| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @bdp24 this feels like an opened well or a stream of audio experience opened!Some of the landmarks I know too: My first acquisition (for my fathers audio system ;-) was a Decca International arm for a Decca, mounted on a TD 124. The self-made arm ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @bdp24, the first "HighEnd" (of the 70’s) I heard was my oldest brothers Garrard Zero tt with a Decca London (Grey?) with a top Pioneer integrated amp feeding a pair of recently refurbished Infinity 1001A. I made many cassette tapes from this setu... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Regarding Decca - indeed something special.The energy it puts into an arm through kind of a flimsy structure is challenging. This is predominantly in the vertical axis, which is much stiffer. The recommandation is probably "heavy arm" but maybe in... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ct517 the design difference has for shure not escaped me - "interesting differences" indeed!But in regard of horizontal mass, the degrees of freedom of the air bearing (not the details of bearing tolerance and pressure) and its placement relative... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @slaw: Regarding Mapleshade scale - as much as I like it's precision, it is always drifting slightly (besides the necessity to place the needle at exactly the same spot).Thinking about it, I dream about a solid 5kg linear low noise power supply to... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners - Regarding I-beam and weights: I often used BluTak to adjust or increase the counterweight mass to a certain degree and never felt it was compromising the sound in any way. I also form tiny balls of ca. 0.05g (or less) to precisely adjust the VTF... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners In the end it's only a question of the correct mounting distance of the central mounting screw. Everything else can be adjusted by rotating the base around the central mounting screw, although it might look "non straight"... ;-)Moderate arm length... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The challenges for an audiophile are manifold. | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... please, Nandric ;-)(sound of folding old knees, and downfall to earth following...) | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... I learned early in my audiophile times (ca. 1980) to really "fix these bolts and screws", to a degree - the idea in principle - just before deforming the material (which I never quite did).I had to unlearn that - first initiated by a systematic li... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Since this thread started I have been contacted by numerous people wanting to join this party, but they are too intimidated. This is the reflex thought that I heard often, but IMO the ET arm is not only very transparent sonically but also in its t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @slaw ...I realize that the platform it was on was the main culprit. In the meantime I decided to go other routes in which I’ve learned quite a lot from.The freedom of will is a crime these days, which is a joke in the context of our discussion...... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @slaw but you commit the continuous crime of not using the ET 2 for now.This is a crime onto your ears... ;-)I did the same for a certain time.And I admit the crime of not using my Thales Easy for the moment.Probably because I don't understand it.... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @chris:This is for SLAW and it is also for PEGASUS Jcarr and the ET2 VTACan you please explain why these two names in big letters?Did these two persons something wrong in your opinion? I don't hope so.I don't think that any sort of superior being... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Happy New Year to all!Hi Chris, this two remarks of yours are still open:Pegasus:Non changing VTF is a question of having the centre of gravity aligned with the vertical bearing when floating the arm. This is not an exclusive feature of the ET2 ar... |
