| ARC CD 3 mk II upgrade with DAC 8 Supermodified - Congrats on the DAC8. I think you got a fantastic deal on it. I acquired a DAC8 to use with my existing transport and also to allow for Computer Audio / Hi Rez files. In the end I made the decision to go for the approach that didn'... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Leon_Krige (LK)sorry for the long post. PS: Not fixed on the Colibri, but it sounded incredible on a friends Dynavector tonearm, despite his warnings that the cantilever angle is not aligned with the cartridge, is difficult to set up, & app... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Just to add imo the Achilles heel for the ET2 is documented quite clearly in the manual on page 47 by Bruce. "If you like to play severely eccentric records, ones with run out greater than 1/8th of an inch, then we suggest you use a low mass pivot... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Leon-Krige - welcome to the thread. I've just bought a used ET 2 arm with an old Goldmund Studio (which I'm restoring to look like new, it was damaged badly)Was the ET2 tonearm damaged as well ? I've bought a 50 litre compressor to run the arm,... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Now days to get a part machined in my shop I need a CAD drawing at $150/hour to produce. A CAM program at $150/ hour to produce. Machining itself at $450/hour, plus material which actually is the smallest cost of the lot.Very Interesting numbers R... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Richard, there is continued interest in the Aluminum ET2 GooseneckReceived two recent emails, the latest this week from an Audiogon member on this ET2 thread asking about the possibility of doing a limited run on them. I will pm you with more d... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners It is probably difficult to compare oil trough settings. I am using a different oil and different paddle at the other end of the spindle. Further I have a fixed CW which means that the physics of the arm are quite different.All good points Richard... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard - An observation. I spent the weekend on the water boating and sometimes in the water - this was by accident as the temp is still only in the 70's. What was very obvious is that even with similar size boats but with different size/horsepow... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard, et al. fyi - Bruce' opinion on PSI changes versus Quality Air Supply. I didn't want to interrupt Bruce' Elephant hearing study so I kept my question short. BruceIf a friend made a significant change to the air delivery system on his ET2 ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard what a great and crazy hobby this is. We are running two very different air pump /tubing systems. Also our tonearms although they share some parts are more different in their construction and their setup requirements. We are using very dif... | |
| How far have you gone? I drove from Toronto to Montreal - 6 hours each way - to pick up speakers, and back home same day 1000 kilometer round trip. This was in '94. Two months later I saw another pair of the same speakers for sale ....40 minutes from home. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners thanks for sharing impressions Richard. With the regulator close, the soundstage shrunk both in width and depth. There is a subtle veil over the sound with attack and decay diminished.Just recollecting.When I was experimenting with PSI years ago, ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners don't think that your test is quite representative of what I was suggesting, since you are disabling one regulator but leaving its body in circuit. If their is any instability in the regulator it could be caused by the its structure, since the air... |
