I changed the phonoamp to the Dynamic Sounds Associates (DSA). Interesting experience.
TW Acustic comes with a Millennium mat. Has anyone tried playing the LP directly on the copper platter, without any mat?

I have a Raven AC and upgraded it this way :
- BN Battery PSU : great !
-3 motors in'a round : great again.

Today I ordered the BN platter, the new Mat and the new bearing.

So After that I will have upgraded in a fanatic way as Mosin told. Hopeit will be great.

Alec,

I had an AC-1 that I have upgraded to AC-3 using the 3 motor BN pod and BN feet. I was already VERY happy with the base AC-1 but can tell you unequivocally that yes the TT gets even better with upgrades. More drive, resolution, bigger soundstage, etc. I hope to add the BN platter in the future.

Why did I not just go directly to a Black Night? Well cost for one thing. The upgrades have allowed me to go in steps. The second reason is frankly that the rest of my system would not do justice to a full BN.

My current system isn't even remotely close to the performance envelope of my current AC-3 configuration for that matter. I have heard the AC-3 deliver absolutely jaw dropping, head shaking performances in Jeff Catalano's (Highwater Sound) home system so I know that the table is capable of so much more.

Start with the 3 motor BN pod and go from there.
