He just sent me the manifolds. He never asked me to send him my spindles and both manifolds work just fine without any play at all.

The interesting thing about the HP manifolds is that Bruce will still supply them for the ET2 on special order for only $300. I know because I got one for each of my ET2 arms ( one with and one without the damper trough ).

All 8 are set up and individually switchable in or out of my system. To make matters even worse I have 5 more that aren't set up ( talk about a TT junkie ). The ones set up are my VPI HW 19 MK IV with the ET2, a Merrill Heirloom TT fully upgraded ...

Slaw, I appreciate your posts ( and humor ). I'm not as anal regarding my audio system as some other members. My hearing isn't as good as it once was ( a misspent youth doing a lot of target shooting without hearing protection ) so don't have the ...

If the record is perfectly level then I don't see how my method would take the spindle out of level with the record surface but would make sure the spindle was level with the record. If the record is level the stylus should drift in or out out if ...

SlawThe arm was lowered onto a spinning Blank ( no grooves at all ) record and the leveling screws adjusted until there was no drift in either direction. I know this method is not appropriate for pivoted tone arms but it seemed it should be OK for...

When setting up my ET2 I found that leveling the arm wasn't easy even using the set up jig. I tried to come up with an easier solution that could be used to make sure the arm was level at any time and would make adjustment and readjustment a snap....

Ct0517 While your freezer is plugged into a separate outlet, since it's also in the basement along with your pump it's probably on the same circuit ( both units controlled by the same circuit breaker ). If they're on the same circuit, the refriger...

The way the ET-2 is normally wired has always been an issue for me when deciding how best to mount it on my TT. Because the tonearm wires are soldered directly to the RCA jacks in the RCA box or mounting plate and the wire is supposed to be fed th...

Ct0517 Thanks for your response. I have my Silentaire compressor in another room and also wanted a turnkey operation so I could turn it on & off from my listening room. The solution is one of the wireless ( rf not infrared ) remote switched ou...

I finally got my ET-2 installed on my VPI HW-19 MK IV ( that has the Super Platter installed ) . Due to the Super Platter being 1/2" thicker than the MK IV platter ( which requires a 1" thick armboard ) I had to have a custom armboard made that wa... 
Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer?
It's much easier to find a used Rock 7 in Great Britain ( 240V 50hz motor ) than the US and at a much better price. I just bought one for 1000 Pounds plus 50 pounds shipping ( about $1650 ) including an Audio Origami RB251 arm. It's easy to run a ... 
SAEC WE-308N Cueing
It's not a big deal since it doesn't just drop so I can lower it manually. I just wanted to know if and how I could return it to compete working order.Thanks.
