Da Vinci Grandezza

I have just acquired a 12" Da Vinci Grandezza arm, and have started a search for an equally capable turntable. I am leaning towards the TW Raven One. Can anyone share their experience with this arm and any of the Raven 'tables? Opinions on other possibilities are welcome. Budget is up to $6K. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike,
I use my 12" Grandezza on a Verdier La Platin with fantastic results - "Best tonearm in the world" IMHO.
I was told that the Da Vinci Grandezza arm was origionally built for Verdier & the La Platin turntable when Da Vinci Audio was the distributer for Verdier.
Cannot comment on the Raven as I have not heard the Grandezza/Raven combo, but I have heard it on the Galibier Gavia & it sounded great (much better than the Triplaner that was origionally on the table with the same Dynavector XV 1S cartridge.

Great. Now if only a 'lightly used' La Platin would show up on here, I could consider it! It's a bit outside of the budget at retail.

Dear Curriemt11: Do you already mount your Grandezza arm in your today TT?

Regards and enjoy the music.
