Richardkrebs,You are wrong. You continue to put up an argument for adding lots of mass to the ET2 and removing the patented decoupling methodology of the counterweight. Your argument is based on a strawman hypothesis that only focuses of frequenci...

RichardkrebsI did not say that the mass of your arm is “300% heavier at these frequencies”. I have said that your horizontal effective mass is 300% heavier than standard.Your arm is 300% heavier than standard. You added 30g of lead and removing th...

01-07-14: HalcroPeterayer,I wasn't including you amongst those who have said that a very high-mass platter on a string or thread-drive turntable would be immune to stylus drag as you have admitted the fact......Dertonearm and Dover I believe in t...

HalcroYou have mistakenly attributed the following quote to Richardkrebs.01-09-14: HalcroRichardkrebs is right.....Why is speed so important? As you know, the primary job of any record player, including turntable, arm, and cartridge, is to accurat...
