| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I found a rare reprint or Myles Astor's TAS review of the Motronix Acuflow Air Regulator:http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?5653-Linear-tracking-Turntables!/page3&highlight=motronixApparently, two of the people involved with designin... | |
| Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan Those of you in the USA who purchased from 2juki - did you have to pay import/tariff taxes? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The HP manifold for my ET-Two 2.0 arm arrived from Bruce yesterday. After a much easier-than-anticipated swap out of the manifolds (simple thumb-push out and in), I cranked up the regulators to deliver 17 psi to the arm and settled in for a listen... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Dover,It would seem to me that the constant corrective motion of the arm to compensate for LP production imperfections, either lateral or vertical (warps), would involve some degree of "overshoot" and, thus, generate some stylus/groove misalign... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks as always, Frogman. I found a decent deal on a new Shelter 901 Mk II. Several reviews and owner posts say that the Mk II has similar tonality but incrementally better overall sound quality and a slightly higher output (.55mV) compared to th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Okay, guys, how 'bout some MC cartridge recommendations for mating with my ET Two. I'm currently using my tried-and- true van den Hul MC Two HOMC (2.25mV output with vdH 1 stylus). I really like the sound of this cartridge with the ET Two (transpa... | |
| Balanced or single ended phono stage? Tdaudio: " The Ayre P-5xe is nice in that you can use the RCA single ended input and still take advantage of the balanced input. Just flip the bal/single ended switch to balanced. There is a slight difference in signal path but I verified with Ay... | |
| Balanced or single ended phono stage? A great and informative thread with only one contributor thus far claiming that the only benefit of differentially balanced circuitry is with long interconnect runs (would like to know more of her direct personal experience with true differentiall... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi guys,I talked with Bruce yesterday. My 2.0 HP manifold is two weeks off. There are no 2.5 manifolds nor setup jigs available right now, but there are tentative plans to make a production run of both in the next 6 months or so. Bruce confirmed t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners HI CHRIS - ANSWERS IN CAPITALS BELOW:Dave - just so we understand. so no noise in your system with NO pump on - stylus in groove - and the preamp volume high. RIGHTthis is with a stock ET2 which is designed to work at about 3 psi. RIGHTWhen you tu... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,Thank you so much for the comprehensive response. Very helpful.I shamelessly stole the TNT thread drive mod (all the way down to using unwaxed dental floss) from your posts here. BIG improvement!Ditto for the second low pressure regulator... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks Frogman. I did experiment with higher pressures (15-17 psi) over the last couple days and my ears are telling me that sonic differences between 5psi and 12psi are very subtle and I really can't discern any improvement above 12psi. Maybe tha... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello fellow ET owners! I recently resurrected my TNT/ET Two (2.0) rig and thanks to this thread and a lot of advice and encouragement from Frogman, the sound quality is now the best I have heard from my system:Dave's systemAfter converting the TN... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Danny. I am actually thinking of buying both while they are available - stock is nearly exhausted.Dave | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Has anyone tried a NOS ATN160ML stylus on a Signet TK-7LCa body?I know that Timeltel and Halco have used the ATN155LC on the TK-7LCa with good results, but I don't recall any posts on the ATN160ML stylus with the TK-7Lca.Jack at stereoneedles is s... |
