TW-Acustic Raven GT

The German specialist manufacturer tw-acustic completes its range of world-renowned turntables with the Raven GT.

With a new design, the Raven GT is very compact while offering the possibility of mounting two tonearms without any sonic compromise and at a reasonable price.

The new GT is distinguished from the Raven ONE by its 6 kg platter, its 22 kg chassis in black anodized aluminum, and its reduced footprint as it takes up no more space than a 30 cm.

The vibration-free DC motor is integrated into the chassis as close as possible to the platter to allow the use of a very short belt ensuring excellent contact on almost the entire periphery of this platter. This results in an extremely low wow and flutter rate (0.02%), practically never achieved by a belt-driven turntable and rather reserved for the latest generation of Japanese direct-drive turntables. At startup, the speed is reached almost instantly.

Compact, reliable, and easily adjustable with any tonearm (one or two), the Raven GT is built for years of high-level musical enjoyment.
