| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The seller has no feedback, AND it's Audiogon. Also, altho it's a rare collectible and there is no real market value, the asking price is about 2X recent sales prices for this item of which I am aware. | |
| What is the best vintage TT for new audiophile? Jean, You have a decided idler bias. EMTs are stratospherically high in price these days, even for examples in really nasty condition.For much less money than Jean's #1,2, 4, and 5 choices, and for a direct-drive option, I suggest Denon DP75 or DP... | |
| Hi pitched hum from TT pre-amp? Or a tube socket going bad or a tube that is loose in a failing tube socket. Take a look inside. Could be fixable by merely straightening up the culprit tube in its socket, but then you may want to make plans to do some freshening. | |
| Setting Azimuth Oh yes, forgot that you were reading off the tonearm cables. Just out of curiosity, does your system SOUND like there is a channel imbalance in the same direction as indicated by the Foz, when you connect the tonearm to the phono stage? If not, th... | |
| Setting Azimuth Dear Arnold, Last night I realized that the suggestion I made re tube swapping to localize the source of your channel imbalance, in my last post, was needlessly laborious. Whether your phono and linestage are tube or transistor type, all you need ... | |
| Setting Azimuth "How does one adjust channel balance?" When all else fails, you need a classic balance control on your preamp/linestage. Modern equipment frequently omits such a control. The two channels may be different in output for any one of a number of reaso... | |
| Can you believe this? Dear Harold, Life is priceless with or without a turntable. If you have evidence to the contrary, please let me know. Glad you're happy. | |
| Setting Azimuth Dear Brian,Doug Deacon and I agree: Azimuth does not have much effect on channel balance. But I am just a shlub. Don't take my word for it, although I did experiment with this just to prove to myself that it is true. Using the suitable test track ... | |
| Lenco Lamp Replacement Bulb Find some sort of part number or similar type marking on the bulb and use it to do a Google search. Using the brand name in your search may help as well. I predict you will find a replacement bulb, but if you don't, forgeddaboudit. | |
| Setting Azimuth I recall looking at the display on your computer and seeing how adjusting azimuth affected the relative phase of the two channels. I know you prefer to say that adjusting azimuth affects phasing. Most of us do not have the equipment to monitor pha... | |
| Setting Azimuth Wow! You got a lot of response in a short time. I am too lazy to read them all, but the answer, as far as I am concerned, is that azimuth is NOT a way to change channel balance, if you are talking about the output of each channel. Azimuth has very... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman and other SL tonearm devotee's: I would think you are defeating one of the prime advantages of an SL tonearm by deliberately setting the stylus so that it is not on the radius of the LP (a line from the outer edge through the center of the... | |
| Can you believe this? I would like to know more about the Phase Linear turntable; I was not aware that they ever made one. (Chances are, it's a re-branded product made in Japan for Phase Linear. It might even be a Micro Seiki, since they did a lot of work for other com... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, You really ought to work on how you relate to others. Because you hear things differently from me or anyone else does not mean that the other guy's system is somehow inferior to yours. I take your point that the DV505 may interact diffe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nicola, To quote myself, "OK, so I will try to say what I meant by referring to the Acutex LPM320 as "clinical", only in comparison to the Grace Ruby and Stanton 980LZS: The latter two cartridges give me more information about the ambience of the ... |
