Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12
Just to clarify a few points...I think that while the ET2 arm can and does work on a LP12, it is far from being an ideal matchup. The synergy between the two pieces is ok, but I do want to stress that IMO there are better options for this table. O... 
Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12
@testpilot  Your point about a number of arms working well with the Linn isn't actually correct. Unfortunately the opposite is more accurate..there are few arms that work well with the Linn! The Linn suspension requires an arm that is not only lig... 
Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12
@ct0517 The fact that you may not like the idea of mounting an arm that needed constant tweaking and maintenance doesn’t NOT make it tried and true! This combo was utilized extensively back when the ET2 arm was popular, and as I stated...it worked...

 @ct0517  My personal experience, lol.you ask this question as if it is a challenge. Funny how this this kind of attitude is fairly prevalent these days on forums....what’s with this attitude?since you asked, my experience with this set up is exte... 
Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12
The ET arm and a Linn LP12 are a tried and true combo. I have heard this set up in a few occasions, it worked quite well. The ET arm can be a pain to maintain and keep set up, but the synergy between the arm and table..  no problem.

Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S
I think it interesting that many a’philes seem to forget this simple point...The original recording is only going to be as great as the master tape. If the master tape has issues, either recording or condition, then any reissue will only be as gre... 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
I think today's Jadis amps are about as high quality as anything out there. 
New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet?
@tonykay   I saw that mini review in Absolute Sound. They certainly look like the real deal. 
One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened?
I have both the Fi magazine article/ magazine and the speakers.IMO,the speakers are nothing great. The box that Radio shack put them in is a piece of junk. The tweeter is easily bested by numerous other designs, including silk domes and any number... 
Cartridge new or used ?
@thom_mackris   Thanks, that does clear up your point. We are in total agreement. 
Cartridge new or used ?
 @thom_mackris   What can you tell us is the actual shape of the various facets of the diamond, before and after damage? Because, IME, without knowing exactly what you are looking for in this regard, all else is just a guess. So even with a 1000x ...

This is my last post on this thread. I’m done trying to get people to listen to a current Linn LP12 model and have an open mind. All I can say is that if the table was so very poor sounding, I doubt so many would have sold...and continue to be in ...
