Modified Lenco vs TW Raven

I heard from a reliable source TW is working on how to spin the platter at constant speeds during play back ,however chat amoug TW owners festival keep TW busy with sales of new and improved platters, bearings , motors and rubber bands.

You may have missed this thread and this post is a great place to start but there is a lot of great info there -
Haters gonna hate

Halcro puts in bunch of effort and shows the TW speed accuracy to be excellent. But hay, nothing is perfect.

I have TW AC3 NEVER had any trouble with speed always 100% on speed 33 or 45 also sounds wonderful.

Living in DC, we are very fortunate to have a plethora of live music at our fingertips, sources range from the Kennedy Center concerts to small clubs downtown. We attend live performances at least once a month, more like twice a month since recent movies have been so terrible. Small group jazz is most often what I go out to hear and big bands whenever possible. Since I am an amateur jazz vocalist, I especially seek out good vocalists. If you sit close enough to avoid the PA system, you can get the "live" sensation. What always impresses me are the dynamics of live music and how live music usually does NOT provide for distinct placement of instruments that is so sought for in "hi-fi". There is NOTHING so soul satisfying to me as a good big band jazz session, live in person. In addition, I periodically invite musicians to play in my living room, right in between my gigantic ESL speakers with no amplification whatever. That's a much more rare event but great fun.

I’m disappointed to read In_shore’s apparent ‘dig’ at Raven as I have always appreciated his informative and even-handed postings in the past…
Perhaps we are misinterpreting him here Tdaudio…❓👀
Apart from the Timeline Video displaying better performance than Syntax’s Micro SX-5000 turntable which appears to suffers from severe motor cogging…..here is the Feikert Speed App performance chart for the Raven AC-2 which demonstrates better performance than Fremer’s test of the new VPI Direct Drive which Fremer ranks A+ alongside his Continuum Caliburn in the latest Stereophile Recommended Components issue...😎
Note the fact that the Raven AC-2 is far closer to the ‘absolute’ speed of 33.33rpm as indicated by the Test Tone frequency 3150Hz and the Wow and Flutter figures are similarly impressive…😍
Needless to say…these are far better figures than Fremer recorded for his Caliburn…😎

So apart from Syntax’s ongoing personal vendetta against Thomas Woschnick and his TW Acustic Company….the detractors of Raven turntables should study some ‘objective’ scientific data and try to match them with their own turntables for all of us to observe….😜❓

Halcro, I took In_shore's comments to be passing along info he heard. Nothing more.

Thanks again for all the work you put in testing your tables. There is a lot there for analog lovers.

It is amazing how internet trolls can just make stuff up and never have to prove anything.
