Raven One

keep us posted emailists. i am in the que as well.

Once my Raven One/Phantom/hyperphono/Tron Seven comes I will probably not be able to post because I'll be in analog heaven and I'm not sure if they have broadband there.

What is the word from the field? Mine is shipping at the end of next week. Word from Europe so far seems we;; received.

Hi Ebalog
Go to www.soundscapehifi.com. U will find the dimension for Raven One as well as Raven AC 1 motor and 3 motor version. Happy listening

I just got my Raven One delivered, set up and expertly adjusted by Jeff at Highwater Sound.

Though my hi fi is a bit jury rigged now since my preamp is back at the manuf. for adjustment, I can easily hear the character of the table vs. my previous table.

Just off the bat after hearing a side or two, my impressions are that Instruments emerge from a nice dark background and launch with great energy and naturalness.

Cymbals are also much cleaner, and have a better body to them.

I can't imagine anyone not being happy with this table (I have the Phantom arm)

I also feel really lucky to have found such a committed analog dealer/set up guru that lives nearby.

I'll post more impressions soon, then after I get my preamp back. The Tron phono stage will complete the front end (I currently dont have enough gain from my phono stage) so then I'll really get to hear the music this table/arm is making.
