TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm

Hi All

I'm 'considering' a TW Raven tonearm BUT that silly looking bird painted on the bearing section really puts me off. I've got in contact with TW Acustic but he will not return my emails. The silly looking painted bird looks so out of place on a tonearm. My 4 year old daughter painted one just like it last week.

Does anyone know if it is screen printed on or etched. If screen printed I could take it off with paint stripper!

Ah, birds everywhere - maybe due to spring time.

I just found another one on a record sleeve. Sounds good on my Raven!

Black Bird

Here's one I always hesitate to play on my Raven (I don't know if it is a bad omen):

Dead Bird

Sorry D, but why are you "considering" this tonearm at all? Because of performance issues or because of proper aesthetics?

Amazing.

You can ask Porsche to de-badge the car, change suspension, even increase power..no problem. Jaeger-LeCoultre will help 'tailor' the watch just for you. Even my electrician was accomodating with the audio side of things.

All of my 'kit' so far is bespoke (non-standard). Yes it costs extra BUT at least I get what I want and it suites the surroundings.

Don't you guys EVER want something unique?

Oh well....

I am sure the Raven arm is excellent, it is very expensive. I use the Ortofon 309D on my Raven One and could'nt be happier. For the price it is great value and it is the arm Thomas at TW, has been using on his Raven one
