I have tested the stereo phono once where I fed the Test LP Azimuth test track (with L-R at recorded 180 degrees difference)using a stereo Cart into the ETR Mono to collapse both channels which in turn goes into the stereo phono for playback. It was dead silent. From there, I am pretty...
Unfortunately my phono doesn’t have a Mono switch. The ETR-Mono does output a coherent signal to both channels and it in the hands of faith to see if my stereo phono messes up.
I have been thinking of damping a pair of hollow steel stands but unfortunately, it’s completely sealed. Has anyone tried using damping pads such as Dynamat to strategically stick onto the sides/base of the stands? http://www.dynamat.com/ I am likely to head in that direction.

Need help for a recommendation for a replacement cartridge for my son’s Elys 2 cartridge that’s on his Rega now. As you know, the Rega RB330 does not offer not VTA adjustment hence I’m wondering what would suit it best with a fixed VTA? Any recommendation would be welcomed. MM preferred...
Hi All,
Would like to tap on your experience if the 12” Graham is a better sounding tonearm compared to the vintage SAEC 506/30 or Ikeda IT-407?
Likely to mount a Miyajima Madake Snakewood or Koetsu Rosewood Signature.
Many thanks.

Yup. A mixture of 60s all the way to modern reissues. The ones from the 50s will sound different.
PM me your gmail address. Will send you some clips to give you a feel.
I am using the Zero with a Miyajima ETR-Mono thats plugged into an Audio Note phono. Have also compared it plugged into my Cary Audio PH302 Mk II’s MM section with the ETR-Mono and a Peerless SUT. The external SUT path into MM blows the direct connection into the MC section (the phono uses...
I see. The Zero didn’t have a chance to be mounted on the SAEC 506/30 as it was hogged by the Koetsu. Will keep you posted if I decide to do that over the weekend. In any event, the Zero is simply a buy :)
Thanks Bazelio, I love tubes as well. Sounds like a very revealing turntable that calls a spade a spade. Will make arrangements for an audition with the dealer.
Many thanks once again Bazelio and Kodomo.
I suspect that they are following the herd as everyone including Koetsu are using diamond cantilevers hence having a pure carbon cantilever is something unique and chemically similar to diamond but has a higher compliance. Market driven approach to make what the market perceives to be...
