The Mag Wand after a couple listens. Just thinking about it - we have talked at length here about the vertical and horizontal masses. My personal experience has been any time I can increase the vertical mass of the ET2 arm itself - it is a good th...

The use of differing materials from wood to high tech options. I'll either fall flat on my face or end up with something very special.And you will have fun and learn a lot. This is what a hobby is all about. Imo – whether the learning is happening...

Richard, its even more serious when you hold each in your hand. They were definitely designed for two different cartridges. The mag looks like it has been lifting weights and has been on steroids all its life. I will put it on soon and provide an ...

I recently received my magnesium armtube from Bruce.Here is a picture that shows some big differences between the magnesium versus aluminum armtubes What is not so obvious in the pictures is how much beefier the head shell is on the mag tube. Cheers 
Quad ESL 57 - Which to buy
Kwbreezer Another thing to consider. If you are living near the great lakes you know there is tremendous humidity in the summer. Factor in a few hundred for a good dehumidifier for your space if your house is not climate controlled where they will...

Richardkrebs - Here is a conundrum. Stylus drag is significant, being able to slow some TT platters.What about the other side of the coin? What about a TT platter system that doesn’t slow down with stylus drag, but can’t slow down fast enough afte...

Slaw- from my experience if another adjustment is needed for overhang, something is off in the setup. To break down the set up we have 3 sections. 1) Sub-base plate – the one with the 3 leveling spikes and the one bolt holding the arm. Holds all t...
