Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ?

*** Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? ***

I have never heard a reed arm but they must be some of the BEST arms available. I like that they use a wood arm tube. I also like the fact that they have fine adjustments and to my eyes they are beautiful to look at too.

The acustic one table must be very quiet,well designed and neutral table.

This combo should at the very least be a great combo. Generally speaking, it is a superb combo but if you go past speaking generally and you move into 'aficionado sonic tasting' ultimately you must taste it yourself, contemplate it, spend some time with the combo and provide your own opinion based upon the taste buds that god gave YOU. This sonic tasting should be viewed as a pleasure and not a chore!

So, I dont think there is anyway that you wouldnt basically like the combo since they are great pieces, eventually the question will arise, is the sound i am getting with this combo more than i could ever want or expect from a turntable/combo? or will the sound eventually make me eye wander elswhere?

Im not assuming the answer one way or the other and no one can definitively answer it for you.

Is it a good combo?

Generally, yes, you can expect to get a high degree of sonic virtues from this combo.

Definitively, you'll have to try and see.

There are many flavours out there. Try as many as you can and find a way to enjoy them all as you are trying them.

With that said, I would venture to say, yes indeed that would be a very good combo!

Hi there, I think the Raven 1 is great value for money and will work with the Talia ( yes I've heard the Raven ). However given you've already got a good arm, you might want to consider going up to the Raven AC 1 and stay with the SME which is excellent. Your system is very good and will easily deliver the upgrade in sound quality the AC offers over the model 1.

Vertigo: Unfortunately, getting the opportunity to audition this combination in my own system is as difficult as reversing Earth's rotation.

Dover: I really prefer to stick with only one tonearm, and lean toward the more compact Raven One. However, I do intend to think a little more about possibly staying with my SME IV.Vi. I just had the pros at SME in England rewire it with the very fine Audio Note internal tonearm wire, and it does sound quite good. Nonetheless, the Reed does rank high on my desire list, and I very much like its looks and features as well as being impressed by what I've heard regarding its sound.

The Reed 3Q will be my next arm in addition to my beloved Clearaudio Universal arm.
