| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings Phish concerts. Particularly those originally recorded to analog tape, anything from 97, 98, and 99, and any good shows from other years. If the source is analog, please preserve it (no A>D>A).Grateful Dead concerts. Particularly those origi... | |
| Rack/shelf for albums - suggestions please If you google "Expedit records" you will see many pictures of the shelf full of records and toppled over. It probably has a lot to do with the size you get, how full of LPs yo pack it, and whether you attach it to the wall or not. I wouldn't doubt... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners You can’t put wear on the ET2 spindle or bearing. The spindle can only be damaged by driving over it with your car. I realize that moving the spindle back and forth in the manifold feels “very wrong” and “rough” without the pump. It feels like you... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Regarding changing the cartridge with the air pump on- I made a simple latch that locks the cueing shift to the cueing eccentric when you don't want the arm to move around on you. Using the latch with the pump on when changing cartridges eliminate... | |
| Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms. Lewm et al, theET2 definitely goes out of level in my experience on Oracles ( the worst ), Linn's etc. I don't think you can just slap an ET2 on an Oracle and expect it to work well. I bought my Delphi with the ET2 arm already optimized for it whi... | |
| Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms. If the linear tracking arm was to blame, then I guess all of the Walker tables, Rockports, and Kuzma Air Line tonearms are wearing out LPs left and right. Give me a break. | |
| Moving VPI TNT, Wheaton Triplanar, Transfiguration I don't know if I can take them on the plane with me though...any thoughts?I took an ET2 tonearm on a plane with me about 5 years ago. They opened the box, looked at it, looked at me very suspiciously, and said, "what is it?" I told them what it w... | |
| Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms. Atmasphere,Are you familiar with the ET2 arm? Its counterweight is decoupled in the horizontal plane which lowers its horizontal effective mass. I'm not sure if any other linear tracking arms have that feature. | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Ketchup, I was not aware of that feature on the ET arms. Very interestingIt is pretty cool. I don't know of any other arm with this feature. After I posted above, I realized that the height of the ET2 arm can also be adjusted to compensate for vin... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang The only way the offset would not move when adjusting VTA up or down is if the tonearm post was curved.The Eminent Technology ET 2 tonearm has a curved post for this exact reason. The part is called the arc block or VTA block. The arc block is sta... | |
| HDtracks died Totally off topic, but most of their hi-res downloads don't tell you the source. Is there some way to find that out? I want to know if it was from the master tape or a dub, what equipment they used, who did the mastering, etc. For all I know, it m... | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material Theaudiotweak,I bet Geoffkait can help you as I'm sure he probably cryos many of the products that he sells (the Super Intelligent Chip, the Signature Version of the Clever Little Cock, the Brilliant Pebbles, the Tru-Tone Duplex Covers, and the Sp... | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material Tom, I totally hear you.Opinions based on experience or science are somewhat valid, but opinions not based on either should not even waste space in the forums. That's why I wanted to know if anyone actually tried both. Do I think there's anyone wh... | |
