| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners - ct0517: It's interesting what you quote about the wire loom. While radial tonearms have the advantage of leverage on the point where the wire exits the tonearm tube and enters the base (tube), the distance is short, and the wires are somehow unc... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi all - interesting bits & pieces!Ct0517: interesting to hear more from internal design parameters of Bruces bearings. Some time I'll make photographs of my wiring etc.Dover: The wire experiences are very interesting, as they are real finding... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard Yes i have two twisted silver wires running left and right of the tonearm. They are mounted to the tube via three very small pieces of double sided adhesive foam strips, to hold the wires and prevent them from touching the metal arm tube. ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks Ct0517 & BdP! I am wondering that the conceptually very similar London air bearing arm was "built for London" cartridges... (based on the Cartridge Mans's Conductor arm) - it must have functionally similar unscreened wiring, at least th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks Ct0517 & BdP! I am wondering that the conceptually very similar London air bearing arm (based on the Cartridge Mans's Conductor arm), with similar wiring, and at least these four "naked" unscreened (or five!) wires without screen for ab... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks a lot Frogman! The wiring is an issue for sure, but the EM-field situation is actually the cause, and the noise is the symptom. And the ET2 / wiring / Decca system seems to be very sensitive. What turntable do you use, and how close are oth... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi ye all! Did anybody ever try a Decca in the ET2.5 (or ET2 arm)?I once did with an ET one and was not blown away - it didn't quite fit, but this was with a rel. light subchassis turntable, which acerbates several problematic aspects: High horizo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Regarding your photograph, Frogman...A real audiophile is one who looks first at the turntable and tonearm in the background. I - almost - did. :-) | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw, could you tell me which of my post you find offending and maybe why? I have no problem with disagreement. But I know sometimes my tiredness of repeated misinformation pushes me for words that fit my feelings. :-/ | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris, BTW the pressurized air bottle is true. :-)I forgot to answer an earlier question of yours: I prefer to use less counterweights farther out on the I-beam. I prefer it because this way the center of gravity of the arm is more centered alo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris (?) the compressed air bottle is a 200 atmospheres 60 liter steel tank. It provides "air DC" (to my arm & head) :-)Wires: the Audio Consulting wires are twisted single strand 0.15mm silver wires with thin isolation. I dress them caref... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Addendum: The VTA adjustment mechanism of my ET2 introduces slight (but IMO much too much) lateral imbalances when changing VTA. I assume Ct0517 will tell me that my VTA mechanism has a problem - but it was never overtightened or any thing like th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman: If I'd live in NY or the states I'd shurely ask you for lessons on my clarinet(s). It would be fun tweaking my fingers tangentially to the holes with your help and having them (the holes) optimized by tweaking the diameters... :-).Dover: ... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over After reading half of the earlier thread on linear vs. pivoted arms (and being annoyed by the reiteration of wrong and mixed up technical arguments) I want to chime in with some notes.- "stress" on the cantilever (by linear arms): If you want no d... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Interesting “facts discussion” about linear vs. radial tonearms, most have probably read it:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1266367593&openfrom&1&4&&st100 Sadly mostly boring (ie. repeated, but skewed argument... |
