| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners thanks for the head's up, ct0517. Mine is on its way. I've been wanting to replace mine ever since I bought my arm (used) a few years back. Alas, Bruce had no more to sell. So, this is a most welcome development. The decision to use aluminum hopef... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Probably a better deal: hereSold as a 2.0 but there's reason to believe it's a 2.5.How many of these are out there languishing on shelves? | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? see above:09-12-15: Banquo363hi Lewm,You could try talking to the guy, Dave Brown, who fixed my tt 101. He wasn't taking new clients last I checked about 6 months ago, but he might be more open now. He's already famillar with the table and has per... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I searched through my communications with my tech when he was servicing my tt 101. Below are some pertinent quotes on the construction of the boards and how he went about fixing the table:--There were no bad parts, just bad connections. I ended up... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I do own that beast (the Timeter aridyne 2000), it's a wonderful beast. I use it to concurrently run an et2 (HPM), an et 2.5, and a pneumatic isolation platform. No problem.Unless it's a motor problem, pretty much everything else about these pumps... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I don't believe Lew needs my tech, Halcro--he can probably solder just as well as my tech can--what he needs is a sunnier disposition :).Lewm: after Halcro's experience I'd call into question every solder joint, including the 70%+ you already did.... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Whoa. Congratulations, Halcro. Did your tech miss a joint on the first go around? Or did an already resoldered one break anew? When my tech redid mine, he said he had to very carefully inspect each joint with a magnifying glass. Get your magnifyin... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? hi hiho,It's high time for people to look into those and install your arm of choice.I've actully been eyeballing the victor ql a95 (same motor as the tt 801 and can be used in conjunction with the ts1 vacuum stabillizer) for a year now, but the ar... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? But I need to keep them at a competitive price ($490aud shipped), which equates to $338usd shipped to the USA.Curious, I went and looked up what I paid for mine (I'm in the US): $450. That was 5 years ago almost to the day. At $338 (shipped!), it'... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners hi Styrk,I believe I saw the auction for the manifold you are referring to. The seller told me about the 'mpm' and since I never hear of that I emailed Bruce about it. Here's what he wrote back:"The initials on the 2.5 manifold are actually HPM an... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners hi Bigalt:When you bought your HP manifolds, did you send in your spindles so Bruce could match them to the manifolds? Or did he just send the manifolds to you and they ended up working fine without being matched? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I should note that if anyone living in So. California is interested in acquiring a Timeter aridyne, the guy I bought mine from had 3 more for sale. I have no idea regarding their condition, but unless the motor is toast, everything else is more or... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richardkrebs,Ct0517 was interested in the same thing, so I measured the sound level. It sits in my garage and there's about 50ft of tubing running to the arm.1. in the same room, from 6ft away: 64dB2. from the other side of the wall, with door clo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I'm sure that everyone who posts here regularly already knows this, but it is something I just recently found out: that high pressure manifolds should be matched with its accompanying spindle.Unfamiliar with that tidbit, I spent two days trying an... |
