dcaudio -
What configuration of ET tonearm are you running? Are you set up for heavy or light cartridge, high or low compliance ?   

(from the ET2 tonearm owners thread link).

ET 2.0 and ET 2.5 Tonearm Cartridge Guidelines 

The information in the link is broken down by
1) ET Tonearm version,
2) Armwand version, and
3) I-Beam version.

Three separate ET tonearm setup factors need to be considered in setting up for "any"  cartridge - for best results. (managing resonances)

General Guidelines.

********************************************************

Tonearm Version

ET 2.0 ___________________________ ET 2.5

Higher Compliance Cart ______________Lower Compliance Cart

********************************************************

Armwand Version

Aluminum __________Carbon Fiber _______Magnesium

High Compliance ______Medium__________Low Compliance


********************************************************

I Beam - Leaf Springs - (a higher mass cartridge needs more
counterweight mass, which in turn needs a stiffer decoupling spring).

Single Leaf Spring _____Double LS __________Triple LS ____

Low Mass __________Medium Mass_________High Mass

You can have your cake and eat it too. The key is to find the right baker, and have him/her give you their recipe. I have provided the recipe/formula for making a cake with an ET tonearm in the previous post.

Posting generalizations in an audiophile public chat forum is IMO wrong; especially when setup and knowledge rank as the most important factor. You show lack of knowledge to other ET2 owners.
