To Raven One owners.....

I switched recently from the more expensive Origin Live Resolution /Illustrious. The OL deck was good, the Raven, better in most aspects, base, neutrality across frequency spectrum, transparency. At the moment I use the basic Vivid arm with a Zyx airy 3. It is already excellent. I have to say, I am waiting to see if Thomas from TW, produces the arm, he is working on.

I upgraded from a tweeked out Well Tempered Classic.

It was a great table that bettered many others, but the Raven One is just simply stunning. I am using the Phantom arm, and the table sits on a Sistrum SP-1 stand which took the table to the next level.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me. It has really got me excited!

I went from a 1989 Lp12/Akito/ATOC9 cartridge, over the years upgrading to Lp12/Lingo/Cirkus/Ekos/Troika ending 2007. My Raven One, Vivid arm (Graham Phantom is late coming), and newly acquired XX2 MkII is far and away a superior source component. It is better in every meaningful way except one. The LP12 is better at playing bad recordings. I am very pleased.

No regrets,
Have you ordered a Raven or just giving consideration among other tables?

I can tell you Jeff Catalano of High Water Sound ,the only North American distributor of the TW Raven tables is areal pleasure to deal with.

One of the hardest working guy's in the audio business.

I spoke with Jeff acouple of times over the phone. He,s down to earth and a straight shooter.

Prior to ordering a Raven One this past Monday,I had a VPI ScoutMasterSignature with options.

VPI put out a fine line of turntables and tonearms, heard them all.
However I believe VPI and many other manufatures do not make a table that can compete even with the Raven One.

This record player matched up with a great arm, cartridge and especially the phonostage,could verywell be your last table.
