puts the resonance at about 11 Hz. I ain't giving up my ET2.

I am fitting a walnut rob to my ET2 arm, ie. take out the aluminium armtube and fit a ~ 3/8" walnut. I will report the result when it is done.
I can fully believe that the type of wood used to make acoustic string instruments make a difference in their sound. When it comes to tonearms I have my doubts. I find it hard to believe that the forces transmitted by the cantilever has any effect on the tonearm. The loads are to small and the mass is too great. The big forcing functions ( record warp) is don in the 1/2 to 2 Hz range.
I believe it is the wood tonearm together withe metal parts isolated the air-borne vibration from he listening room to the cart. As you had said the cart output is so low any vibration / energy transmitted from the tonearm will affect the sound.
