TW Raven Acustic AC Owners


I will soon be receiving a TW Raven Acustic AC TT with one motor. It is being supplied with Stillpoint Feet. I currently use an Adona Rack with a 3/4" thick TT shelf made specifically for a TT. Please advise what kind of shelf you are using with your TW Raven. I know that SRA has a relationship with TW Raven. I am also aware of the price for this shelf and the HRS Shelf as well. Are they worth the money or are owners of this table finding less expensive ways to get the best out of this table?

Nice system!...
One up from your closet spot, set up of a front end in an adjoining room is by far the best solution...
Especially for those that listen to their music at eye denting levels.

I know how well this works, if you can do it.
Not many can.

Even set up in another room, turntables themselves are resonating devices and I would still try out methods to drain the resonates off.
Isanchez what is your profession?
Your talk of material fatigue displays an ignorance of structural principles.
Apart from ' metal fatigue' which can occur when metals approach their elastic limits after repeated cycling of loads, there is no material ' fatigue' in structures that I am aware of and certainly not in regards to cantilevered wall shelves.
Tightening screws and bolts has nothing to do with metal fatigue.
Stilkin, thanks for the kind words. I recommended a closet because I do think isolation is paramount if not always practical. Do what you can. But you can get too smart and design what you think is just what you need - like me. In my case I designed my solution only 24" wide. Not really wide enough for double arm TT's to be used by clumsy hands the likes of me. Most closets are wider. Sometimes what's at in a normal house is better than custom. You just have to look, or maybe the wall is better after all.
Isanchez,
Do you know what cyclic loadings are?....I doubt it as you fail to answer the question on your qualifications?
And prey tell what 'cyclic loadings' have to do with a cantilevered wall shelf?
Just to dispel your other inaccuracies for any readers who think you actually may know of what you speak.........any 'not so well executed' wall shelf (and can you please describe what you mean by this as I can't even imagine?), will beat hands down, any WELL executed floor mounted stand!
