| Acrylic platter Nandric.My two cents worth on this subject.I run a heavily modified SP10 MK3 and have replaced the platter completely with an acrylic one with lead sheet insert and duralium magnet motor housing, to bring the weight back up to 10 kg. I personally ... | |
| To ring or not to ring? LewmCan you share with us what you hear when the ring is used as intended?Thanks | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.Yes the glass arm was special. I used magnesium from a broken aeroplane wheel hub to mill the headshell. Slotted mounting holes to facilitate correct cartridge alignment. I have one of the slate TT's somewhere in storage in the attic. Will s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.My trash bin....Too many years ago to count, I went about building 5 off BD TTs in quick succession. The platter was aluminium, bearing had a tungsten carbide thrust plate with replacable steel ball on the shaft. All five were of the same de... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Yes, some interesting materials and ideas being used in platters these days. Isn't VPI also making a ceramic one?Then the Clearaudio, in their Statement and Basis are using plastics. Take your pick. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw.It will be intersting to read about your TT project. Re the arm pod and pillar, perhaps I have missunderstood? If the arm pod has three adjustable feet it would be possible to replicate the effect of the three feet currently used by Bruce in ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover. Please contact me via my website. There, I can answer your questions and any others you may have in detail. Thank you for your interest in the upgrade. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.When Bruce machines the wand, I assume that this is what happens...The bore thing is basically drilling a hole to create the ID dimension. Sometimes the drill is rotated, some times the work piece (bar) is rotated. It depends upon the machin... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ChrisGood to read about the mag wands performance. Thanks for giving us a clear view on what it does. Also impressive engineering all over again from Bruce. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners In order to maintain standards and ensure authenticity, I have initiated the use of identification labels on my upgrade. Going forward, only TTs that meet these standards will be shipped with this authentication. Every TT done by Bill meets these ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners DoverCorrection, you have not heard the full krebs upgrade.Two people in NZ have.Please confine your comments in posts to those that are actually true. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.Quite a few of my customers use after market metal mats. SS and CU.This adds considerably to the moment of inertia of the platter, but none have had any problems that I am aware of.My own custom platter is the same weight but a slightly high... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.That is one serious looking wand.Have you tried it yet? How does it perform compared to the AL version?Thanks | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris and Slaw. This whole geomerty thing is interesting.This is how I understand it...if we set up a curved pillar in Slaw's "neutral zone" for a given record thickness, the arm will land the stylus at the same point on the LP for a range of VTA'... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners SlawYes the arm has considerable vta adjustment but it cannot easily be done while playing. Chris's post clearly shows the importance of correct vta.This adjustment on the standard ET2 with the curved pillar is a brilliant design feature and one t... |
