TW-Acustic Arm


TW-Acustic has a beautiful looking arm. Does anyone know what it sounds like?

It's been almost a year since the last post from Paul. Having just acquired the Raven One, I'm looking at either the TW Acustic 10.5 or Reed tonearm to go with it. Previously in this thread Audioblazer indicated he owned both of these arms. I would appreciate hearing from him or any others, having access to both, what it was soundwise that determined your preference of one over the other. Thank you.
Thanks for your responses, Audioblazer. I too am currently using the Dynavector XV-1S, but with the SME IV.Vi arm, with which there is a tight fit as well. The issue is mainly with the depth of the XV-1S cartridge...but...it does work. If I do decide to go with the 10.5 and have trouble with the supplied protractor, I will try using my DB Systems protractor. Shouldn't be a problem with it. I don't know if I'd be too concerned with the magnetic anti-skating device. I respect Jeffrey Catalano's opinion and generally don't bother with anti-skate anyway. Should I face any issues I'll deal with them at that time. Otherwise, it's nice to hear how pleased with the 10.5/XV-1S combo. Best wishes for your continued enjoyment.
