Does it really get any better than the Raven AC ??


Just received my new three motor Raven AC from Jeff at Highwater Sound. SImply the best analog I've heard. The combo of Raven AC, Dynavector 507 mk2 and the Xv1s cartridge is remarkable. My collection never sounded this good. I'd encourge you to give the table a look if your in the market for something really special.

Id be interested in more detail around competing tables. Transrotor what, model, arm, cartridge???? Still playing aroind with mat vs. no mat. Mystic mat versus Millenium mat etc.
A littlle birdie told me that the feet used with the Sistrum should be points down for best sound. Any Sistrum users find this to be true?
Fm,

I love the mystic compared to the Millenium. But that is me. But some say it depends on the LP. Also, the Harmonix clamp is amazing. I love it. Is it better than all the others. Not sure but it sure looks cool and is better than some of them.

Hey, and no mat at all is also excellent. The Mystic "sound" is very very close to no mat at all. The copper platter is that good.
Emailists,

It sounds like your table should be set up pretty well now!
I'm curious, though. What was not optimum in your set up that needed tweaking? What parameters were changed and by how much? What differences did you hear after the changes?

Thanks!

What is your friend's other table that makes the TW Raven AC-3 unlistenable??
