Acustic Raven One vs Basis 2200 Signature

Raven more open,better bass ,more dynamic,more musical.

What arm and cartridge?
What motor controller?
What’s the rest of the system?

It all matters. In general Bothe tables are above average by a long shot. After that it comes down to preference. I've dealt with most of the Basis line (own two of them) and setup Raven One and AC3.

I like both tables. In either case setup is vitally important. I can make (have made) both sound really good so it's really a matter of taste and what you are looking for. You can't go wrong with either one if all of the very general questions I posted above are taken into account.

Dunlavy SC-4 speakers, Air Tight ATM-3 monoblock amps, EAR 88PB phono preamp, Dynavector XV-1S and Benz Ebony LP cartridges, SME IV.Vi tonearm, but possibly going to Reed arm w/copper wiring and Eichmann copper bullets. I like a sound that is slightly romantic i.e. some warmth in lower midrange/upper bass. Don't care for dead on neutral, very clean, tight sound.
