Hello List and Andrew of Las Cruces You said (inter alia): "If you use an ETD to set the bearings (like I do) aren't you putting your tooner ear at risk too?" No.. Can't accept that. While I am using an EDT I am also using my ears... " I do use the ETD to track what is going on as I spread out from the middle, but since I am using a stone-age ETD I trust my ear and correct the ETD settings constantly." Right on... You must set the M3s correctly with those old stone-age devices (which are just a means to an end) "Where I use it most is extreme treble where I and a lot of aural tuners have trouble hearing the really short beats." I never use an EDT at the top end - just my ears and the usual 10ths, 15ths. and 17ths. It's truly amazing what these intervals will tell you... Same at the Bass end. Regards Michael G (UK)
