| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 1986, June as I recall, my first ET.In '78 whilst studying Engineering at University I learnt a fundamental law of physics.Q : How do you titillate an ocelot.A : You oscillate it's tit a lot.We didn't have Wikipedia in those days. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Further to the above post for those interested the weights of the arm options excluding the wire are: 13g ( Al) . 17g (Cf) & 19g for the heavy magnesium version. So Bruce has designed in only an additional 2-6g for MC's. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris/Frogman - Thanks for your feedback and comments. I was beginning tho think that analogue heaven consisted of only me and Bruce on a desert island.I think the key point Chris as you have alluded to is that even if we assumed the Kuzma was the... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richardkrebs/John47 Quote from ET2 Manual – Bruce Thigpen P29It is desirable in most cases ( low to medium compliance cartridges 5x10 dynes/cm – 20x10 dynes/cm ) to use the minimum number of weights, far out on the cantilever stem. This decreases ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners RichardkrebsReaders of this thread will now see that you are contradicting yourself. Adding additional weight to an ET2.5 would be inadvisable since it is already in the Goldilocks zone I mentioned. Namely its horizontal resonant frequency is in t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, Thanks.The results concur with both my own testing and the correct application of the laws of physics and sound engineering practice when setting up the ET2. The use of decoupling is an essential element to optimize the performance. To remo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richardkrebs - You have now conceded after 4-5 weeks of obfuscation that there is cantilever deflection on eccentric records below the resonant frequency. It follows that adding mass increases deflection as I asserted back in February. On 02-16-13... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners RichardkrebsWith regard to cantilever deflection on eccentric records, it is clear you are confused. Let me explain:Your original statements on this matter were and I quote03-12-13: RichardkrebsBelow this resonant frequency the cartridge is able t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richardkrebs,There was no personal attack. I simply addressed the anomalies and reasons for the errors in your post dated 03-14-13.I will review your latest post tomorrow. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners RichardkrebsOK now I understand where you are going wrong in your thinking.Shown here is a link to the Math on driven harmonic oscillators, a mathematical representation of an arm/ cartridge assembly. The arm/cartridge/record interface has 2 fulcr... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong -I would ask you to consider the looking at this the other way round. Just because everyone says something sounds the best, is it. Most people thought the world was flat at one time.My experience with high end audio is that most audiophile... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners This post includes feedback from Bruce ThigpenDear gentle reader, Over the past month Richardkrebs has argued the case for adding substantial lead mass to the ET2 and replacing the decoupled counterweight with a fixed counterweight.In Richardkrebs... | |
| Triode mode vs pento mode Atmasphere - Thank you for the response on ultralinear vs triode. That confirms my thoughts. Fwiw I got the Dyna's in triode mode and converted them back to ultrulinear. It was so much better I never went back. Later on I converted them back from ... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong,Yes I agree with you. I only used the 12mm as that was what was used on the Kuzma video Richardkrebs referred to.The key point as you have indicated is that the Kuzma and Terminator arms will have 3-400% higher lateral force on the cantile... |
