| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman - Someone explain to me how in a "captured air" bearing design air will NOT escape regardless of the pressure delivered to it. I think that when we talk about being able to hear it, it is simply that, the point at which it becomes audible;... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dgarretson - The air pressure at this threshold depends on the weight of the selected wand and counterweights.Dave G - thanks for that interesting info re: Trans Fi tonearm. Would it be correct to assume an owner of a Transfi needs a pump that is ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Is there significant air coming from the manifold where the spindle enters and exits? You will feel the air coming out with your finger near both ends. NONE DETECTABLE AT ~3PSI BUT DEFINITELY FEEL AIR ESCAPING AT EITHER END OF THE BEARING HOUSING ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dgarretson - With this design the lowest possible air pressure that floats the bearing(about 1 psi)sounds best.DG - I am curious - is the 1 psi the recommended manufacturer psi? How high a PSI have you experimented with and how were the sonics aff... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Any suggestions on how to reduce/eliminate this (may be solved with the HP manifold)?Dave - just so we understand. so no noise in your system with NO pump on - stylus in groove - and the preamp volume high. this is with a stock ET2 which is design... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi DaveAfter converting the TNT to thread drive and eliminating the tri-pulley system, I made a 2 spring I-beam and moved the weight way out on the I-beam (past 6). All three of these tweaks made a significant improvement in sound quality and it w... | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T Hi Digital3 - I don't know how familiar you are with the B&W BAF. All the 800 matrix series speakers 800, 801, 802, 803, 804, 805 followed John Bowers vision as an active design. The BAF - basically an equalizer is inserted and boosts the low ... | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T It wasn't clear in your post that you already owned the s2. Are you using the bass alignment filter ?http://kenrockwell.com/audio/b-w/800-series-bass-alignment-filter.htm | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T Digital3 - Too very different speakers with different requirements with different camps as far as owners go. I like both types of speakers which is why I have two listening rooms. Have you not listened to both to hear the different presentations -... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners If you want to get at beyond - lets say for example 7/10 with the performance of your ET2, you need to understand how the I Beam tuning can work for you...fwiw - looking back now when this thread started, I can say I was at 6.5 - 7 with my ET2, ET... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman - I hope you don't mind me referencing this post. But it was a sort of an - awakening - for me in truly understanding how this ET2 works.01-09-12: Frogman****Throwing weight at the I-beam near the spindle pivot does not increase the arms r... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Look forward to your impressions Manitunc. BTW - I totally blame Frogman for any "OCD'ing" on the single, double and triple springs. This ET2 thread/book is only 19 pages long. I think it happened around page 3 or 4. fwiw - I like the triple sprin... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners "imo its never OCD when you are actually changing the laws of physics"this comment came across wrong and was not what I meant. I take it back since this particular thread does not allow one to edit. the rest of the post stands :^) | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners am I now entering another world of obsessive complusive behaviourLOL - imo its never OCD when you are actually changing the laws of physics and are able to hear it in your room. Vinyl is an electro mechanical vibration resonance hobby. Try this te... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners If appears you've struck an ET 2.0 2.5 motherlode Manitunc. Big honkin air chamber. 6" pvc about 2.5' longAn indicator to me that someone understood how important air delivery was and was careful with his stuff. thats the type of surge tank - PVC ... |
