TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions

Vibraplane was something that I looked at initially as well and it seems that ebay is the best source. The price is right but there is not a lot of information about it. Most sellers only shipped within the US and some will only sell it as is with no guarantee that it is actually functioning :(
I am also worried about servicing if the unit has a problem overhere! So Minus K seems like a safer choice for now.

I think that using separate platform on top of Minus K will also allow for easier centering of the mass rather than using a larger custom top. I am a bit worry about using aluminium as top plate as well. In the past, I experimented a bit with aircraft grade aluminium platform under speakers, turntable, amps etc. I find it to give better impact, more focus bass, extended top but at a cost of adding hardness and edge to midrange. Of what I could find locally here for TW, I find black granite (one of those with higher density than regular granite) to be better than local pooltable slate slab and both better than aluminium by a bit. I wonder what would be a good footer for the slab of slate/granite on Minus K since there is a little screws on top on K Minus so I can't lay a platform on top directly.

If you are refering to the screws that you see in their web photo's. Those are there for transport to lock the plate down. They are removable, at least in the unit I had.

I see. So the top plate is totally flat then?

Yes.
