Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ?

I have the Raven One and use the Benz LP, which is on your list of cartridges. I can't comment on the Reed arm I'm afraid, but did E-mail Thomas at TW re arm choice. At that time, he used and strongly recommended the Ortofon 309D arm, on the Raven one, which I bought.
I must say it seems to be a very good match with the Benz LP, tracking well and making a beautiful sound. I used a second hand Koetsu Onyx which was a poor match, due to compliance mismatch. Unfortunate, because I love the Koetsu sound

David: Would I be correct in assuming your Ortofon arm has a pretty neutral sound? If so, yes I would imagine that combined with the Raven and Benz, it would provide a nice balance tonally speaking. I don't know what kind of music you mostly listen to, but have you detected any kind of roll off as far as presence information from anything related to the influence of Raven One itself?

Too much warmth interfering with what I'm looking/listening for or not?

Hm, difficult, but I guess it will be more in the red bass impulses linked with a touch of blue air. In combination with a grey background the sonic result can be bulb-yellow. In short: Perfect.

Syntax: I just stole a peek at your audio system. Speaking about perfection..............!!!

Vertigo: Unfortunately, getting the opportunity to audition this combination in my own system is as difficult as reversing Earth's rotation.

I have reversed the earths rotation only once and it was hard! you have to reverse the detrotonic charge between pulses but only on the 16th day of a 31 day month, when you do it then there is no observable change. Thats why it never made the news.

but...anyways...

Based on the above:

We can only SAY it should be a good combo AND ...you might not find it totally satisfying to your tastes. Only after owning it will you know that.

You wouldnt want us to say...Oh its an amazing combo, go for it you'll be totally satisfied! then When something is lacking for you, you wonder where is the "amazing combo?"

There's nothing objective about our answers, if you want to just have fun and ask questions, i'm not knocking that just understand that ultimately only you will be able to answer the question of whether or not it is a good combo for you.

I dont like the kind of girls my friend finds attractive, its neither of our faults and both of us are right. I cant believe the ones he likes and he cant believe i like the ones i do...How do you get to the bottom of that? How do we get to the bottom of whether or not its a good combo?

This thread is just a fun discussion. And thats fine.

I'm saying this for all those who take threads too seriously.
