| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Well, then that should make the Dava, with its purported 6db HF rise, the perfect cartridge for you 😊. ((Sorry, couldn’t resist.) | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? “There is this thing called listening” - mikelavigne So simple, so basic and so true. How ironic (and absurd) the notion that the final judgment of what equipment is best in the context of a given system, in a given room, should be made by an... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? It’s much simpler than that (for me). Assuming no significant electrical incompatibilities that would cause us to unfairly judge its actual potential in a different application, each piece of audio gear inserted into an audio system affects the r... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Great post, Lewm. I agree on every count; exactly my experience. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I used to think that there is little that could really be learned and understood about an individual’s true sense of integrity and mettle from “conversations” on an Internet forum. I mostly still feel that way; but, there are, in fact, times when... | |
| Apples and oranges Accepting the fact that “intelligently” is also a relative thing, can you be more specific? What were the things that you felt you could not discuss with those that had more advanced systems? I guess my feeling is that your concern is simply par... | |
| Apples and oranges rv, I understand what you are saying. However, with the possible exception of very low bass and its room related issues, I don’t think there are any aspects or parameters of sound reproduction that cannot be talked about intelligently whether one... | |
| Apples and oranges I have heard “advanced” systems that cause me to want to run out of the room. The amount of money some “advanced” audiophiles spend on systems that, to me, sound nothing like the real thing boggles my mind. On the other hand, I have heard some “ru... | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? I’ve invited Bruce Thigpen to offer his thoughts here. I doubt he will as my experience has been that he doesn’t like to participate in audio forums; but herhaps he will. Here’s hoping ….. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Congratulations on your purchase, dentdog Fantastic tonearm! And welcome to the thread. With the exception of an occasional and thankfully rare bit of noise (like an annoying click or pop from a favorite lp) it is one of the most civilized and fri... | |

| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? Another vote in favor of the ET2 and I agree with the positive comments made so far. Fantastic arm. I’ve owned Alphason MCS, Syrinx PU3, Grado, Premier MMT, SME V and a couple others and the ET2 (which I still use) is sonically superior to all of... | |
| Balance control? I experience the same issue on some of my recordings. Some simply don’t have a solid and stable center image; very frustrating. At this point I would take some of those recordings to your friends’ and see if the same thing happens on their syste... | |

| Any fans of Ken Peplowski here? Monster player. A traditionalist; more to the “Swing” side of things and probably why he is not better known. I agree with your description. Glad that you have discovered him. The Deerhead Inn is a Jazz institution. The Delaware Water Gap was ho... |
