To Raven One owners.....

NO REGRETS..... No, when I bought my table from Graham at GT audio in the UK, he mentioned it. Thomas is certainly working on an arm, which may be available later in the year. I suspect he will not release it, unless he is happy with it. He seems something of a perfectionist, so nothing is certain yet. Designing an arm seems a very different engineering challenge to a table. At least it seems different to a non engineer. Someone said it was mentioned on the TW site, but I can't find it. He is coming to the UK show next weekend, given the chance I will ask him.

Has anyone gone from a Nottingham Hyperspace to a Raven One? If I went this route what differences in presentation should I expect?

Motnic,

I went from a Hyperspace to a Raven AC. The Raven One is similar to the AC having compared them side by side quite often. The Hyperspace basically has a slight warmthm, a touch of bloated bass and a slightly rolled off top end. The Raven corrects that while maintaining the same dynamics as the Nottingham. The Nottingham can be "tuned" by choosing the correct arm to some extent. The Raven will let you hear the arm and less of the table. Hope I helped.

Touch a Hyperspace motor. It vibrates. The Raven motor has almost no vibration.

Thanks Dgad. You've been a great help.

Looks like an upgrade to a Raven may be a priority for me.....

It looks as though the overwhelming majority of people are using the Phantom to great success. Has anyone out there heard the Naim Aro on the Raven One yet. Also, is the Phantom a huge jump up in performance over the Vivid?
Thanks.
