Answer to the ET1/ET2 Trivia Question.
If you select page 3 on the ebay ad and magnify the page on your screen you are able to see the text.
************************************************************
“The ET1 was introduced at Chicago CES in 1983 and Tonearm 2 followed in June 1985. About 300 ET1’s and 2000 ET2’s have been sold to date throughout the world.”
************************************************************
So at the time of this publication - 2000 ET2’s 300 ET1’s. Approximately a 6.5 – 1 ratio.
So unlike the introduction of the new "Coca-Cola" it appears based on the numbers, that the "general" audiophile public liked - and still likes the ET2 and its younger but bigger brother ET 2.5.
It would be interesting to know what the ratio is between ET 2.5 versus ET 2.0.
I am not affiliated with the ebay ad - although I admit I am tempted to bid on it - just to read the reviews and see if anyone actually explained how they setup the counterweights.
**Congratulations Frogman !**
You are the winner of the trivia contest.
Well ok ........ you were the only official entry.
Actually I did get one offline entry that came closer – but contest rules ((reads the really fine print)) stipulated the entries needed to be posted here.
Cheers
