Hartvig TT signature vs TW Black Knight



Hi Everyone ,

I'm still hunting for my next turntable and above 2 tables are my top 2 choices left. I have heard the Hartvig TT signature with full upgrade options with battery supply for motor and copper platter upgrade last night at my friend's listening room. The Hartvig TT sig was using Phantom Supreme II 12" arm with DV xv1t cartridge , Goldmund Amp , and Tidal Speakers.

I was impressed with the very fine presentation of the HARTVIG and the super quiet and very very black background due to battery supply for the motor.The timing is top notch with a bit of correct warmness and resolution that is jaw dropping. The music is really alive in the listening room with no harsh or trace of fatigue in all frequencies.

I have not heard the black knight and can not decide to Hartvig without hearing or received any thoughts or comments for serious consideration for the difference of these 2 tables.

Your comments are very highly appreciated.

If you are serious about the Hartvig, Dreamaudio, I would be concerned about the geometric stability of a ~2cm thick cantilevered acrylic armboard?
First thing I would ask is if they do it in aluminium or bronze. There's more than enough damping within that structure anyway? :)

The arm pillar and armboard arrangement otherwise looks very similar to the AC....(apart from what looks like an optional constrained layer version?)
