  Vpi vs. TW Acustic
My analog rig consists of a VPI Aries I, Triplanar, and Benz LP. My SoCal dealer suggests the Grand Prix Monaco TT should be my next move. However I don't have that kind of moola lying around and just try finding a used one. It ain't happening. So, would the TW Raven One be a big improvement over the the Aries or too much of a sideways move? And without the opportunity to audition, too risky?

Sirspeedy has an issue of other sorts. He has sold off his system due to having a problems that have nothing to do with TW.

Sirspeedy why don't you just come out and state your true complaints. It isn't fair to everyone here for you to bash a product based on your personal grudge. I am sorry but it is far too obvious.
