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.

Dgad,

yes, you`re right it blocks motor vibrations if implemented properly.
This no argument against speed control or not using the Timeline. It is an additional measurement improving the sound. Believe me I worked and experimented a lot on vibration issues. Also the original air dampened Micro base for my SX 8000 II comprises two separated top-bases , one for the motor, one for the drive. To put the exact pressure on the belt or string you can move them closer by a very smart button device on the side of the heavy base. A very elegant and effective solution!

Dear Peterayer,
you concern is absolutely okay. You need to level all three platforms in a way that they meet exactely the height you need. I do this with Copulare Coral lifters under the platforms by which you can adjust pretty fine turning the lifter. Just try it - you will not believe what you heard before!

In the SME case you described everything is done well.

CT0517, I only have one motor. It takes around 13-15s for the platter to come to a complete stop when I timed mine (Raven AC-1 with BN battery supply)

Thanks for that info Suteetat.
Is anyone running two motors or three ? Does the 13 -15 seconds elapsed time of a single motor – (platter to a complete stop from 33 1/3) – change when an additional motor is added?

Can anyone supply this data? I will provide some comparisons that I think are interesting and relevant especially if using battery.

Thanks

If a 160 pds Vibraplane with another 100+ pds tt slides away putting additional 0.2 pds on it, you have a serious problem with your total setup. Maybe that's also the reason why 200g records sound different from 180grs ;)
