| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners it needs to be as light as possible for low mass, however, making the arm too light sacrifices rigidity.I think what he's talking about here is the construction of the arm itself. If you make the arm too light by making the spindle wall thinner an... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Oilmanmojo,Thanks a lot for posting about your tonearm wire. I just want to get something straight, though. You said you bought 0.015", 0.010", 0.005" diameter wire from A-M Systems. In your system page, you mentioned using 0.003" wire in your ton... | |
| Pressing Issues Elizabeth,I was going to say the exact same thing, but yo beat me to it. If the pre-echo plays at anything less that one full rotation of the LP before the actual sound, it's not a vinyl issue. It's bleed through. My reel to reel tapes consistentl... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,Funny, this morning I happened to see the post where I got the Phoenix Wire idea from. It came from Oilmanmojo here:New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice He gives another source for wire- A-M Systems | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup – I had a look at your setup. You have done some really interesting stuff too in your system. You have gone in front of the manifold with the wiring. You were considering some new medical wire ? .003" in diameter with .001" thick teflon in... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw,Your pictures came through. Looks good! You mentioned on your system page that you also did a cantilever bolt modification. What exactly is that? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello,I currently own an ET-2 and an ET-2.5 tonearm. My ET-2, which I bought used, came with a Wisa air pump and Airtech surge tank and my ET-2.5 came with an ET branded Takatsuki pump (also bought used). My ET-2 has an aluminum arm wand and my ET... | |
| Acoustic Solid main bearing oil Also, adding a small amount of flake graphite (It is conductive.) to whatever oil is used will help with spindle grounding because most bearing assemblies won't provide that ground without help. I suspect that is the sole reason that Linn specifie... | |
| Which Digital Level Gauge to buy? True audiofool nerviosa.Says a guy who uses a $1500 diamond scale to set up a tonearm :)By all means, stick with what you're using if you're happy with it. I merely gave another option that's more accurate and less expensive than the fence post le... | |
| Which Digital Level Gauge to buy? I would like to clarify a point that I had intended to put in my previous post.If your digital level that reads to 1/10 degree is reading 0.0, you are most likely not at 0.0. You are hovering somewhere between the two points where the level displa... | |
| Which Digital Level Gauge to buy? A machinists level is much more accurate than anything mentioned here. For instance, a very low cost Starrett 98-6 level (less than $100) has divisions that are approximately 80-90 seconds or .005" per foot (0.42mm per meter). An electronic level ... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Mepearson,What ever happened here? Are you still around? On March 15, 2010 you said that you began listening to the Fidelity Research FR64s and you would update the thread when you were sure that you had everything dialed in. What was the outcome?... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha I mentioned the price point because you can only enjoy a speaker in your home with the electronics that you can afford. If you're shopping for speakers and electronics, you have to get what sounds the best to you at a cost that you an afford.I wou... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha Why would you pair up one speaker with an amp that is voiced for it and then listen to another speaker with the same amp if it's not voiced for it? I'm not saying that's what happened in the original post, just saying. In my opinion, you can surel... | |
| The Hub: 2010 CES + THE coverage online Thanks for the samples! Where were the mics placed for these recordings? Were they consistently placed at ear height in the listening position or did placement vary from room to room? |
