Raven AC one motor

FYI - The Raven AC one motor currently comes with the Millenium mat. That may be fairly recent though.

I am interested in opinions on this subject.

don't mean to jack the thread but does anyone use a periphery ring?

I tried the VPI Ring. It did not fit the platter. The record sits on the section of the platter which is copper and the outermost circumference of the side walls of the platter extend beyond the copper portion making the overall dimension greater than the VPI Ring.

I also have a VPI HRX and the VPI outer ring definitely does not fit.

I invested in a Orb ( OEM of air tight old model) LP flatener from Japan. Works well except on new Universal 180gm re-issues.

I have used the Millenium mat but have obtained the best result using a solid graphite mat 1/4" thick.
