| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Manitunc.Sounds like you are going to build a shop air supply. Cool.Don't forget to earth the air lines close to the arm. Don't know if you would need 3 earth lines or just 1. Suspect 1 would be best.What pressure do the Wisas run into the arms?th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Manitunc.Thanks for that. I thought that you would want to keep it, but it was worth a shot.Cheers. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Second thoughts....nope. I only want the mag wand and the sleeve/spindle. All other parts would be discarded. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Manitunc.Hi, if you are interested in on selling the arm without the jig, I would be interested.please let me know.thanks Richard. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Lew The shielding on the L07d looks like galvanized steel sheet. I think that it improves with the addition of extra shielding because there are some gaps and that in this case more is better. Yes it does resemble a flying saucer in profile and is... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I currently have a L07d in a thousand pieces. It uses extensive complex shielding around the motors many parts. Quite necessary I think, since the coils are close to the upper platter surface and are oriented vertically, focusing their flux up and... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro.We are both blessed with having music rooms that have concrete floors sitting on mother earth. My definition of a plinth is likely a little wider than yours. To me it is.. "the structure that maintains accurate dimensional stability between... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro.You are using a plinth.It is the shelf upon which your TT sits via the spikes you are using.It would also seem logical that different shelf materials, size, shape, support method, spikes, et el would make a difference. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hi.The Gyro testing table had 6 cast iron legs. Five of them were height adjustable with wooden decoupling pads. The sixth leg had no adjustment and it directly coupled with the concrete floor. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Yes the concept works. I used it in my first Home built TT, back in the late 70's. The idea was borrowed from an ancient Gyro testing table I saw at Air NZ. It had adjustable feet with wooden pads connecting the floor and one fixed cast iron foot.... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Chris.Like your Alpha leg analogy. Actually, with the other two feet, we are trying to block energy transmission as much as possible although in practice I doubt that this can truly be done. The PVC feet are softer than the plinth and the shelf, a... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Another design philosophy that one might consider is to minimise the number of joins and material changes, hence transmission speeds, between the LP/platter interface, around the loop to the arm and cartridge/stylus. Empirically it would seem to m... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro.Part 2.The same reasoning would suggest that there should be only one path from the LP surface thru the chassis, shelf, to the tonearm and on to the stylus. Your present iteration has more.Thanks. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro.My TT uses one fixed duralium foot with a central tungsten carbide ball which contacts the shelf. This gives a point contact much like a spike. The other two feet are PVC discs 80mm in diameter with a rebate such that the circumference only... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hi.Typo in my last post. Please substitute the word "mechanical" for "electrical".Thanks |
