Brinkman Balance Comparisons

Finally I will be getting the Raven AC within the next 2 weeks after a long long wait ( abt 6mths) despite being promise earlier. Wondering anybody has any experience using it with Millenium carbon Mat or Living voice Mat or do prefer to it without any mat. What abt record weight? It seems the manufacturer prefer it without record claiming that it may dampen the sound ( according to my dealer). Your opinion is much appreciated tq

I had 3, Boston, Millenium & now use Living Voice. I much prefer it to the other 2. But the platter itself is very good.

Also I have a feeling it is system dependent & cartridge/arm dependent. I would love to hear your impressions.

Dgad, tq for your response. I will probably go for Mystic Mat shld I decide to buy a Mat. However, was wondering the need for a Mat when 1 of the very reasons for buying Raven AC is the uniqueness of the copper platter. Anymore feedback will be much appreciated. Happy listening

Dear David, sorry for the long delay on the response.....two weeks ago I lost my cantilever and stylus (the cleaning lady???) and so I have been without the TT and the ability to comment to you or anyone else. Once I get my cartridge back I will give an update.

P.S. I also just received the Millennium weight but had not the chance to try it out yet.
