| 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... | |

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... | |

There is no "plethora of oil slathered around" in my upgrade. Where it is applied, it is done so for sound, pun intended, reasons.There is NO oil applied to t... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Audiofun You raise a valid point in asking what my upgrade actually entails. Prospective customers need this information. You also accuse me of "straw man arguments", something I cannot let slide.Hopefully I can address both of your points at once... | |
