Raven Black Night


First sneak pic of the new reference turntable from TW Acustic.

I can't see any belt from the pic. The copper platter reminds me of some heavy weight Micro Seiki from bygone years.

Yes, the full Black Night is pricey. I wonder though if even the battery powered-rechargable motor controller might be an option on the lower priced units. I'm sure TW has no interest in becoming the German equivalent of VPI but if some of these new features were available as upgrades, the whole line might get better and be available to many more people.
Jeff from High Water Sound said the new battery motor controller, the new TW feet and the new VTA adjustable arm boards developed for and included with the Black Knight
will be available as an option and or upgrade for both the AC and the Raven One and Two and costomers who have them and want the new parts.
Does anybody know if the new battery PSU and 3 motor unit will ba possible to adapt on the RAVEN AC ?

I know the Battery PSU will be avaiable but not too sure if the motor unit will be available outside of the Black Knight. It will be expensive though if it is. I am curious as to how the motor unit would improve the Raven AC with the Black Knight motor unit over the AC-3.
Yes, I spoke to Thomas at the recent Munich hifi show, it is possible to put the new psu unit on to the AC and the three motor system if you so wish. I have a picture of the insides of the battery psu if you are interested btw.
