RAVEN GT 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

La GT2 est l\u2019ultime \u00e9volution de la Raven GT. Dans cette version, la GT2 est pass\u00e9e du statut de mod\u00e8le d’entr\u00e9e de gamme celui de tourne-disque pur \u00ab high end \u00bb, parfaitement utilisable dans un espace r\u00e9duit, m\u00eame avec deux grands bras de lecture et leur cellule haut de gamme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le ch\u00e2ssis, anodis\u00e9 noir, de la GT est en aluminium massif et p\u00e8se plus de 16 kg sans bras. Il est tr\u00e8s compact et prend \u00e0 peine un peu plus de place qu’un 12 “LP. Il incorpore l\u2019alimentation et le contr\u00f4leur du moteur<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le moteur d\u2019origine Pabst, profond\u00e9ment modifi\u00e9, est situ\u00e9 au plus pr\u00e8s et \u00e0 l\u2019arri\u00e8re du plateau, en sorte que la distance entre le plateau et la poulie du moteur soit maintenue au minimum. Cela permet l’utilisation d’une courroie extr\u00eamement courte qui entre en contact avec presque toute la circonf\u00e9rence du plateau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visuellement le changement le plus importante de la GT2 est le nouveau plateau. Celui-ci est constitu\u00e9 par l\u2019assemblage en sandwich d’un \u00e9pais plateau en Delrin sp\u00e9cial et d’un couvre plateau en bronze, le tout ayant un poids de 13,6 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La GT2 peut \u00eatre pourvue de deux bras de lecture. Elle est livr\u00e9e avec une embase universelle int\u00e9grant un adaptateur, en acier inoxydable, pour le bras de lecture choisi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le r\u00e9glage de la base support du bras de lecture, tr\u00e8s simple, est obtenue avec une grande pr\u00e9cision en quelques secondes. Ainsi la g\u00e9om\u00e9trie propre au bras retenu est parfaitement respect\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If claims of dubious wizardry, ostentatiousness and \u2018bling\u2019 styling are the chief requirements from your vinyl spinner, then look elsewhere, as TW ACUSTIC\u2019s Raven GT and Raven 10.5 offer none of these. However, intelligent design, superlative engineering, neat styling and just a hint of vinyl magic ensure that the combo offers a stunning performance that puts it right up with the long-playing greats.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Raven AC propose un plateur alliant les propri\u00e9t\u00e9s exceptionnelles du cuivre en conjonction avec celles de notre polym\u00e8re sp\u00e9cial. La reproduction musicale b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie d\u2019une sc\u00e8ne sonore \u00e9poustouflante et d\u2019une grande profondeur st\u00e9r\u00e9o, la repr\u00e9sentation des instruments gagne en substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019unit\u00e9 de commande de moteur est con\u00e7ue pour prendre en charge l’option d’entra\u00eenement \u00e0 trois moteurs. Une synchronisation parfaite entre les trois moteurs est assur\u00e9e par le syst\u00e8me de contr\u00f4le actif. La courroie d’entra\u00eenement usin\u00e9e de mani\u00e8re extr\u00eamement pr\u00e9cise, associ\u00e9e \u00e0 une tol\u00e9rance fine et des poulies adapt\u00e9es, donnent une stabilit\u00e9 de vitesse exceptionnelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editors Choice – The Absolute Sound<\/strong>

“The three-motor Raven AC-3 is an unsuspended table of relatively low mass made from very high-quality materials, including spectacular bits of copper. Every part of this black beauty has been machined to the highest possible tolerances; every aspect of its design ( from its standard- setting speed controller to its gel-filled, copper topped platter) has been tested and retested by measurement and by ear. The result of all this labor and ingenuity is a table that reproduces the duration of notes – from starting transient through lingering decay-more completely than any other. Perhaps the most purely “musical” table on the market.”

“This beautiful,superbly crafted, copper topped, three motor`table from Germany`s Thomas Woschnick ( the TW of TW Acustic) has garnered rave reviews worldwide. It surely deserves them as it reproduced the duration of musical notes – from starting transientto steady-state tone to decay – with grweater completeness and resolution than anything else I`ve yet heard. The result is astonishingly beautiful (and lifelike) reproduction of timbre and dynamic nuance.”
Jonathan Valin, Golden Ear Award 2008<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Here’s a company to watch. Whether you’re Looking at the fully tricked-out, three motor, Raven AC3 (see JV’s review in Issue 180) or this entry-level model, TW Acustic turntables are exeptionally musical, detailed, beautifully made, and of high value. Sharing much of the AC-3’s technology from the high-torque microprocessor-controlled, quartz-referenced DC motor to the specially formulated composite plinth material to the bearing assembley, and beyond the Raven One is the best high-end turntable value I know of.”
(Zitat: Wayne Garcia, Golden Ear Award 2008)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The absolute sound – March 2008  <\/strong>Jonathan Valin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“… The Raven AC-3 is not just a work of engineering genius, it is a work of musical genius, breaking previously unturned ground in the very areas (realistic tone color and dynamic nuance) that are the keys to enjoyment for most music lovers. It will remain in my system, alongside the mighty Walker, for as long as I`m allowed to keep it. This is that rare component that you will not only listen to, but also (quickly) fall in love with, and at its price, it is a steal. Naturally, it gets my highest recommendation.”

“The simple goal of spinning a record has a significant new manifestation in the TW ACUSTIC Raven AC. Designer Thomas Woschnick’s decade of R&D has created a turntable that can stand among its top-of-the-line peers from other manufacturers. The Raven AC makes a strong statement about the right way for an LP to sound — with the richness, body and tonal color inherent in live music — and presents an effective model for dealing with unwanted noise that can blur or mask musical detail. The Raven AC addresses the issues of analog playback in thoughtful ways, and the sonic outcome is hard to argue with. Turntables makers who are committed to their task with singular focus are a rare breed, but some of them do exist. VPI’s Harry Weisfeld, Basis Audio’s A.J. Conti, and Immedia’s Allen Perkins have all created more than one well-received turntable, and each has his own ideas about how to do it. Add Thomas Woschnick to this list. The Raven AC is a rare accomplishment and a fresh new analog voice.”
