| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****My thinking is it therefore makes sense to have the trough paddle attached to the end bearing cap as designed.****Chris, interesting consideration, but I am not so sure that is always the "best" location. I use the trough as intended out of co... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover, by loosening the screw the bass range gained clarity and speed. The bass is not necessarily stronger, but instead of some bass notes sounding simply like amorphous low frequency energy there is air around the notes, much better pitch recogn... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, we really have NO substantive disagreement, and I admire your passion for the music. Our main area of disagreement is in the absolutism of a comment that you have made several times to the effect that the "public decides who is great". If tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I can feel that this is going down a treacherous road (for an Internet discussion).****That would be easy to do. There are not that many players that 'must be' mentioned in a history or comprehensivbe discussion of Jazz. A small percentage.**... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, thanks for the sentiment; the feeling is mutual.While I completely agree with you that music is subjective (well, more accurately, one's reaction to music is subjective) I don't know on what you base the comment that jazz is more subjective ... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Keep in mind that all the cartridges you own are fairly high compliance; including the VDH which is high compliance by MC standards. The "base aluminum arm wand" is well suited to higher compliance cartridges. Most MC's are lower compliance which ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Another hint (when no arm wand is visible):Look at the width of the portion of the manifold housing (where the lettering is printed) that extends beyond either side of the length-wise "edge" of the spindle tube. Or, look at the same "edges" in rel... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Oh, wait! You said non–ET users. Sorry. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Too easy. I will let the others chime in :-) | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, this pertains to an earlier discussion about identifying a 2 vs a 2.5. Look closely at the pictures of the ET. I would bet one of my extra arm wands :-) that its a 2 not a 2.5. The HP 2 is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a 2.5. Regards. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok,1) No. Although there are traditional seating arrangements for certain sections, certain instrument sections may be positioned differently according to the particular orchestra's traditions, a particular conductor's wishes, or a particular wor... |
