Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable


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.

Has anyone tried this? Jeff is the authority on the Raven turntables, so I am sure he is right about this. I am just curious to hear from any Raven One owners that have tried this.

Blackburn,

I think you are missing the point, just so you know I'm not obsessing over you or your gear.

I personally have nothing against you and truely enjoy discussing with others in this whole audio thing we have in common but when someone "YOUR POSTS" are aggresive basically telling people what ever they own is crap, broken, over priced etc. is just wrong.

When someone "SOME OF YOUR STATEMENTS" are just not true and again come across as an attack well you know this is just wrong.

You can read through my past threads and see that I don't bash individules, suggest thier gear is crap etc. but I will call the person out just like I have with you.

You weren't suggesting I buy "A" list product from the reviews were you? or you you saying you do? because if you were referring to me that is absolutely not true I don't even read them.

Who cares what one pays or what one costs, it's all relative and if the person can aford it why are you so darn concerned.

My VAC amps list for $78K, my MBL's $60K that's allot more than the TW BK table. I'm looking at purchasing a car that will cost me over $300K, who cares I can afford it.

Again even in this posting you seem to have a reason to slam and be sarcastic when you say;

"long story that you and your TW brothers would find madding complicated and confusing."

Why so sarcastic again? it's not needed.

Refer to my first posting in this specific thread and read it, I was trying to find out what was actually going on, it's you and a few others posting who appear to have hidden agendas and a axe to grind with TW product.

Please educate me, I'm always open minded. What's the big secret, tell us what you have.


That's a pretty cool set-up, Syntax. Clearly you have studied at the feet of Dertonearm, at the school of two motors.
Hi Lew,

the second Motor was useless here. but it looks good, or?
I made my studies about that long, long, long before.
And I closed that chapter long, long, long time ago.

Motors and other things
I guess I will still never get an answer as to why this upgrade to a motor controller had such a profound effect. And that is my only reason for commenting on this thread. To find out why so I can extrapolate to other systems. But alas, it was not to be.
Dev, Lewm sorry to have misled by my response to a poster who takes every opportunity available to make snide posts on TW Acustic threads. TW topics bring out a dark emotional side in these people. Sometimes I think its a “anything to get attention” thing.

I was anticipating the next snide suggestion in my post of using the SDS as a filter for the Raven one motor controller.

But hey, lets compare TW tables to Linn because they have so much in common.

As for upgrading the motor controller of the Raven One, I think of the significant differences in the price point of the One, the AC / AC3 and the Black Night. I don’t know how well the quality of the controllers follow the price points of the respective turntables but there is certainly very good possibility that the controllers up the line from the One are noticeably better than the controller that comes with the Raven One. I assume they are not the same if Jeff is selling this as an upgrade. Would most people agree with the “huge improvement” comment? Who knows, but don’t be thrown off your horse by a little sales pitch.
