| Polk Audio RT2000p or LSi 25's--- WHO CARES ??? There's something fishy about this thread. The Audiogon system has said that there has been 22 replies for over a week, but there are over 60 today and there has been over 22 for over a week. This thread, and the other two related polk ones, have ... | |
| Floor standing speakers under $1500.00 Not to hijack the thread, but what made you chose the Lores over the Lore S? Thanks! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The Kuzma looks like a nice arm, but one thing that always made me scratch my head is the air supply tube. We ET-2 owners pay so much attention to tonearm wire routing. What about that stiff plastic tubing on the Kuzma? It seems like it would have... | |

| 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... |
