Raven One Motor Noise Problem


I've just received my Raven One and have not played an LP because I'm waiting to get my amp back from CJ.

When it's quiet in my room, I can hear the motor when standing in front of the TT at 33rpm...Not noisy but audible. When I switch the speed to 45rpm it's dead silent but the noise comes back switching to 33.

Has anyone experienced this with their Raven?

Yes . Running it in very slowly , may be just under 20 hour as of last night. I noted substantial improvement at 10 hour and it's continuing to improve.
Jaspert is already ahead of me because I finally got my power amp back from repair...it took twelve weeks. I'm debating whether or not to blast the manufacturer over the net waves.

I'm coming up on ten hours but noticed great improvement after a few hours. Remember, my Tron Seven and Raven are brand new as well so things started out a bit hard and constrained. That changed quickly, and the system has opened up and is getting soulful.

Sorry guys, but I have no apples to compare the Shilabe to as my last cartridge was a Grado Sonata on a SOTA.

I will say that I've never had sound like this, and was recently blown away by Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall. Hearing and saying that there are improvements to the sound in every imaginable area, yes, what's more defining for me is that the system has completely changed in its ability to emotionally deliver the goods.

Oh yea...I'm using my existing SME 309 arm. It's hard for me to imagine further break-in improvements yet to come, and more so from a better arm. Wow...more fun ahead.
I was hoping you could tell me what's ahead with more hours logged. Anyway I'm glad you are finally enjoying your long awaited new setup. Expect the sound to become more alive and fleshed out. :)
You were right on Jaspert, I hit the 10 hour point or something like that and wow...just like that I've got a brand new killer system. Cheers
