| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners SlawIn my experience using solid lead never over damps the structure provided it is adhered to the structure with a glue that is of equal or higher hardness than the structure. Do not use glues like Ados!Using lead in this way actually increases t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw.Many thanks for sharing the info on your compressor set up. Most interesting. Also good luck with your TT project. Just a comment on the idea of using lead shot. I have had mixed results using shot. Both in loose form and epoxy glued. In some... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw.Taking a look at your systems page, I see a nice compressor setup with aux receiver. A few questions please...What is the total volume of the two receivers? You get impressive cycle off time, more than a typical LP side, which has to be a goo... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Chris74.Thanks for the expansion of details on your SP10MK2 platter. Further, I agree on the robust nature of the bearing assembly. Both it and the MK3 are substantial indeed.Geoff.I see two main structural paths in a TT... One from the record upp... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Gentlepeople.I'm with Lewm. "What is missing is an objective way of assessing platter performance that is truly meaningful"There are so many different approaches out there and a bunch of them perform brilliantly, yet often they contradict each oth... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup.I too use your method.If you backlight the spindle, it is possible to get a very accurate indication of when the platter and spindle are parallel. This, since you can adjust the arm such that the light evenly breaks through the gap.Cheers. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover.For the sake of brevity I left the word "vertical" of the tracking angle. Pretty sure that this adjustment is applicable to a linear arm. My point was...if the spindle is NOT parallel with the platter, the VTA will change as the arm moves ac... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners BigaltWouldnt your process potentially take the spindle out of parallel with the record surface? This would mean that the tracking angle would change as the cartridge traverses the record.Not a good thing. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Banquo363.Brilliant.Many thanks for the info. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Banquo363.Nice "bad boy"What is the noise level like on this?Could you say, house it in a room adjacent to the listening space?Many thanks | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dover.Please read my post again.I did not say that one should make an I beam with stacked ply. Ply AND "I" beams use a similar technique to separate the outer layers where any bending causes compression in one layer and tension in the other.Why ar... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Jmowbray.More information on the upgrade is available on my web site. The procedure is now available for the SL-1200 series. Please PM me or contact me via my Krebsupgrade web site for a detailed description. cheers. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dover.The essence of an I beam and ply is the separation of the two outer layers (sheets). Any bending causes compression of one sheet and tension in the other. This increases the stiffness of the structure. As I said earlier. It is a 25 year old ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dover.The figure I used for Aluminium is a generic number we use for calcs here. If we want to be more precise we take into account the method of forming the material and of course the specific alloy. I did say "around 0.04mm" The point I was maki... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib.I think that we have done this subject to death. Let's agree to differ and move on to some other topic?BTW, apologies for misspelling your moniker. Big fingers, small keyboard. Cheers. |
