| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Maths and Physics.StiffnessMany years ago I remember reading an audio magazine which tested the rigidity of the ET2 bearing. It may have been Martin Colloms, but I can't be sure. This was done, again from memory, where accelerometrs were used and ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Maths and Physics.A few days back I wrote that the res freq of the arm was proportional to the square root of the inverse of the mass and stated that there was a discrepency in the ET2/2.5 comparitive figures that Chris had posted. This because th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,This is strange.For the example BT uses in the manual, pages 48 and 49. The res freq for the ET2 with a 30cu cart we get around 4.7 hz.For the ET2.5, assuming it is only 9 gms heavier the res freq with the same cart would drop to around 4.2 ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Lets look at things again.I am officially retracting my retraction to Thekong regarding the ET2.5. Here is why.When I realised my obvious mistake in thinking he was going to place a rigid CW arm on an ET2, when in fact he was proposing to use one ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Double posts and thread ghosts of the past. How does that happen?Chris.It is good to see that analogue gear is holding its price. Maybe the current trend of interest will continue. My sons and their friends are keen to spin records. A welcome chan... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman.20 years! It gets scary when you start thinking back doesn't it?I also have a continuous run to the pre but put it inside purely for cosmetic reasons. My thoughts would be to route it such that it stands off from the wand a little. In theo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup and Frogman.Thanks for the pics.Can either of you describe the changes with the wire outside. I would expect a more lively, detailed, precise presentation. Seeing the manifold like that reminded me of the shim/grub screw set up. Has any on... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman.Excellent! You have inspired me to do this with mine.Thanks for the feedback. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi, I hope that you all had a great Easter break with Family and Friends.Chris. I don't have any first hand experience with arm pods. They tend to go against the grain so to speak, in the quest for absolute dimensional stability between platter an... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover.To address the points raised.Scaremongering. This comment was posted in response to your claim that the weight of my arm was sufficient to cause damage to cartridges. You actively warned others against adding mass because of this belief. Dur... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover.:Yes the outcomes are entirely different if the counterweight is fixed....so.:We have established that it will not be the end of the world for the cartridge if the horizontal mass is increased, this by reference to other arms that are heavy.... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners My view on a stereo system is that it is just a machine. Actually lots of machines chained together to give an output based on inputs. As such it is logical and the output is predictable provided we have sufficient understanding of the machine. ( ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover.....Sigh.....My comment re "All or nothing" was designed to open useful dialog on the subject. I was trying to be subtle.So now, not so subtle..Do you really think that it is a good idea to have a spring driven mass, ( cartridge and arm ) at... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ChrisI tune the arm with a set of different size weights. Don't know if manufactures of linear arms with fixed weight beams offer this, but it would make sense to do so.Kuzma do suggest that their arm is most suitable for use with carts below a ce... |
