TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm

a black sticker.....mmmm.
sounds like a good idea.

what do you think... Ortofon RS309D or Raven 10.5"?
The ortofon I can get for about $1300 used but immaculate, and it doesn't have a silly bird glued to it.

Did you ever ask yourself that if your question to TW was as rude as this post,
that this might be the reason he never responded?

The tiny bird doesn't bother me. A 1" diameter round black sticker will take care of it and while you are at it you can poke a tiny dot on the sticker right over the pivot point so you can use it for cartridge alignment if you have a protractor.

Hi Adog

Why on earth would you think this post is rude? Can't anyone express a dislike to detailing anymore?

I've read here that some take a dislike to turntables, cartridges, CD players, amps...well just about everything audio and there are many that name the manufacturer...so what is so different about this?

I just think the 'birdie' looks silly, I'm not saying TW looks hidious or anything. Now if I did say that, then I should be 'blasted' for it.

Perspective please.... I'm only commenting on what I think is a silly bit of detail!

After seeing the bird in question (thanks, hiho) I too can see why you're not getting a response. You wouldn't get one from me either. Talk about mountains out of molehills.
