| Solving the "complex music problem"? Big difference. You are listening to a great orchestral performance recorded in a great hall on a well balanced system. Think London Symphony in Kingsway Hall recorded by Kenneth Wilkinson for Decca. There is a passage in the score for solo picco... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? Actually, to be more precise. The fault CAN be at playback, @thespeakerdude. Some gear accentuates (distorts) high frequency information which may give the illusion of more pin point imaging. Other gear (also) does a poor job of resolving very ... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? That goes without saying. With a few variations, the seating of musicians in an orchestra is fairly standard and that is what recording engineers have to work with. As far as the hall goes, good conductors, musicians and hopefully the recording e... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? As always with discussions such as this, it’s difficult to know exactly what the poster is trying to convey. “Less”, “more”, “not enough”, “too much” are usually relative characterizations based on personal taste and sonic goals for one’s system. ... | |
| Subwoofer boom is too much for me... I think we (Agon posters) should start the new year on a higher note (😉). So often , answers to an OP’s question are used simply as a vehicle for expressing all that we think we know about a topic without addressing the most obvious and easiest th... | |

| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Thank you, Dover. Reading recent posts I have been mystified by the suggestion that the RB300 could be considered to offer performance on a par with, or even close to that of the SME 5 I have owned both and the Rega, while offering good performa... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @neonknight, don’t be too quick to deem your thread “useless”. Putting aside the responses that you feel have strayed too far from your original question, you have received at least half a dozen opinions on arms that others feel “surpass the SME5”... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Still waiting to know if mijostyn has actually spent any time with a properly set up ET2, or any other linear tracker for that matter. Hope you feel better mijo, some nasty bugs out there, | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @noromance 😊 | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Thank you, steakster. I am familiar with Plato’s allegory. I do like Schopenhauer’s wording. Regards. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! +++++1 @noromance I enjoy saving memorable quotes. Thanks for this one: “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.” - -Arthur Schopenhauer | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Mijostyn, as far as I can tell, you have not missed one single opportunity to bash the ET2 in the various discussions here; and, by extension, suggest that I (and others) can’t possibly be hearing what we hear. Yet, as far as I can tell, there has... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Atmasphere, thanks for your response. Dover does a much better job than I could explaining the technical details and reasons why I hear what I hear. What I hear is always the bottom line for me and the ET2 has shown itself to be a fantastic arm. ... |
