Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
Dear Chris, my last post just crossed with your answer - indeed, the bearing of the ET 2.5 can take much higher pressure. I found my tonearm files with the remarks about the ET 2.5 and my last settings were around 1.0 to 1.1 bar - which is, as you...

Dear Chris, I found my old files ... last setting with the ET 2.5 was 1.2 bar. Notes further mentioned "threshold - can't take more pressure due to material and problems with re-bouncing air stream".Cheers,D. 
EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?
Dear Mosin, dear Lewm, dear In_shore, while I myself are quite an admirer of the Micro Seiki skeleton turntables (RX-1500 g-versions, RX-3000, RX-5000 and SX-8000 in particular), I nevertheless understand the initial "cold welcome" it received fro...

Dear Chris,my ET 2 was mounted first on the big Le Tallec tt (modified) and later on the Apolyt (450 lbs chassis, 100 lbs composite platter on radial/axial air bearing, 2 Hz air suspension frequency of whole turntable).The ET 2.5 was mounted on th...

Hi Chris,last topic first .... yes, there is also an UNI-template for tangential tonearms.1) "We" was referring to the audiophile community - including me.Kind of universal - in the sense of "we, the people" - i.e. not a club nor a circle of frien...

Dear John_gordon, you don't really want me to tell you what additional breakdown torque is and why it does of course influence the skating force.If you think skating force is just a phenomenon of friction and downforce - fine, certainly no problem... 
Ideal SUT for Lyra Olympos cartridge?
Dear Dave, a "matching primary" doesn't mean at all that it's the same inductance. We are talking about SUT - ergo: (S)tep (U)p (T)ransformer.Not step down nor 1:1.If you are in SUTs a bit - which I presume you are .. - you know very well what I m...

Good point here. That's the reason for the micrometer driven linear stage carrying the positioning arm - it sets "Y" precisely for whatever null point the specific UNI-template sets.My initial thoughts when designing the UNI-Pro were similar.If a ...

Dear Jazzgene, thank you for your impressions.In the 2nd production run we will produce too a different version of the round reticle with black cross-hairs.It will be much easier to read when spotting silver colored bearing houses.This is availabl... 
Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10
Dear Thuchan, the problem in all these cable test is always the same. It is the very same in all these audio tests. Every test not performed by yourself is performed and verified with a different set of ears and a different brain as yours. As such... 
Ideal SUT for Lyra Olympos cartridge?
Dear Syntax, this brings to my mind again a favorite story I always loved. It is about two audiophiles seeking the "truth" in audio - and about the difference between science, philosophy and audio.Here we go:- what is science? Two audiophiles in a... 
Ideal SUT for Lyra Olympos cartridge?
Well, Syntax in his human materialistic form is 6 feet and 4 inches - rather tall and pretty grown up. I wonder whether his critic here can match that ...In any case - I had those top-flight MM and MI cartridges when they were new - not NOS ... - ... 
Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10
Dear Nikola, at least "discussions" between R. and D. do contribute do fill the audio silly season which approaches soon ...;-) ...You and me know well enough the principle of the volontè générale and how it was and is misinterpreted ever since it... 
Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10
Dear Lewm, the silver litz in the Ikeda is not isolated from each other. The fact that here a small bundle of extremely thin wire is used is due to the requested flexibility. When possible - for instant in armwands like the MAX-armpipes or Exclusi...
