Richard/DoverIf both of you guys ever decide to join forces and start up a cover band, please let me know. I will personally make the trip to NZ to hear you. I would not miss it. As long as you close the set with a little Jethro Tull.

Hi ThekongThanks for posting that pic and allowing us to be part of this ! What a cool setup with those armboards and counterweight. It appears that the rod is “welded” to the square which attaches to the spindle end ? These are grounds I have not...

Hi Thekong Yes please post a pic of your ET2.5 with the modified counterweight when you can; would love to see it and look forward to your ET 2.5 impressions as well. I have had my ET2 on the left side of a table. I found it very awkward both from...

DG - thanks for that info. Curious if Frank K happened to mention to you what his favourite tonearm was - of the ones he makes.

Thekong Actually, I have also fabricated a fixed counterweight for my ET2.5, but unfortunately have no time to test it yet. When it happens, the ET would be compared to my favorite arm, the Rockport 6000! Thekong – look forward to your impressions...

Pani Ct, could you try reel tape ?Pani – I tried to do this with reel tape for you but was not successful. My Vintage Granito is one of the old ones. It did not come with a setup ball, or a switch on the back of the motor for belt versus linen opt...

Hi Pani Re: my fishing hobby comment earlier. As someone who sport fishes in the summer I find similarities between that hobby and this Verdier. With fishing the line will vary as it is based on the type of rod/reel at one end, the line itself, th...

Marty_tIn addition to what Maril555 said; is there a reason you chose to add a converter to the audio chain, rather than just bypass the converter in the Verdier motor itself ? Sorry if I misunderstood your post. Here is another thread that I feel...
