| Turnable database with TimeLine LewThe Beat appears to uses electromagnetic drag to "pre load" the motor. Moving the rotor back in phase relative to the rotating field. I am not sure about the other TTs mentioned. The theory being that this artificial torque demand is significan... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Yes the Goldmund used a JVC motor.Like, I suspect most DD designs, it is a synchronous motor. The rotor ( platter) is compelled to follow the rotating field, back slightly in phase.Provided the controller is properly adjusted, it will rotate at th... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Many years ago I owned a Goldmund Studio. In an attempt to improve it, I built a larger power supply. I scoped the supply output while playing a record. To my amazement I could see the supply output voltage being modulated by the music I was playi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman.I suspect that the check valve you refer to is actually a safety relief valve. And yes it could be the same thing that I am hearing.It may have an adjustment so you could, entirely at your own risk :-) increase its setting to see if the bl... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman and Slaw.You planted a seed when talking about the Montronix regulator and controlled air bleed.I have just teed off a 1/4" needle valve in between the compressor regulator and the second in line regulator.The tee is configured such that t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners HaroldMy music awakening happened when our school music teacher played us side one of Aqualung. She refused to play side two because it criticized the Church of England and had a bad word "balls"I remember being stunned upon first hearing this rec... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Harold-not-the barrel.Absolutely agree with your eloquent post. You did forget to mention Jethro Tull though :-)Although I have not met Chris, it is clear to us all that he is passionate in the extreme about his music and is a gentleman. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.Yes spring has sprung here. BBQ's, Boating, Fishing, and company with great friends watching long sunsets over a glass of wine. I suspect that it was the change in temperature that precipitated the o"ring failure.I am using a HP manifold at ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners My ET spring a leak, actually one of the o'rings failed. This necessitated disassembly. I took the opportunity to give it a spring clean and weigh it. Total weight excluding cartridge was 86 grams (95 grams with cartridge). I have on loan a standa... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners H F Dover.Still....relative to the groove.Everyone else understood what I meant. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.Hmmm. Haven't put any thought into the trough location for literally years. I put my design trough at the wand end to reduce any shake rattle and roll of the wand itself and by extension the cartridge. Since the key to performance of the tro... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners HF Dover.Compressor is a piston type, which one would think would produce a pulsating air flow. Certainly the piston type loaner they gave me failed the Chris T noise test. The difference this time around is as follows. I'm using two regulators in... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman."gas powered compressor with large storage tank"This is kinda what I'm using now. It is a small shop air compressor. oil less type. It pumps the tank up to 120psi and switches off. Switching on again at 80 psi. The output is fed thru two r... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Manitunc.Now you are just being greedy!Got to be fun, running all those arms.cheers. |
