| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong ....the owner of that Sirius III was complaining on Audiogon that the arm couldn’t track more than 3 cuts into the LP.....Hi Thekong – thx for that info. Well imo whatever it was able to play ...it would have been a subpar performance from... | |
| B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier Rrog and Marakanetz When someone asks for an opinion I like to read about direct experiences and real data. Based on the OPs requirements which may change, my reply was based on his OP. I figure he can make a decision based on his own. How do ... | |
| B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier Pvctor - I am wondering if a 60W tube amp such as Conrad Johnson MV 60 or Premier 11A would do the job for mostly low level listening in a small-mid size room. Does anybody have experience with similar combination ?Hi Pvctor hows it going fellow... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks for that info Thekong and Dover. Thekong – something doesn’t look right to me with that Sirius III pic ? Looking at the air tube wiring – how does that tonearm get past the 2nd track? Isn’t the air tube pushing back at the arm as it makes i... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517 - We know the heavier ET2 armtube affects the horizontal mass as well.this was worded badly. This thread is too old to allow for corrections. I wanted to say the arm wand weight lighter or heavier, affects both the vertical and horizontal i... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong - In the later, upgraded, models of the Rockport 6000, i.e. the 7000 and the arm on the Sirius III, AP chose to use heavier armtubes. I believe all 3 arms used the same air-bearing, and their armtube clamping systems are of the same (or ve... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard re: damping trough. Thanks for bringing this up. I have completed my game of musical turntables, so I will revisit the damping trough now. It can get messy when moving an ET2 from one TT to the next with a trough of oil attached ! My main ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover ....but there are some pivoted arms that can provide musical enjoyment as well.You’re a real funny guy Dover. Did anybody ever tell you that? I did not say I didn’t enjoy my pivot arms. I said they couldn’t go straight.....they need some he... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover - Andy Payor and Bruce Thigpen both disagree with adding mass.Cant speak for Andy Payor but this is not true with BT. The original ET2 came out when MM’s were popular. When heavier less compliant MC’s became popular. Bruce introduced the hea... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Manitunc You can also find the measurements for VPI and SOTA templates in the online ET2 manual - Part two on pages 62 and 63 at the back. Drilling even the one small hole that the ET2 needs, in a nice plinth ranks up there as probably one of t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Some Gooseneck Impressions in my system/room. First a reference point. You can go listen to a group/band in the same location for two different days. They will sound different for each performance. No performance is the same. They are humans after... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 04-27-13: Dover.....dont be embarrassed about using spotify, I've heard spotify streamed through an Ipad.........Dover – if you know Spotify then you would know its not available in Canada. Have never heard it. My post on that article had everythi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover – I enjoyed your poem :^) It reminded me of someone else on this thread whose moniker implies the test of time. I am terrible at poems. I wrote one for a girl a long time ago and gave it to her. She broke up with me the next day.It left a ba... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Air Bearing Stiffness RichardkrebsStiffnessMany years ago I remember reading an audio magazine which tested the rigidity of the ET2 bearing. It may have been Martin Colloms, but I can't be sure. This was done, again from memory, where accelerometr... | |
