A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Halcro,

Talking about solid and level base, is your wall shelf sagging a bit on the left side from all the weight with some gold coins under the TW Raven AC footers?

Lewn, Everything is as it is. I get that. Just being foolish. Hey, I'm still trying to fine tune a learn about azimuth.

Yes Jaspert,
The shelf being cantilevered on aluminium brackets from the wall and carrying the weights of both turntables, preamp,tuner,tape deck,DVD, VCR and Plasma TV slopes in all directions?

That's why there are solid spacers under the adjustable Stillpoints of the Raven as well as under all 9 feet of the motors. And that's also why each arm-pod surrounding the TT-81 has 3 adjustable levelling spikes.
Life as an audiophile wasn't meant to be easy?

Blackburn,
Interesting question?
I've never actually heard the big Micros that Thuchan and Syntax have but I assume you are correct that they sound differently to each other?
I'm sure that they and Dertonarm would be able to offer some explanations but I don't think any Raven owners would like to hear them? :-)

Dear Dertonarm,

getting "rid" of the turntables plinth will be very similar (sonic-wise..) to "castrate" the turntable.

I would have thought the same before I tried Raul's 'Nude Turntable Project'?
The bass I get out of this 'plinthless' DD is even better than the Raven with plinth?
Cheers
Henry
