Hi Henry – welcome to the thread. I will reply to your question with my actual DD and idler impressions later. Need to catch up with the holiday weekend that was anything but a holiday with two soon to be 18 years olds packed up and sent away to c...

Slaw – fwiw - here are my thoughts on the ET2 loom so far for me. When this thread started I had many questions about the wire loom. The options seems daunting. I had mounted the arm multiple times on different TT setups and found the full plinth...

Addendum:I have no doubt that if the ET2 manual ever got updated by Bruce, there would be a separate chapter on matching the tonearm with the compliance of the cartridge. Newly bought tonearms really should come with a single, double and triple le...

The arm is ready to go out of the box and requires no additional "fitting" by moving the spindle by the customer. That would be a poor design.Kevin - Have you ever come across any analog product that did not require additional fitting or adjustmen...

“when changing cartridges eliminates any wear to the spindle or bearing “Hi Ketchup. You can’t put wear on the ET2 spindle or bearing. The spindle can only be damaged by driving over it with your car. Well - I am just joking here of course - but j...

To new owners of an ET2 NEVER change a cartridge with the pump running. Else probably risk a fate to your cartridge - similar to trying to walk down slimy, slippery, wood deck steps in the pouring rain in summer – without a handrail.

I remember around 5 years back something happened to the evaporator in my pump. I didn’t know right away. What clued me in was checking the 2nd pressure gauge/regulator that is near the arm. It is also the backup system – remember I am in the busi...

To any owners of linear air bearing arms that use significant psi to work. We were born with two hands. I don’t know about the others here but one of my hands is more sensitive than the other to touch and feel. I am right handed but my left hand i... 
Marantz 2270 + B&W DM2000: What subwoofer?
Hi Funky – the key word here I think is borrow instead of buy. Try to find an audio dealer or friend who will lend you an amp for a couple of days to listen to with them. I always try to see what I can get out of the speakers first in a room on th... 
Marantz 2270 + B&W DM2000: What subwoofer?
Hi Funky I bought DM2000's new years ago. I still have them - well I should say my brother now uses them. You need an amp with more quality power like your marantz - IMO. They will work with your amp but they will not perform their best. here is t...
