| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Ct0517, I'm very rusty since its about 15 years since I used the ET2, but from memory I had an I beam with a thin metal strip at the bearing tube end. I packed soft strip ( might have used thin lead or teflon ) either side of the thin metal bit... | |
| seek mc cart recommendation for Townshend Rock III Hi, yes, the reason being is that MC's can put a lot of energy into a tonearm. The Rega 300 arm is excellent for the money but not up to a good MC. A MM will generally put less energy into the arm and sound more relaxed, more natural.I know many p... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Re the Kenwood L07D and the Technics SP10mk3.In understanding the design we must remember these turntables were built for quite different purposes or use. The L07D was an all out assault to produce a state of the art tt for home use. The SP10mk3 w... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm,I struggle with this statement - "among designers of both belt- and direct-drive turntables there seems to be a divide around weak motor/huge platter vs strong motor/light(er) platter"I have never associated high mass platters with low torque... | |
| Sirius and Walker Raul - no I didn't know who Jtinn was, I dont live in the US and yes when you read the comments on turntables in his system where he states the NVS is better than ...., there is no disclosure of his commercial interest in NVS. | |
| seek mc cart recommendation for Townshend Rock III I used to sell Rock's many years ago and had very good results with a good MM, often better than mid priced MC's. Have you considered something like the Clearaudio Beta or Virtuoso MM's. | |
| Amp for JBL L112 Of the amps you've mentioned, my view is keep looking. Since you are in Europe what about picking up an older Symphonic Line, Burmester or YBA. | |
| Amp for JBL L112 On my JBL 4311's I found more power tightened the bottom end even though the speakers are quite efficient - going from a 70wpc Rowland to 250wpc Rowland monoblocks. What I found was good clean power plus a tube preamp to provide the warmth. Brysto... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro, you have done a fantastic job bringing us up to speed on this and also leading the way on trying alternative ideas on your Raven. However I must pull you up on a couple of comments on DD"The differences between the two drive types I believ... | |
| Sirius and Walker Jtinn, As you have acknowledged we are all biased in some way or another. Context is important in trying to understand the views that people put forward. In your system you have made the following statement "The Wave Kinetics NVS Direct Drive Turn... | |
| Sirius and Walker Jonathan Tinn should be declaring his interest as a manufacturer when passing comment on turntable performance. Reading his profile and system it is clear he makes subjective comments on competing products performance without declaring his interes... | |
| Linear tracking arms and compliance... Atmasphere, when I used an ET2 many years ago these issues were ameliorated byUsing as light a counterweight as possible mounted on a horizontal leaf spring. By tuning the leaf spring through loosening the clamp you could reduce the initial horizo... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dev - the Final Audio platter material is aluminium with very heavy copper mat. The thread runs on the aluminium part. I would have thought the copper is harder than aluminium and should be safe but not absolutely sure. | |
| Some tables have soul and some not I can confirm the Final Labs Parthenon was reviewed by TAS, first by Harry Pearson and then by Warwick Mickell who was a TAS writer based in Japan. I own the unit reviewed by Warwick, a personal friend. Unfortunately HP insisted on putting a high ... | |
