| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-24-13: RichardkrebsDoverCorrection, you have not heard the full krebs upgrade.Two people in NZ have.Please confine your comments in posts to those that are actually true. RichardkrebsYour assertion is wrong. I have listened at length to the Tec... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-23-13: RichardkrebsMy TT and Pre happen to sit on granite surface plates, surplus left overs from our machin shop. They are used, not of their flatness but their energy sinking properties.This is not correct. Granite is very very hard and there... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517 - further to my previous post, my experiments with copper mats is that you get more out of them when used in conjunction with a record clamp to ensure tight coupling of the record to the copper. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517 - I have listened at length to several SP10's both MkII and Mk3 both with and without the krebsupgrade. To my ears none of them are particularly transparent. Both the Micro Seiki 5000 ( air bearing ) and Ipad (on BDR cones with Cambridge 84... | |
| Headshell leads and Arche headshell 06-18-13: SuteetatOn Koetsu cartridge with long body, if you tilt the mounting plate just a little bit, bottom end of the cartridge body would hit the LP quite easily.If you feel the cartridge needs to be so far down at the back to get the VTA rig... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-17-13: John47Correction: the review I posted was not Stereophile. It was Audio magazine, 1987, reviewer Edward M Long.Dover: "Back in December last year I posted a postulation that one could consider mounting the cartridge slightly forward of ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517The best Pinot Gris in NZ are from the Central Otago region as are the best Pinot Noir. Even the cheapies from this region will usually be better than from elsewhere in NZ. The Hawkes Bay region is known for its Cabernet/Merlots's and the Ma... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-15-13: SlawI can only add: when I set up a cartridge, I try hard to set the appropriate VTA for said cartridge in the "neutral zone", (my term), of the arc block. The "neutral zone".... This to me is the (center range) of the arc block, where ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-16-13: Ct0517 Richardkrebs - Here is a conundrum. Stylus drag is significant, being able to slow some TT platters. What about the other side of the coin? What about a TT platter system that doesn’t slow down with stylus drag, but can’t slow do... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-12-13: RichardkrebsSlaw."Variations in the degree of trueness"Totally agree. Since I had the luxury of building the arm and TT, almost concurrently, I could deal with these topics in real time. Getting accurate alignment when two components ar... | |
| KEF 107.2 with KUBE? There are much better speakers out there now. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 05-27-13: RichardkrebsDover says."....on an undamped standard ET with decoupled counterweight there is a resonant peak at 3 times the fundamental resonant frequency, and that this is reduced with fluid damping on a standard ET with decoupled coun... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John47, my name is Dover, not Utter Nonsense Dover. I have in fact studied engineering and English as well at university.Please see below the difference between “a” and “the”"a" [uh; when stressed ey] indefinite article3.another; one typically res... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong – The answer to your question regarding frequencies impacted by horizontal Fr from Richardkrebs are mostly wrong. It is important that they are addressed.Impact of Fundamental Resonance:05-20-13: RichardkrebsThekong.The answer to your ques... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong, hi there, Hi Dover, You have mentioned that too high a horizontal effective mass would result in a raised bass response by 6-12db. So, in what frequency range are we talking about (the Fr at below 12Hz?)?I just wonder if the high horizont... |
