TW-Acustic Raven AC3 latest version vs older

There are allot of owners of this table and AC along with others whom I'm sure can chime in with information and findings.

My understanding is the latest version of this table has gone threw some changes over the years and at least one of these can't be applied if you have an older table. (bearing)

-CONTROLLER UNIT, latest had TW engraved in the face plate. I have read that some prefer the older version, care to elaborate further.
Also some are using the Black Knights, care to elaborate on the sonic differences.

-ARM BOARD

-ISOLATION FEET, anyone notice what effects these offer
also some have gone with the same ones used on the Black Knight

-MOTORS, I have three. I noticed viewing some other owners that the construction they seem to have less stainless steel base, anyone notice any diffferences sonically, if so what.

Some are using the Black Knights motor, what have you noticed to be the difference sonically

-BEARING, this is much more involved so not just an easy switch or ad on, my understanding you need a new platter etc. much more involved. The bearing is a different size and has isolation of some sort, tighter toilerances which in the end offers less noise.
If anyone has pictures or can elaborate better would be great and to see.
You can pm me personally if this is your preference.

Dev this is non sense to you that I found these tables not for me and ultimatley boring?
Further , with these two comments alone demonstrate to you that I have no credibility and you find these comments acidic!!! WOW .

Let me ask you this, I read through most of the Raven threads and its apparent your group find acidic comments by Dertonearm and Syntax tolerable, another "WOW"

Perhaps I should apologize for being honest and follow my apologize with some hard advice, grow some thicker skin, I thought I could get you to think and ""hear for yourself"" and then maybe save you some money.

Love fest's like this just validated my early preconception of on line forums.

Masael, that's good one.

Blackburn, again you are trolling and I'm embarrassed you are from the same country as me.

I really don't care what you have to say, you absolutely have no credibility.

You come to a forumn with only two posts and already being a d... please do us a favour and move on.

When you post READ the actual subject line first before you start pushing those keys and be constructive., neither of your posts in this thread are.

Dev, I am curious to learn whether you have had the 3 motors from the beginning or whether you worked your way up to 3 from one. There are many theoretical problems, or lets call them "issues" with 3 motors, and I wonder about your journey to get there. What differences did you hear with 3 motors vs one motor or 2 motors, if you ever tried either of the latter set-ups. Thanks.

For belt-drive, Dertonearm is a proponent of two motors set up at 180 degrees opposite each other, FWIW.

Hi Lew,
I worked my way up from 1 motor to 3 on my AC-3 and have tried it with the 180 degrees 2 motor set-up as well.
3 motors sounds best to these ears.

Cheers
