| Oh no , not another phono stage rec For me, the more that a poster writes in attempts to defend himself about a subject that has no direct relevance to the OP, the more I question the intentions.Having said that, I think that Saki70's OP is unusually clear and succinct. I think he d... | |

| Speakers that do pianos really well I think that this subject is a particularly interesting one, in the context of many of the ideas that have been promoted in previous threads about how we listen to music.I have always had trouble with the idea that any one particular musical instr... | |
| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? 1967. Recent 10 yr old emigre from Cuba visits an American food supermarket for the first time, and with eyes bulging over rhe incredible variety and excess, spots the Captain Crunch cereal. Offered free inside the box was a 45 RPM of "Sugar" by "... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Tubeears, congrats on the new tweets. I have thouroghly enjoyed your posts and the accounts of your latest audio journey. Its always good to learn of others' rewarding audio experiences. But, its far more rewarding to see an example of someone kee... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I may just do that; would be the only fair comparison of the two arms. Interesting comments re thrust bearings; makes complete sense. Re thread drive: I have no doubt its the way to go; just one of the manyunfinished projects and will definitely t... | |

| VPI 3D tonearm HW bashing is just plain silly. OK, got that out of the way.I heard the 3D arm in a VERY fine system that I know very well. It is mounted on a Classic 4, and that rig replaced a Forsell Reference; same cartridge (Koetsu). The owner does not want t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Been away for a while, hope everyone is well. Chris, the Forsell is still packed in it's boxes. I hope to be able do a shootout between it and my TNT6/ET2 before too long; will keep you posted.Re your most recent post: just wanted to remind all ab... | |
| LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS I'd like to offer a different perspective; with the understanding that there are exceptions to every rule. If we put aside audiophile expectations (no way even the best arena sound systems can have the purity and coherence of top audiophile gear) ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry to hear this. Good luck and speedy recovery. | |
| If you solicit offers, shouldn't you respond? Etnier, don't give up. A reasonable offer such as yours deserves a response; its that simple. At minimum, a simple "sold" response is warranted. If one posts a "for sale" ad in a forum such as this, there is a certain amount of responsibility to r... | |
