With their first model  the original Raven  perfect build quality became the standard. Not only that, back then Tw broke new ground and were the first manufacturer to use a custom-developed synthetic compound based on Delrin. Due to its perfect damping properties, it is almost impossible nowadays to think of a better choice of material than this for modern turntable construction. Also, the use of high-torque motors and sophisticated controllers allowed us to set a new benchmark. Thanks to their developments, music-lovers worldwide are able to indulge their audiophile passions with full satisfaction, and to enjoy their fascination with turntables on an impressive level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo celebrate TW Acustics tenth birthday in March 2013 they present the \"Raven AC Anniversary\". The Anniversary represents a new statement in turntable manufacture. It is based on the Raven AC chassis, machined from their well-known proprietary custom compound with a screwed-in stainless-steel plate. The Anniversarys platter is a composite construction consisting of 40mm thick copper fixed to a 20mm thick slice of their proprietary compound. Consequently, the platter is basically equal to that of the Black Night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anniversary model has a very solid armboard machined from 30mm thick aluminium. Tw can provide the relevant adaptors for every tonearm. To achieve the correct mounting distance, the position of the adaptor for your particular tonearm can be adjusted steplessly in the slot in 1mm increments. To facilitate this they have etched a scale on the armboard showing 210310mm. Should you wish to install more tonearms, extra swivel bases can be installed as before with the original Raven AC. From an acoustic point of view, the Anniversary offers the same advantages as the Raven AC, but thanks to the modifications keeps a firm eye on its bigger brother the Raven Black Night. Similar to the Black Night, the Anniversary lets the music flow, yet remains composed and pairs dynamics with incomparable transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is rare in this class to experience such resolution and dynamics in music. With the Raven AC Anniversary they bring you a big step closer to the ideal of real high fidelity musical reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEXTRAS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaven AC Anniversary platter for AC: £3495,00 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaven AC Anniversary arm board: £2195,00 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL INFORMATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis 30 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter: 20 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor unit: 3 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor control unit: 2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e550 mm x 400 mm (W x D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor diameter: 119 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal footprint: 600 mm x 400 mm (W x D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChassis construction:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 60 mm TW ACUSTIC's proprietary Delrin-based compound, stainless disk rigidly screwed to chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeet:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThree, stainless steal, height adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlatter construction:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 40 mm copper in combination with 20 mm of our special compound let into and screwed together with the copper platter.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBearing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBronze bearing, 16 mm hard metal shaft with ball on top, running on a thrust washer of 'Material S ® (green)'.
