Garylim – you will hear many things from audiophiles about the 801’s. Some are true some are not. I would listen to actual owners and ask about their setups. One thing true IMO is that this 801 is not a plug and play speaker. This means you will n...

The audigon thread ghosts of the past seem to be hitting the ET2 thread. Came across this over coffee this morning. A custom x- Maplenoll Athena setup with an ET1 modded. No affiliation with the person or ad. Just thought you guys would find it in...

Hi Slaw – are you running an in room ET2 filter or pressure regulator ? I added a ground to the in room regulator at the suggestion of Richard. It seems to have helped. Recommend you give it a try. Hum Story and maybe a lesson. I am finishing the ...

ET 2.0 spindle versus ET 2.5 spindleI am focusing on the spindle /counterweight. I have some info to share. It can be difficult from pictures telling the differences between the ET 2.0 and 2.5.This makes it easier. Pictured is the ET 2.5 spindle ...

03-23-13: GnnettWhen I look at the pictures of RK's arm I do not see an ET2. It is something specifically crafted and tuned to his system. It is not a universal tonearm. A little bit like the highly modified ET1 that Lloyd Walker uses actually.Gra...
