| Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms. Lewm et al, theET2 definitely goes out of level in my experience on Oracles ( the worst ), Linn's etc. SOTA at least has the advantage that it is hung from the springs and is inherently more stable like the SME decks. Given the mass and the additi... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? If it aint got no tubes, it aint got no swing. I'm with Atmasphere on this one, there are other issues to consider with most gear, both tube and solid state, speed and timing, no matter what the price.May/June 2012 TAS - Marantz 7C - "blessed with... | |
| Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms. I had Vacuum Sota/ET2 for a few years before my Final Audio.No problems on levelling and maintaining level across the record.No mistracking whatsoever, particularly compared with pivoted arms on demanding tracks.I did have a couple of records that... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I prefer people to describe what they hear, and ascribe characteristics, even if others disagree. To me if you read someones review in the context of their system, or other comments, then that is more useful than "like" or "prefer".So let ri... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The brain is a terrible thing to waste on mediocre cartridges.On the contrary, running a mediocre cartridge gives one the opportunity to extend their imagination into the netherland and beyond....Living down under here must give us an upside down ... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Vs Top Quality Pivoted Tonearms The Rabco is servo controlled, operating on error correction logic, which means the cartridge crabs and wriggles sideways across the record. The cartridge tracking is like digital - a little bit out ALL of the time.Personally I wouldn't subject my... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Groovybassist, just curious, did you have to pay a deposit when you ordered these speakers ? If so, what % of total cost ? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517, What interested me, or should I say piqued me, was the comments on lack of bass with ET2. I have run and listened to extensively the ET2 on the following TT's - Sota/Sota Star/Roksan/Townsend/Goldmund Studio/Technics SP10mk3/Final Audio. I... | |

| "Harder" cartridge recomendation He thinks digital has less distortion.Ironical when digital is a mathematical approximation of analogue, ie 100% distorted. The argument becomes is the distortion inherent in digital relevant when asking the question "Is this medium accurate enoug... | |
| the quest for the best--within limits One of the easiest ways of narrowing down equipment choice is to use the Virtual Systems.For example if you have tonearm x, and want to know which cartridge would be best, then search on virtual systems to find out what other owners of tonearm x a... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Timeltel, Myself, I dont have a religious preference. I value speed and timing, transparency which in my view derives from resolution and/or removal of resonances. My two favourite cartridges that fulfill this preference are the Decca London Garro... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Hi Nandric, true, for some our hobby is a religious experience. I always thought the use of stone was to accentuate the high's when offering sacrificial lambs... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Hi Halcro - which 3-4 would you recommend for hi ? low ? Would be interested to know. Do any of your top ones do both ? Cheers. | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Halcro, thank you. I dont think you are wrong. We all hear differently, and component choice is made in context of existing system/room/preferences.Our systems may not be that far apart in reality. We agree on digital, I can only listen to simple ... |
