| What does the term rolled off highs mean ? what would the sound of the trebel be if the reviewer said rolled off highsIt's all relative! If a reviewer likes a speaker with a lot of treble and then hears a perfectly flat speaker, he may say that it's rolled off! | |
| Turntable speed accuracy How do TT bearings in motors from the 50s differ from those used now? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy What harm do you think there is if the two threads touch?Increased friction and additional vibration/noise, especially when the knot of one rubs past the other thread. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman, I couldn't agree more. I just assumed that his arm was perfectly parallel with his platter's surface!Philcoffino,If it's not, make that adjustment first, then level your suspension with the oracle gauge to make sure that your aluminum pli... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Philcoffino,Is it a Delphi? I have an ET-2 on my Delphi, but don't experience that problem. You might want to check to make sure that your platter is perfectly level. If it's not, when the cartridge gets near the end of an LP, the platter will bec... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Unfortunately bringing the motor closer to the platter also brings it closer to the cartridge as well.It also results in less contact between the belt and the motor pulley. That seems like a bad idea because there's already so little contact there... | |

| Rebuiding midrangers on Thiels I had my 3.5 mid drivers rebuilt by Thiel around six years ago. I think I still have the invoice. I can tell you for a fact that it did not cost $300 per driver. That would make the rebuild cost more than what the speakers are worth. I want to say... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro, I can't think of a reason for a bearing to provide drag in a turntable- that seems like a Bad Idea to me. Are you sure the bearing is OK?What style bearing is in the Raven? I remember reading about it some time ago... something about it be... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover,Just to clarify-The conclusions were that the unwanted energy transmitted went straight through the air bearing and out the other end relatively unimpeded.Do you mean that the energy went from the spindle, through the air gap, into the manif... | |
| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? Jhendrixfan,Be careful with the Kokomo bearing with the ceramic ball. There have been numerous accounts of the ceramic ball wearing a dimple into the thrust surface of the Garrard spindle. Apparently it doesn't take much time, either. You would be... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover,When you mentioned removing the heat shrink from the arm tube, which arm tube were you talking about? My aluminum tube does not have any on it, but I also have what I think is the heavy magnesium tube (it's definitely not the aluminum or car... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm,Congratulations. Is that with the stylus in the groove? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy You must be kidding me, right?Hiho,I'm not sure how to take that. If you know the names of any engineers who designed state of the art TTs in the 70s and 80s, why don't you just list them, along with the company they worked for, and where they pos... |
