| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners "Normally" the I-beam is in line with the tonearm, ie. "horizontal" tonearm & I-beam. (I think that's what you see in the manual.) "Underhung" - which is popular and necessary to a degree with unipivot bearings, the I-beam would slightly slope... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Coming home from a show and maybe listening with ones partner is always interesting and sometimes also telling something, but what? I was favourably impressed even by my "little digital wonder" of battery-fed RPI3-Hifiberry Digi Pro streamer / CEC... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners - Last week a post-Munich dealer / customer exhibit took place at Micha Hubers (manu-) factory near Zurich. I met Micha for the first time, haven’t used his products in my own system (yet). On show were two Thales turntables and a new smaller EMT ... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. These DACs, and perhaps some other high end DACs, have been able to deliver excellent SQ from MQA. If you heard MQA over these DACs you might change your mind about its quality. Isn't 95% of the perceived sound quality a result of convincing en... | |
| analog upgrade suggestions needed Thanks! - But still, do you have a drawing / photograph? I think there are other ways to achieve it with other tonearms too. To see you solution might help. | |
| analog upgrade suggestions needed Hi Raul! Half off-thread - I enjoyed the long MM thread & I enjoy using a B&O MMC 2 on my ET2 arm. Do you have a photograph or a drawing of the way you have bypassed the B&O-adapter electrically? Thanks in advance... :-) | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Is there anybody reading here, who is experienced in modeling mechanical systems as equivalent electronical circuits? I was not able yet to figure out the equiv. circuit for the (horizontal) 4th order system tonearm / decoupled counter weight mys... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @nandric From what I have read and understood, the removal of the post has only to do with eliminating the bot-trigger word "me.t..." to save the discussion thread being flooded with spam. Using this abbreviation is "logical" and understandable i... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Nandric, one of my fondest memories is a FR 7 /FR 64 combo, the sound and solidity of which I see like carved out of rock. I also remember how low the horizontal resonant frequency was... fumbling around with tuning aspects of a tonearm is not ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners BTW - constant VTF isnt’t the issue of the arc-block for VTA adjustment. It is the constant (zero) overhang with different VTAs. Increasing VTA by increasing the height of the pillar of a radial arm, the arm shortens in the horizontal plane. Thus ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi all & Dj...Just my thoughts: Your selection of cartridges is tasteful, even mouthwatering...Generally there is only one sort of cartridges I'd rather stay away except for a wish to abuse time, like to teaching a rhinoceros to dance. This is... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Best wishes - & hopefully less long states of mental hibernation or coronation...I wanted to bring to your attention this jewel of a technical discussion from Pierre Lurné:https://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/lurne_air_bearing_e.html now, well..... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? Actually the D6 sold for more than 750.– CHF in the early eighties, the D3 maybe slightly below 600.- CHF. They are built to last, except the tape heads, but the latter seem to be of very durable quality though.So, 40 years later in todays value, ... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? My cassette voyage started with a Technics RS 673 which I received as a gift for my high school degree - it still runs flawlessly, sendust heads, direct drive. It was a "high end" 2 head deck, the sound is still vivid and extremely stable. Actuall... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? I understand your question in two parts: a) do others hear the same and b) if yes, why?a) I hear the same, starting with and a long time with Maggies. The "simpler" ones had film caps, so no "real" cap forming was involved, and the degree of this ... |
