Hi all, I would like to resurrect this thread from the good ‘old days as I recently acquired an EA-10 complete with dedicated AX-6G armbase to go on my Micro RX-1500. It’s the final instalment to a quartet of arms including Audio Craft AC-4400, Micro MAX-237 and FR-64S. My question concerns the oil damping and is directed at folks who have personal experience with this tonearm. Maybe @thuchan @rauliruegas @syntax @dover if they are still around? Or anyone else perhaps? Before I make an effort to find the correct damping fluid I’d like to know if this is worthwhile or perhaps even necessary to get the best performance from the EA-10. I’ve learned that the use of damping is not always clear cut. While it is mandatory with the AC-4400, I definitely prefer the MAX-237 without damping. So what is your verdict on the EA-10: to be damped or not to be damped? |
@downunder has been running a Pioneer P3/EA10 for some years. You might try to PM him. I found this on the web ..

@dover thanks for that info. The EA-10 came to me with EP-03 straight armpipe only. I would like to find the S-type armpipe as well, in order to make cart rolling more convenient and also to be able to use integrated headshell cartridges like SPU and FR7. I know the S-type is much harder to find than the straight armpipes, but if any of you have a spare one lying about or know a reliable source, please let me know. Thanks! |
