| The Audiophile's Wife I just re-read April/May; I am laughing hysterically. Your wife has a gift. I look forward to the next installments; they are missed. All best. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I look forward to Bruce T's comments! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****When you feel you have it sounding as best as possible if at all possible please remove the shim and try to finesse the wires to get the cartridge on without a shim. To compare. The arm tube is CF but the head of it is not. I just realized thi... | |
| Help me choose a CL special - $200 Some things to consider:To my ears the Met 7's are the most interesting choice. They are classics that have some musical qualities that none of the others do; imo. They can sound really really good, and are very sophisticated little speakers. But ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Great tips Chris, and I couldn't agree more. When I started using higher pressure pumps a few years ago my Airtech surge tank literally exploded; in spite of the tank having a safety valve. The safety valve would not kick in until about 21 psi, an... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover, I would think that the changes in the sound caused by varying the amount of torque are due to ensuing changes in the resonance characteristics of the arm. Regards. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Slaw, tuneful bass indeed. The Acutex on the ET makes the most realistic bass that I have ever gotten with my setup. Not just powerful (a lot of cartridges do that), the bass moves with the same rhythmic impetus as the rest of the frequency ran... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Good for you! BTW, your posts should be read by all the cynics who believe there are no decent dealers out there. Never heard the Magtech gear, but sounds like a great match for the Snells. Personally, I would look at a CAT preamp. Based on what s... | |
| Top 5 Song Writers Of The 80's Can't believe no one has mentioned Stevie Wonder. | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... 1967, ten years old, and having immigrated to this great country (USA) a mere two weeks earlier, I heard "Hey Jude" by The Beatles on my uncle's tube radio (Fisher). Couldn't understand a single word of the lyrics, but my God, I had never heard an... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Thanks for reporting back. I think what you are doing is just great, and an invaluable experience. I am not surprised by your reactions/comments. We sometimes get used to excessive brightness and think it is more lifelike or "live"; until we hear ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dg, I use 1.5 meters of wire with no sign of any issue due to length. I suppose it's possible that a shorter length sounds even better, but the Cardas and Discovery looms are both 1.0 m and the AN is obviously superior to both; according to my tas... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dg, I use a continuous run from cartridge clips to phono stage, where it is soldered directly to the circuit board. I don't know the resistance spec for the AN wire. I can tell you that it is by far my favorite in comparison to the VDH silver clad... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I agree with Chris and Dover, in my experience the ET should not be run downhill. Anything but perfect leveling of the arm causes image instability and balance problems at best, and in a worst case it causes severe distortion at the end of a recor... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Excellent! have fun, and don't forget to bring some of your favorite music. |
