Brinkmann vs TW Acustic


Was wondering how these two German manufacturers compare.
Bardo vs Raven One
Oasis vs Raven GT
LaGrange vs Raven AC
Is there a unique sound signature that goes up with the range? Which is a better value? (i.e. maybe the Oasis is better than the Raven AC)
Have heard both in show conditions, but could not pin-point their contribution to the end result as the rest of the system was unfamiliar as well.

I'm not at home right now to double-check but I referred to slower based on the 33 mark moving in the direction the "slower-arrow" is pointing to on the strobe-remote-gadget . I thought this designates slower speed because I recall having to increase speed to move the mark back to a steady position. I'll double check this weekend.

If indeed the table slows down with one motor, then I suspect the three motors supply ample torque to compensate thus effect and that us why you dont see a drift. In any case, the mark does move on mine.

I was referring to leveling if the plinth. Not the motor.

I tried Millenium and Boston mat and like the bare copper the best.

Syntax, since you are all knowing, please let us know, is TW motor spinning at 34 rpm, 40 rpm, 30 rpm or what.
PS, I am also curious, before Timeline came out, do you use ya turntable? Were you able to dial in the speed as accurately with other method as accurately as Timeline? If no, were you able to enjoy listening to LP at all? If yes, why did you bother to buy Timeline, to enjoy the blinking light?
We all know that TW speed is not within tolerance of Timeline but it is certainly well within tolerance of Kab strobe.
So what does that mean? People who are not using Timeline are obviously clueless and do not have proper hearing ability to appreciate good turntable then!
Before Timeline came out, anybody who claims turntable is good obviously have no clue what they are talking about either!
Dev,

Too many questions and you are busy bashing the table. May I ask why you want to know? Just gave you the facts buddy. I did a battery drain test twice. I stood there and watched the spectrum analyzer while the test tone track played beginning to end. Also twice at different times. With and without my Harmonix weight. I didn't check with my outer ring though.

I have a question for you though? What does MBL have to say about acting your amps with the VAC tube amp? Did they think it would work. Seems still like a tough combination with the impedance range of your speakers not being easy for the amps to handle. I just don't know any tube amp that can.

Did you buy your table from Jeff or TW or someone else? New or used? Did you know the Minus K was optimized fr the BN or the AC? What is the weight difference between both? Is it adjustable? If yes how? Did you adjust it?

I don't want you to be ignored or I will hurt Syntax's feelings. But I need to learn how to ignore him. I just can't. Do you know why? Can you offer me advice on how to ignore him better? Why do you need to jump on the negative bandwagon for every TW thread? Did TW or Jeff do anything personally to hurt you? Was it something else? Is your friendship with the Micro Seiki group very important to you? Do you know the truth about why Syntax has an axe to grind with TW?
