Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable

Hi Slowhand,

if you re-read your original posting you actually said allot more than that which opened up further discussions.

You posted Jeff saying;

"Jeff, at Highwater Sound has said that owners of the TW Acustic Raven One turntable can experience a huge improvement in sound by replacing the Raven One motor controller with the controller from the Raven AC turntable."

which opened up discussions, doesn't that have you wondering how this can be.


Blackburn,

it's okay not to like a specific product or product line but why do you continue to troll sites posting sarcasm instead of being constructive. All one needs to do is read your PAST history of only seven postings. In reading such you mention in so many words how you did your evaluations, "EVERYONE STAND UP AND CLAP for William" you actually haven't even had any of the product in your set-up but quickly become opinionated which is okay but to me only demonstrates your lack of credibility.

The table is only a part of the set-up and for you to say they are boring sounding is just rediculous.

Only slightly off subject, I changed a flimsy power cord for a lessloss DPFC cord on the Raveen one controller and was very suprised at the improvement. The last thing I expected an upgraded cord to help , is a turntable motor. As someone else has said, all it has to do is turn a platter at 33 and1/3 or 45RPM, just how hard is that?

Well obviously it's very hard.

I wonder if the TW motor controller fucntion is very dependant on the quality of the main power supply.

Jaspert, I don't think that should be so. One of the functions of the motor controller itself is to protect the tt motor from poor quality mains supply, including ideally AC voltage instability.

I would replace it with the VPI motor unit + SDS
