To Raven One owners.....

Hey No Regrets and Dgad,

I hope I have no regrets. I placed my order for a Raven AC. I will use my Moerch DP-6 to start then upgrade later. I might just be one of the first with this combination.

No regrets: the Aro was on the Raven one, with a special bent arm support. The cartridge tags broke twice, trying to set it up, so it was'nt working. Maybe says something re build quality. Thomas confirmed he likes the Ortofon 312 and uses it on his own one. Graham, the UK importer, also recommends it

Stiltskin: Thomas did'nt mention the phonostage and I did'nt ask. I did'nt know about it. As you know, he likes the Tron, made by Graham the UK TW importer. I tried my K&K phono stage against the Tron when I auditioned the table. It was better I think, a bit quiter, more dynamic. It was not massively better and the tron is more expensive

Motnic,

Congratulations. I love mine. I only wish I had more time in the day to listen.

David12: I would say that the leads on the Aro are indeed quite delicate and must be handled with the utmost of care. With that being said, I do think that the Aro is a remarkable performer. Very balanced and natural sounding. Sounds like music to me, not hi-fi at all (on my table in my system). I wish you would have been able to hear it on the Raven. I would of loved to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for your comments though.

David , I believe it was Jeffery of HighWater that told me about a phonostage from Raven coming soon.
And your K&K phonostage ,I had alook and couldn't find their web site. Would you past it along please.

Motnic congratulations on the A.C. model.
Jeff received my cheque for a Raven One acouple of weeks ago. I can hardly wait...
