Raven One


I was curious what the feedback has been on the baby Raven turntable. I can't afford the Raven AC. Does anyone know the cost? If the laws of diminishing returns apply, this should have great performance.

thanks for looking.

Hey Emailists,

Did you get your Raven One yet? I am now in the que for May. Saw your post for the Shroeder Arm. What arm did you decide on? I am getting a Triplanar for mine.
Hi Duc,

In investigating I found a table that I believe will be
much more satisfying than the Raven One. Here is a link.

I think it will require a bit more tweeking to get the same level of performance.

Okay if you clicked the link, I appear to have lost my mind. The Raven One is still several weeks away.
I'll post back when it's here and mounted.
Hi emailists, in deciding to go for the Raven One, did you compare it with the Raven AC? I am contemplating between the two but will not get the chance to compare side by side.
Many thanks.
you had me shocked there for a minute emailists.
david: in europe reports are that the AC and One are very close. some listeners think the One is more dynamic (it is quite a bit lighter). for me the logistics of using a 190 lbs turntable is too cumbersome. there is a bit of buzz on pink fish media (i started a thread asking about the Vivid 2 tonearm)
