| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris."great crazy hobby this is. We are running two very different......"Yes but isn't diversity the spice of life!My pre is my own, all tube design, well actually my own unique combination of known gain blocks with some interesting P/S features.... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.The config was not quite as you wrote.In both iterations I used two regulators. The one in the compressor and a separate stand alone Norgren model.Basically I slid the second regulator along a 43 foot length of clear soft PVC tube to positio... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners OkSince I cooked dinner tonite, I got a leave pass afterwards...,Have just finished trying the second regulator close to the arm.There was just 3 feet of tube between it and the arm, the original configuration having 40 feet of tube. I adjusted th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.Even if you use a joiner, you will still be removing one regulator from the air circuit so it will not be a true AB test.Yep agree, measurements only take you so far.We don't listen to numbers. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.You have now given us all another area to pine over. Humidity.....thanks a lot! :-)I don't think that your test is quite representative of what I was suggesting, since you are disabling one regulator but leaving its body in circuit. If their... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners My thinking on why pressure irregularities have such a large effect is this. It is to do with the way the air enters the bearing manifold. This thru a small single hole. It then circulates around the sleeve and enters the 14, from memory, threaded... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover Below is a copy of a mail I received from Bruce T many months ago. You might find it enlightening reading. "Richard, The resonance of the air cavity is over 500Khz and does not manifest itself on the surface of the bearing, it is a well damp... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The motivation for putting a soft tube between the two regulators was the finding that a small amount of bleed off between the regulators had a positive effect. This implied that the air pressure was not constant between the regulators. Or for tha... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Further to the quality of the air supply.My current air rig is.. Compressor with storage tank and built in regulator.. 4 feet of 1/4" tube, tee to bleed off needle valve and second regulator with filter/water trap.. 40 feet, soft clear PVC 1/4 " t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners FrogmanI enjoyed the tracks very much.Thank you! | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? In deference to the hard working manufacturers who labour to bring to this boutique market, interesting and innovative products, I would not presume to voice an opinion unless I was sure and up to date with my findings. The signature sound of the ... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Sjy425Perhaps I can help with the Ultra 5 question.I have been using these as a reference for awhile now. I has access to a machine shop, so have been trying to make something that approaches their performance. As you say they are pretty expensive... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw.Fear not your are not alone!Way back in this thread, I think, I talked about the connection with music being the key. The way it makes us "FEEL"I also talk about this on my web site. A system is just a collection of machines, sometimes this m... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? DoverSlick 50? Never. I use Motul as you well know.Surely others are growing tired of this hijacking of Audiofun's thread, but I will add one point.My upgrade works on the motor itself and its immediate surrounds.No plinth or controller / PS in th... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? DoverThe glue that has broken down on random units is the original glue used by technics. As a precaution, if the glue shows any sign of deterioration it is repaired. I suspect that there are many MK2 motors out there with this problem and their o... |
