THE Show Newport 2012 Hot Product
Jeff Catalano, US distributor of TW-Acustic
products, describes the new Raven GT ($10,000) as a cross between the company's Raven One
and Raven Limited. It has an all-aluminum plinth, instead of one machined from
TW-Acustic's proprietary material used for the Raven One and Raven AC. This gives the GT,
again according to Jeff, "a different sound -- faster and punchier."
Like the Raven Limited, the motor for the
Raven GT is built into the plinth instead of being outboard, giving the GT a smaller
footprint, but unlike the Limited, it comes set up for two tonearms. |
