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.

Dear Lewm: Sorry nto disturb you. IMHO is relevant because Dev is talkind about one critical audio subject: accuracy and things are that he owns tube technology that IMHO is not really accurat Nothing against tubes as you could think, only a " coincidence " and not because SS.

Regrads and enjoy the music,

Raul, You tend to use the term "distortion" to describe any factor that results in a deviation from perfect reproduction (whatever that is, and sadly it is often subjective) of what you perceive to be in the grooves. In that sense, I agree that electronics that distort and distortion due to tt speed aberrations could be lumped. All I am saying is that the two are qualitatively very different. They will be perceived differently. If you have perfect electronics, you will still hear the tt distortions. If you have a perfect turntable (in terms of speed accuracy) then you will still hear imperfect electronics. The two "distortions" are of a very different kind with respect to one another. This is why I wrote that one has nothing to do with the other. By now, we know how you feel about tubes. I don't think your analogy between distortions due to electronics and distortions caused by tt speed aberration is a very good one, for reasons just stated.
Syntax, you wrote "...you find for everything a matching example. May I tell you a little story, it is a bit different, but in a way comparable."

Are you inferring that SME provides turntables with higher speed accuracy performance to professional musicians and conductors only? That is how I interpret your analogy to the BMW M5 reviewer and the club owners after they complained about performance.

Could you clarify your point?
What is the speed accuracy of reel to reel please? Does anyone know.

Wasn't much of vinyl originally sourced as such?
