I have an AS-309S arm on my TW Akustic Raven One, installed by Jeff Catalano of Highwater Sound in NYC-it was his demo arm and I got a good deal on it. Sounds very good-very clear and dynamic, picks up very little distortion, a little bit towards the warm side but then my whole system is geared that way because I'm very sensitive to steely treble. I had a VPI TT before the Raven, it had an Audioquest arm and this setup is leaps and bounds beyond it in every parameter. And its my understanding too that the designer uses Ortofon arms on the TW Austic turntables. Ortofon has probably been a little more popular in Europe since its an old Danish company.

What are the differences sonically and in general use of the Static and Dynamic versions of each??
