Yes, many of us in one or another state of our audio progress come to the desire to retire from specific audio desires but in my desire to retire my references phonostage interest there is one more ingredients – I personally do thinks that ET2 and EAR-834PT is the very best thing that I ever heard or ever will come across. So, my abandoning of the the phonostage interest has also some very practical rational.
The that ET2+EAR-834PT combination (not in my current version – I do not know how it will sound but I presume that it will not lose it) handles sound in a very different manner than any other phonocorrector, so different that it eventually become too boring to ask the similar result from other phonocorrector. The ET2+EAR-834PT has amassing softness of the opening notes but at the same time it can accelerate within the note while it hits the pitch with absolutely unmatched rate of dynamic change but at the same time it doe maintain the reference to the original softness and gentleness of presentation. That is so amusing characteristics and I got so addicted to it that if a phonocorrector does not do that ultra-dynamic softness then I have a definitive interest in tacky LP playing. To my knowledge not of the other tried by me correctors besides the ET2+EAR-834PT combination even try to do it. Partially the RLC phonocorrector have tendency to do something similar but the ET2+EAR-834PT combination sets juts a whole another demotion of the “ultra-dynamic softness”. This ET2+EAR-834PT’s intelligent softness is so ever-penetrating in whatever 834PT does that it become truely the only way of listening for me.
