Question for TW Acustic Owners

A while back I realized that I had gone over a year with out a lube job. When I pulled the platter there was plenty of lube still there and it looked fine. After relubing there was no change in sound that I could tell. That is with the newer lube that Elinor described. I listen to 3 hours of actual playing time twice a week on average. So once a year seems to be enough.

Thanks for all the answers and responses everyone. Td, it sounds like out listening schedules are about the same. I have the newer squeeze bottle oil/lube.

Any indication to lubricate the motor like I did with the VPI motors?

No motor lube under any circumstance.

Thanks for the wakeup call. Its been over a year if not more since I did this.

Phib7777, Based on my modest experience with VPI, owned a Aries 2 and later upgraded to the super platter, the VPI bearings are much much smaller than the Raven. That means that pressure per square inch, psi, is way higher with the VPI.

No expert in this area but the lubs required for each application would be considerably different.

Hard for me to see how one could damage the Raven bearing. The VPIs is fairly small and lub maintenance would be more an issue of neglected imo.
