| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners “If the goal were to keep the cartridge still, then one would never reach the end of the record.The record groove is not a straight line; it is a spiral with a decreasing radius that requires the cartridge to move to the center of the record as it... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris: further to your comments on changing to the magnesium wand.According to Dover, what you heard was meaningless, unless the system was described at the time of testing - it could have been due to colorations elsewhere in the system.Additional... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Yes indeed Chris, that is a time honoured method, and can satisfy oneself. But not Dover - it lacks 'science and concrete evidence.' | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover, you wrote regarding Richardkrebs (and Chris/Ct0517 when he changed to his magnesium arm wand, as they used the same methodology) .... "I see very little science and no concrete evidence to support your observations." With all due respect, w... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw"I do agree with Fremer that this (acrylic) isn't the best material for great transient response, tight, controlled musical bass @ realistic sound that I crave."Interestingly, last night, I stumbled on the following comment re the VPI Scout 1.... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover: "The theory is that if you are running at the tangent then there are no lateral forces on the stylus and it will “chatter”, slowly eroding the high frequency grooves over time."The theory - its A theory. I'm fully aware of engineer Tony Kri... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Correction: 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 the tangent line.... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Not Utter Nonsense Dover, tell me about a resonant peak at 3 x Fr. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Utter Nonsense Dover, and I quote you "What Bruce Thigpen actually says on his website .......... 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 c... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Oh dear, Andy Payor doesn't know what he's doing either. He's just added distortion by incresing the weight of his arm. The world according to Dover. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover has repetitiously stated richardkrebs ADVOCATES adding lead mass to ETsThis is incorrect.Mr Krebs openly told the forum how he sets up HIS arm for his LOW compliance cartridge, and the reasoning behind it.He (RK) suggested others could try i... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 'Audio' review: further to my comment about enlarging individual pages on Chris's site.I've found it better to use View(Toolbar)> Zoom > Zoom In, and Ctrl + or Ctrl- | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Re the 'Audio' review. When you call up the pages on Chris's site, I've been alerted to what can be confusing.Call up one of the pages, then hit the + button at the bottom right of the page TWICE, and readable it will be. |
