| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover The fact that it takes considerably more force to accelerate a heavy arm sideways is self evident. What I have constantly said is that this force will not be enough to deflect the cantilever while tracing an eccentric record, provided the re... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover.If the cartridge does not have a (damped) spring inside, please explain to us what causes the cantiliver to return to its rest position. My discourse on resonant frequency IS the whole point, since the resonant frequency is set by the horizi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ThekongWe look forward to reading your comments. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ThekongI don't know how long patents last, but would suggest the reason that Lloyd does not decouple the counterweight is simple. It sounds better. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover.You need to research the difference between the two air bearing types. The Kuzma is unusual in its choice of bearing construction. So how am I wrong in my statement that the use of porous material appears to be unique? This in no way detract... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I have been researching possible bearings for a new Arm and I came across the Kuzma web site and the Airline Arm. This appears to be unique in using a porous material rather than multiple drilled holes like the ET. It also has a sliding sleeve ins... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ChrisYes when you talk to Dover and I you are conversing with the future.I agree with you. Clean power and I think that we should not underestimate the effect of our own state of mind. I think that every professional reviewer should prefix their r... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman.I enjoyed your post, thankyou. How much blutac did you add to the headshell? By way of comparison I have added a net 0.77gm to the headshell of the ET2. (Lead in, teflon out.) Not a lot of extra weight. On damping... If it is not meant to ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover As you said we will never agree on this. The difference is that I have tried both light and heavy ETs. As far as I can tell, I am the only one who has done that. If so, I am the only person here who can speak with any authority on the subjec... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover please re read my opening sentence."I have finished testing Dover's mag configuration on my modified ET2"This clearly states that my ET is modified as anyone reading this thread recently would know. My testing was done in that context. That ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I have finished testing Dover's mag configuration on my modified ET2, along with individual mags independantly at either end. This has been the most extensive test I have done with magnets, spanning 3 nights of listening. The results were consiste... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.Shagging is something done here in NZ between consenting adults. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ChrisYes happy to try this mag dampening variation. One more time around the block will do no harm. It will be awhile though as I am still dialing in my remodeled room and new shelter cart. The system is a bit of a moving target at the mo. Thanks | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners DoverAdding mass to the spindle helps to stabilize it. To repeat, for a given resonant system, extra mass lowers the resonant frequency and reduces the amplitude of this resonance. This is F=ma again. Force the same, Mass up, means acceleration mu... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners KetchupYes agree, I would use a rotary table which we now have. But is it really a big deal if you don't change carts often. Critical in any design would be rigidity once set. |
