| 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. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners KetchupI should have added. The lack of the arc feature is not a big deal for me since I don't change carts often. Others who do, would find this feature helpful. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners KetchupNo it doesn't incorporate the arc on the VTA adjustmentI didn't have the machining technology to do this back thenI tune in the approx VTA then check alignment. Then final fine adjustment of VTA and recheck alignment again.The new arm will ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ChrisYes various magnets tried in..,...completely original ET2 , ET2 with fixed counterweight. My manifold with and without lead slug. All iterations also tried at wand and counterweight end. ( not both ends simultaneously )All tests done at 12 ps... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners There is a sound engineering reason to put any mag dampening to be at the wand end of the spindle. Since the mag tends to resist spindle movement, it acts as a pivot for any non axial spindle motionSince the cartridge is at the end of the wand and... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ChrisI initially used one fridge magnet then went to multiple fridge mags. Finally using Neodymium before abandoning the idea. I tried first at the counterweight end then transferred to the wand end. There are differences. Now the reasons for that... |
