About the Raven AC
The TW Acustic Raven AC is a high-end turntable designed and manufactured in Germany by TW Acustic. It features a modified motor control system and bronze armboard as standard. The turntable benefits from TW Acustic's proprietary Delrin-based compound material, which provides excellent damping properties for superior sound reproduction. The composite platter combines copper with the special compound material, delivering breathtaking soundstaging, stereo depth, and instrument substance. The turntable employs a maintenance-free belt drive system and is available in both one-motor and three-motor configurations, with the three-motor version providing a more relaxed sound with improved imaging. The AC version represents a significant update from earlier models with an improved motor control unit designed to support the three-motor drive option.
