I currently own a Raven One with a Raven 10.5" arm and am considering moving up to either the AC or the AC Anniversary model. I have always been very happy with the Raven One and am keen to hear from anyone who has made a similar upgrade and if they feel the benefits justified the additional outlay. Also is the AC Ani basically an AC with the newer style arm board section or is it more than that? I really like the design of this and the way that the tonearm mount can be micro adjusted.

One other option to add to the mix is the Raven Ltd. I believe only 50 units were made but if we have any owners here I would love to hear your thoughts.
 
Have you ever thought about a motor upgrade? The Raven One is an excellent basis for an upgrade. A Raven AC motor controller + a second motor makes a huge difference in sound. If you set up the motors separately, you gain space for a second tonearm if you like.

As the US importer and distributor for TW-Acustic, please take a look at the GT2. Same size as your R1 but, has many paths for upgrades and you can use up to 4 arms on it. Great table both, in value and performance.
Thomas really needs to update his website.
