Back to the original question...You would be improving little and only in certain areas while sacrificing in others...You have one of the top tier tt's now...Save your money for other things, or at least other areas of your system.

...... or give a listen to a TT with a different concept. In other words - do audition a TT with comparable platter size and mass, but with a working low frequency suspension. The difference in low level resolution, bass speed, authority and "air" and the sudden lack of "grain" may give a completely new perspective on the performance and requirements of TTs.
Have fun on the journey!

you give a very vague answer when you state ..."or give a listen to a TT with a different concept. In other words - do audition a TT with comparable platter size and mass, but with a working low frequency suspension. The difference in low level resolution, bass speed, authority and "air" and the sudden lack of "grain" may give a completely new perspective on the performance and requirements of TTs.
name names, what manufacturer employs these concepts? which might I add are at or near the price point of the TW Raven?

guys enjoy the music tolerate the equipment

Braa........ make your selection, choose the names you like - look around on A'gon and the magazines. Giving names here would just mean taking position and raising new potential for dispute.
But - to give just one idea.... - J.C.Verdier does offer 2 TT's in the price range of the TW Raven AC1 and AC3.
You'll find more.....

Have fun,

Hi DT...,
am I correct in assuming the 'Platine Verdier' does NOT use a motor controller, and therefore relying on belt slip/creep, platter mass, and controlled bearing friction to 'cancel' the effects of cogging?
