Raven AC one motor


Hi,
The standard Raven AC has no mat, only copper.

Has anybody done any testing to see if any mats out there can improve (? possible?) the Raven AC?

Thanks for comments.

I use the Millenium mat that came with my TW raven AC-3 and it is very good. This is what Thomas recommends and uses I believe.
I also have the Boston mat, but have not really used it yet. I will try it out and comment
I also have the Raven AC (one motor) and agree with Downunder.
I tried the Millenium may on and off. I like it on. I also tried the mat with the felt side up and the smooth side up. Both work well however I think this is where it becomes "fine tuning" your system. This is where, depending on your speakers and amps, you can play around.

On another not, a record clamp also made a difference in the tuning of the overall sound.

Something on the copper - doesn't matter what - is much better for details in all frequeny areas. The Millenium is nothing special, on the carbon side the record will slide. Try the Harmonics mat and clamp, that's something serious.
Ditto to all my fellow TW owners and the responses posted. I use the Millenium Mat supplied by TW Raven and I have added the HRS Record Weight. In spite of TW's insistance that a clamp or weight is unnecessary with his TT, the addition of such is a no brainer and the benfits of giving the record a more secure mooring against the platter are instantly obvious.
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.
