ToffenG, I'm using a Synergistic Research Tricon Analog innerconnect with my Raven One/Ortofon AS 309 combo (Dynavector cart). I've had it since last April so its well burned in, and couldnt be happier (well, maybe I could if I could afford something like the Tara The Zero).Great timbre of instruments,very good detail but not overly etched, no spurious noise, silent background. Cant help but think you would be very happy with it. Happy listening with whatever you choose!--Mrmitch
Cartridge and step up / riaa for TW Acustic Raven
Hi!
I hope you all are well :)
If everything gets together I will buy a TW Acustic Raven One with a Graham Phantom II in the new year. The next step is to buy a cartridge and phono amp.
My equipment consist of Wilson Sophias II, Burmester 032 integrated amp, Burmester 061 cd player, Nordost Tyr interconnects and speaker cables, Thor powerdistributor with Nordost Brahma powerlines. In addition to this I have a Revox B77 mk2 reel to reel player.
The Burmester sound is in many ways similar to McIntosh, but slightly more on the ying side. The sound is clear and open, with a wonderful mids. The treble is smooth and detailed. The bottom is dynamic and deep, but more running with the flow than with a slam. The bigger 911 mk3 amp is more detailed in the bottom. But the price level is different too.
So I have to combine a cartridge and phono amp to this. I play all kind of music, since I am both is a talent buyer for rock pop festivals and a consultant for the national arts council regarding music (all kinds). So I listen a lot to music through the week.
I like dynamic open detailed open sound, but I do not like it overly analytical if that means too much forward in its presentation.
I like the sound in my system at the moment. However, I have to do something with my listening room, but thats another story. Its an ongoing process as we know!
My budget at this point will be approx. USD 3,000 for the phono amp and USD 1,500 for the cartridge. Maybe step later on.
The dealer of TW Acustic has reccommended Koetsu and Air Tight.
Thanks for your help!
