| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I would read through the ET manual to get re-acquainted with the setup and maintenance again. Page 25 of the manual shows how you can adjust the cuing mechanism. It almost looks like your cuing got reversed: lever up -> cartridge down. ET we... | |
| Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming Honestly in that price range, I don't think you can go wrong with any of those particular brands. The audible differences are going to be minimal, so really the only decision would be personal aesthetics and perhaps upgradability. Also some of t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Considering taking the plunge on a London Decca Super Gold for my ET-2. Was there a consensus about the viability of the current version (SG3) using them with the stock ET-2 aluminum wand tonearm without having a dampening trough?I'm generally pla... | |
| Schiit Sol or Rega Planar 6? According to Jason at Schiit the Sol is out of stock and, due to supply issues, possibly done for good."Sol may be next--we've turned off ordering while we are filling current backorders so we can catch up. Long delays on some parts mean we don't ... | |
| Cartridge for my friend The Bronze is a solid choice, but I personally like the Nagaoka MP-200 around that price point. | |
| Tube Rolling Woes Are you experiencing similar issues (top end is bright, and the mids and bass are very thin) in the passive and/or buffer modes as you are in tube mode? | |
| Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp New table for sure. VPI is usually the most mentioned in that price range, but I personally prefer the aesthetics of the Clearaudio Concept w/ Satisfy tonearm.I would make look at the various online retailers (MusicDirect, HiFi Heaven, Upscale Aud... | |
| MM Phono preamp under $200 Recommendations I'm thrilled with my iFi Zen phono | |
| Searching for a Integrated Amp under $2K Schiit Ragnarok is 60/w, XLRs, sold with or without the DAC module. Not a hybrid though.Rogue Sphinx v3 is a solid 100w hybrid, but no XLR. | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp No direct experience, but at that price range I've only heard great things about the Sutherland 20/20 and the PS Audio Stellar. | |
| Upgrading phono stage Doesn't Rogue Audio have an upgrade program for the Sphinx? Don't hold me to it, but I thought I read that the V3 phono was a good step up from the V2 version. If you enjoy the Sphinx, I would look at upgrading to V3 as well your cartridge, a 2M... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @stuogawa FWIW I contacted the main email last week about a missing VTA lever and Bruce (or at least somebody with Bruce's email and signature) responded. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners So you would advise against me lugging around two 45 pound SOTAs to a DJ gig? Ha!I do love fine tuning the VTA while playing records, but it takes a very steady hand, given my springy table suspension system.Thanks for the detailed explanation on... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I'm the proud new owner of an ET-2.0 attached to a SOTA Star Sapphire and looking for cartridge advice. Tonearm has the original aluminum wand single leaf spring on the I-Beam.I've seen the yellow sticky, but I'm still learning about the concept... |
