What power cord are TW Acustic TT owners using?


Hi guys! I ordered a Raven One from Jeff at High Water Sound and it should be arriving soon. I've had no experience with power cords for turntables as my previous ones have all had captive cords. System is CJ-PV5 preamp, Belles 300A power amp, Unity Audio Sig One speakers, Wadia 830 cd player, Analysis Plus Oval-9 speaker wires, Harmonic Tech Pro Silway-3 interconnects. Any thoughts on PC's in the $300 to $500 range would be gratefully appreciated. Oh, the Raven One will have a 12 inch Ortofon arm and Dynavector 20X cart. Thanks in advance!--Mrmitch

I would save the money toward upgrading your preamp. I'm not sure that the CJ preamp will pass through the fast transients, linearity and nuances of which that table/arm/cartridge combination is already capable of. I've owned CJ and enjoyed it but I think your setup is capable of bringing more to the table, so to speak. Jeff
Just to add a new note, I've made a few changes since the last posting. My preamp now is a Joule Electra LA-150 Mk2 and the new Fosgate tube phono stage with Purist Audio Venustas IC's between the Fosgate and the Joule. These changes have made an incredible difference in the music! Next step is to get new speaker cables, thinking of sticking with Purist Audio as now that I have the Venustas in the chain and my speakers are internally wired with Purist, it might be the way to go. Thanks again to all who have contributed and thanks again to Jeff!--Mrmitch
I visited my dealer awhile back &much to my surprise, he did use an aftermarket powercord for the motor of the tw raven one. i couldn't believe it, but it did make a discernable difference. Unfortunately i cannot remember the make of that pc he used in there. BUT it sure made the sound more quieter, clearer and more orderly.
You should try it when you get the chance.
Does TW Acustic supply power cords? They did not 2 years ago when I bought a Raven AC. If that is still the case, there is no "stock" cord to reference too.
