| Help me pick some speakers Walstib,The "I was there" feeling is what I want, so I rarely reach for the soundboard recordings! I shied away from phish sbd recordings long ago and haven't obtained any in years. I just don't think they sound like the show. My vague recollectio... | |
| Help me pick some speakers I have to comment on the Thiel 3.5 recommendation. I have these speakers and love some jam bands. They almost always let anyone record their performances, but some of these amateur recordings are just not great sounding. These recordings sound awf... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner Does anyone know what frequency transducer the Audio Desk record cleaner uses? | |
| Speakers made with unusual cabinet material Some Thiel CS-6s had concrete front baffles. Magico uses 6061 aluminum in their speakers. I have a pair of Green Mountain Audio Europas in my room right now and they seem extremely heavy, dense, and inert. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,When you had your three magnets in a row, did you notice any difference in sound as a record side progressed? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I need to do the math, but I bet the change in overhang is pretty small with the typical VTA adjustment.If I were to build one, I would machine the arc with a rotary table and a milling machine (because I don't have cnc capabilities). | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard,I know we're talking magnets right now, but I have a question about your design. You did away with the original arc block which enables overhang to remain constant while VTA/SRA is adjusted. Does your design incorporate such a feature? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, I am intrigued by your idea of shims replacing the O rings in order to increase the rigidity of the bearing. I am confused however. Don't the O rings need to remain in place in order to keep air from leaking out of the manifold? What type... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners First an observation as I read what Ketchup and yourself said about the compliance in the air bearing spindle.Ketchup do you notice any difference in force required to move the spindle in your ET 2.0 and ET 2.5 with no air on?My ET 2.0 spindle can... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John,The spindle's material is aluminum. It is not magnetic, in that it is not attracted by magnets, but it is affected by eddy currents. This video should help:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H31K9qcmeMU | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard,It sounds like you have a lot of time into that arm. Very nice! A few months ago I took my ET 2.5 manifold out of the housing to give it a cleaning before I did the flow tests that Chris linked to above and to see how it's built. Upon reas... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,I was Googling images of "Garrard 301" and "ET-2" or something like that today and actually spotted another picture of Richards table. There are a few pictures here near the bottom of the thread.I have thought about making a new manifold hou... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm According to the Stereophile Review of the Wave Kinetics NVS it uses a DC motor with a laboratory grade servo controllerThis implies that laboratory grade servo controllers have to meet specific standards. Does anyone know what these standards are... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? Just curious- why even start this thread if you have a friend who "knows pretty much everything under the sun?" | |
| $$$ vs music enjoyment Onemug,It would be nice if you created virtual systems so we know where you're coming from. |
