Dear ct0517: With all respect, a tonearm designer not necessary is an experienced audiophile. Some are but not all.
Raul, we know. As a tonearm designer yourself; you even created a thread called Are You a True Audiophile. Now myself, I can’t post there because I am a part time audiophile, and full time music lover. I don’t qualify sorry.
Every post on this forum is an opinion.
Now usually, you don’t get manufacturers coming onto public chat forums and posting opinions about other products, without trying to do a little sell of their own products. There is tremendous bias. So when one of them speaks good about another product, and why - it can be interesting reading and hence my posted link. Apparently it was not interesting to you. I understand. no problem.
Raul - if you can provide us with a top view pic of your ET2 setup to start, I can tell you my opinion. The ET2 can be tweaked to sound like other tonearms. It is a tweakers delight, and this is why so many can go wrong with it. I can make it sound closer to a Fidelity Research 6 series tonearm too. Are you interested to know how to do this ?
back to the Frank Schroeder link I attached in the previous post.
What I found interesting about that link is that FS made mention to a number of tonearms even the base original ET2.
Now it is clear from his wording that he does not know himself, how to set up one properly, and was just going by what he was hearing.
He has no reason/agenda, like you Raul, to learn how to set it up properly. It is of no benefit to him. His makes his own tonearms.
The comment about mounting an ET2 on a suspended oracle has validity, and is discussed quite a bit on our ET2 thread.
Crazy Bill
Its warmer here today about 2 degrees celsius and it is starting to snow. Not much snow this winter we had a brown Christmas.
Chores await - maybe talk with you guys tomorrow.
Happy Listening.
