Offered is „Raven LS“ by TW-Acustic as new device from the category „Record Player Drive“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6925379468 ends on 20.10.2026 at 06:02 o'clock.
Timing matters here because this is an established classic rather than a current-production gamble, so the real question is whether the asking price is sensible for the used market. At €12,000, it sits above the €11,621 75th percentile of your recent comps, so I’d call it ambitious rather than a straight bargain.
That said, this is a well-regarded belt-drive deck with serious audiophile credibility: stable speed, strong isolation, and the kind of presentation that rewards a good arm and cartridge match. If the listing is genuinely clean, with original packaging, dust cover, and no bearing or motor issues, the premium can be easier to justify for a buyer who wants a keeper. If anything is missing or service history is vague, I’d want more proof before paying top-of-market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
