Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12

Ct, I am very familiar with the TV show. Still, I am a visual learner, and I would have to see the leaf springs on an ET tonearm, in order to appreciate what you are trying to say in words. My life will be just fine if that never happens. Where is the Guild, anyway? Is it in Toronto? Somewhere in Canada, I think.

As you probably also know, leaf springs as automobile suspensions are very old-fashioned. I don’t think there have been too many leafsprung automobiles made since the 1950s. Maybe excepting the rear suspensions of some American cars, trucks, jeeps,etc..

It’s been decades since I have seen any version of an ET tonearm in the flesh, so the talk about leaf springs etc. leaves me in the dark. However, thanks CT and everyone else for clarifying the issue. So clearly there is an issue mating a DL 103 to the ET tonearm, but it can be overcome with the proper selection of arm wands and Accoutrements. Something for the OP to consider, if he were going to go ahead with the ET/DL103 combination. But it appears he has decided not to. Now he only has to consider the effective mass of the Audionote tonearm arm that he has selected.

My question was not about ET tonearm, really, but thanks.

What is the effective mass of the AudioNote Arm1?  DL103 likes a VERY high effective mass; there’s almost no practical limit to how high as against almost any other cartridge I know about.  Which is to say the compliance of the DL103 is VERY low.  During this back and forth about the ET2, I was wondering more how the DL103 would work with the ET2 than I was about the ET2/Linn combo.
