Complete package wit TW Raven 10.5 tonearm. Both the turntable and arm are in excellent condition. All original packaging included.
TW Acustic’s Raven One sits in the sweet spot of the brand’s serious, no-nonsense belt-drive lineup, and £4,500 looks like a strong buy against the recent comparable market. With a median of £9,587 and a 25th percentile of £4,802, this asking price lands just below the lower quartile, which is exactly where you want to see a clean example of a desirable turntable. In other words: this is priced as a bargain, not merely “reasonable.”
The appeal here is the Raven One’s blend of speed stability, low noise, and the very solid, ultra-refined presentation TW is known for; it’s the kind of deck that can anchor a high-end system for years. An excellent-condition listing at this level is worth serious attention, especially if it includes the original box, armboard, clamp, and any factory accessories. I’d mainly want to confirm bearing health, suspension/fit-and-finish, and that the arm compatibility is sorted, but at £4,500 the upside is clearly attractive.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
