| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? HalcroI believe that the 'secret' to approaching the 'dynamics' of 'live' sound.....Henry IMO – if you are really serious about this it will take some effort and facilities. How about bringing the live sound into your home, then playing back the r... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw - the most enjoyment I have ever had out of this hobby as an pure amateur "having fun hobbyist" is when I personally do something (DIY) to my setup that improves the sound. Reading your posts it sounds like you are really enjoying yourself. P... | |

| Help-Bent Benz cantilever need advice BmenaryI have had both SS (two different times) and Axel of Germany repair cartridges both of them with excellent results.I recommend you send to both of them a couple clear pics (15 and 16 ? ) so they can give you an estimate by email. Axel com... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw - fwiw - the 3 spikes on the base of the ET2 are stainless steel 10-32 cone point set screws available from any supplier. An excellent suggestion I thought from Dover to just file them down to use naked with acrylic or any other material you ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****Once the wife's insulation has melted...."****Frogman for me this wording conjures up a very vivid and clear image. Its at this point “once the wife’s insulation has melted” that she comes downstairs, knocks on the door and tells me in a stern... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners SlawI liked the pic you provided us of the wire Take Five Audio built for you. I loved the attention that was paid to the gradual step down coming out of the WBTs. Was this accomplished with teflon tubing?Slaw - I just got Gene's answerI am quotin... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Dover – thx for the info. Please tell me there is not going to be a pop test quiz on that material. More on resonancesMy Verdier plinth – which holds the platter, armpod, spindle (no physical bearing) instead two large shielded magnets - is ma... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw- I personally have only tried it with the spacer, but now wonder if this could be a source of unwanted resonance using the acrylic armboard? IMO – added resonance – yes. But whether it is a good or bad resonance in your setup only you can tel... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners NikolaI have to confess I wanted to say Nude cartridge on the Nudie thread but I thought I would be chastised so I said it here. :^( Some like to encase their whole TT system “in” a single base structure. Bring them all together so to speak in one... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Interesting Chris....as I have also found the 420STR to act much like a LOMC on my Victor DD in its susceptibility to 'feedback' when the volume is turned up?This despite the fact that the phono stage gain is set to the low MM value which, incide... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners SlawThe plinth in my TT is 'the' platform you speak of. The armboard is connected to this 'plinth', (and becomes part of it) that supports the platter and bearing.Here is some food for thought. I have found when comparing and listening to how the ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project NandricBesides without the notion of an 'base' one get confused regarding what is 'above' and what 'below' so some of useven used the copper mat to put not 'obove' the platter butunder the 'nacked TT' with some strange results.I am sure you are aw... | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? HalcroFunny about the 420STR?Henry The 420str was able to do for me what no other cartridge was able to do - MM or MC so far. IMO - there is no perfect TT due to the medium being flawed. This 420str highlighted the design flaws in two of my turnta... | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? Henry, Very sorry to hear about your preamp. This is further to my email to you. IMO - All turntables are a system that needs to work in unison Bearing, motor, platter, spindle, tonearm/cartridge. How all these parts are joined together differs ... |
