>Some describe the sound of the 2.2 as analytical and lacking in emotion. I think people who say this over-state things a bit. I find the sound off this arm to be very musical in a way that can really draw me in.Same here. But I think it can take a step or two towards a more clinical/analytical sound if one uses the counterweight add-on when it is not needed--and, as Paul mentions, if the damping fluid level is not optimized for the cartridge.
>Bass shy? No way. I heard an increase in bass authority when I installed this arm. I think it was the early iterations of the Graham arm that suffered that criticism. And even then it was arguable. Or perhaps if one makes a comparison between the now obsolete 2.2 versus its successor, the Phantom.
Or if one compares it to something like an SME V, which is considered by many to have a little too much of a good thing in the bass department (at least on certain turntables).
>But who cares! The 2.2 makes a very lovely 2nd-hand tonearm for budget-conscious audiophools such as me.
Can't argue with you there. I bought mine when it was still in production and commanding prices close to full list, but I still feel it was worth every penny.
