VTA and HTA overhang
Ketchup, I was not aware of that feature on the ET arms. Very interestingIt is pretty cool. I don't know of any other arm with this feature. After I posted above, I realized that the height of the ET2 arm can also be adjusted to compensate for vin... 
VTA and HTA overhang
The only way the offset would not move when adjusting VTA up or down is if the tonearm post was curved.The Eminent Technology ET 2 tonearm has a curved post for this exact reason. The part is called the arc block or VTA block. The arc block is sta...

Totally off topic, but most of their hi-res downloads don't tell you the source. Is there some way to find that out? I want to know if it was from the master tape or a dub, what equipment they used, who did the mastering, etc. For all I know, it m...

How do TT bearings in motors from the 50s differ from those used now?

Frogman, I couldn't agree more. I just assumed that his arm was perfectly parallel with his platter's surface!Philcoffino,If it's not, make that adjustment first, then level your suspension with the oracle gauge to make sure that your aluminum pli...

Philcoffino,Is it a Delphi? I have an ET-2 on my Delphi, but don't experience that problem. You might want to check to make sure that your platter is perfectly level. If it's not, when the cartridge gets near the end of an LP, the platter will bec... 
Turntable speed accuracy
Unfortunately bringing the motor closer to the platter also brings it closer to the cartridge as well.It also results in less contact between the belt and the motor pulley. That seems like a bad idea because there's already so little contact there...
