| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Whart and Slaw, the Monster cartridges were indeed great trackers. Back in the day, they (especially the SG2000) were considered by some to be a particularly good match with the ET2 linear tracker. To this day it is one of my very favorites on th... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Thanks all for your responses and for sharing your experiences with Steve. Steve, we spoke briefly on the phone and I was left with the impression that you are knowledgeable and would be a terrific person to deal with. A couple of things were st... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wonderful! Thank you. Heard him at The Village Vanguard back in the late ‘80s and still remember what great music he played and the buzz that his comeback had created. Cedar Walton was the pianist as I recall. He had recently been released from on... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Catching up to you guys. Listened on my Stax/tube set.Palladian/MIT:Once again, I wish I could say that the less expensive cartridge (MIT) sounds as good as the Palladian, but I just don’t hear it that way. They both sound very good, but the Palla... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I have to admit that the last thing I expected to hear on your first clip was “Sing, Sing, Sing”, mary_jo. No “woe is me, I am not feeling well”; more of a “let’s kick this cold in the butt” attitude. Hard not to think of Benny when the clarinet i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you liked it, mary_jo. Apropos recent mention of the clarinet, here is Ted Nash on what some less versatile jazz saxophone players only-half-jokingly refer to as “the misery stick”:https://youtu.be/pxeLSJOEhi8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry for the double clip. This was to be the other:https://youtu.be/WSyWzOUh440 | |

| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Just want to second all that Chris has said re highest vertical inertia based on my experiences. As Chris may recall, early on in the history of his thread I mentioned that a few years previously I had constructed a long I beam fashioned from bals... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice groove. Michael Leonhart is a very talented young musician. Son of well known bassist/singer Jay Leonhart. He is part of the most recent Steely Dan horn section and does a lot of their arrangements of new material. He does some really nice wo... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Good question about a myth perpetuated by early “prominent” reviewers whose understanding of proper setup was limited. The ET2 gives me superior bass to any of the pivoting arms that I mentioned previously in terms of natural tonality and, most im... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable jtimothya, we are in violent agreement, as they say. Nice post. |
