Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable


Jeff, at Highwater Sound has said that owners of the TW Acustic Raven One turntable can experience a huge improvement in sound by replacing the Raven One motor controller with the controller from the Raven AC turntable.

Has anyone tried this? Jeff is the authority on the Raven turntables, so I am sure he is right about this. I am just curious to hear from any Raven One owners that have tried this.

Hi Syntax,

curious why would you write such;

"I would replace it with the VPI motor unit + SDS"

Is that what works BEST with your modified Micro Seiki RX-5000 table?
Syntax, Sorry about that. I did notice that you recommended VPI MOTOR plus SDS the first time around (yesterday), but I obviously could not retain such complex information in my pretty little audiophile head whilst composing my last post. Someone else also got the message wrong, which is what set me off.
Syntax maybe pictures along with caption "VPI dual Motor flywheel assembly + SDS.

Something like that

Syntax, okay but I still don't understand why you would sugest such, no need to explain.

It's great that Peterayer started the other thread, the individuals who have posted there have been very helpful, what a difference from some individuals who have posted in this thread.

No attacks, not trying to suggests something is wrong with what they have but instead just very educational, proper info. traded back and forth, I personally never knew there was that much going on and involved.
My dear Dev one last time, now your obsessing over me and my stereo. : )

OK you can stop obsessing : )

I am concerned ,hopefully you can grasp the meaning of these sentences and not get them all fouled up like your TW acoustic brothers.

First though I have a question, am I off with the price of the BK ???? this is yet another bash to my credibility.

: (

You mean they were able to hold back the price since 2009!!! of $40,000.00!!!!
Maybe on top with further discounts and a bogus low ball invoice for border customs, a stunning deal!
Practically unheard of in the industry!!! just how can they do it!!!

: o

OK.
I buy only "A" list audio magazine category components. I read all the reviews only of the best available .
Then search the internet for even more talk to help validate potential purchases.
People in this hobby know what they are doing now, my question is what did they do before the internet????

OK back to your concerns and mine.

Though my new table was just replaced with an old one at half the price purely on musical grounds, I did feel foolish about the 30 grand spent on two occasions, long story that you and your TW brothers would find madding complicated and confusing.
