamp.

I have not heard the SM in my system. I did hear it in a friend's system who has an Anniversary. It sounded good but at its price I couldn't tell you it isn't silly money. Glad it sounds good for you however.

The proteus is a much better cartridge than the Orpheus. Lower noise floor, much more transparent, much faster, and still possesses the natural leading edges of the Orpheus. Amazing how in one generation they make it sound so much better. If you are considering it be advised its output is only .2mv.

I use the SP ultra footers with bases. Very very good and much better than the original SPs. Never heard the TW feet in my system. Table and motor sit on a Symposium Quantum Sig. Motor controller sits separately on Symposium Roller Block 2s with 2.5 Tungsten carbide balls and that on top of a symposium ultra shelf. The addition of these to the motor controller is an astonishing move.
