| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @pegasus I agree, there is likely to be a small reduction in air pressure entering the capillaries due deltaP across the wool and filter paper. Easily sorted by increasing the input pressure slightly. The arm can be operated with and without the... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @pegasus. The bearing tower/manifold is in the concept phase at present.Some features are almost locked in.....> The air feed into the manifold will be like a flattened funnel to slow the airs velocity before it gets to the bearing sleeve. The ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @Chris In my younger days, I did a lot of slalom waterskiing. The sensation is indeed addictive!And your analogy fits the Trans Fi well.I have a revised ET tower on the drawing board. It will probably be made out of Zinc and correct some of the m... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @pegasus What I didn't say, racing to catch a plane.Would need to mount the goose neck upside down and likely drill and tap a new wand clamp thread in the adapter on the other side.My guess is that this would sort the VTA adjustment.cheers | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @pegasus As always your posts are insightful.re the vertical bearing axis, as set up on the ET. Do you see any reason why this could not be lifted to 20-30 degrees? (Warp issues aside.)This assuming there is enough travel in the vertical slide. I ... | |
| Technics SP-10MK3 Turntable and JP Jones Replacement Chip for MN6042 This is, of course, brilliant news.In the past there has always been that little bit of worry eating away at the enjoyment of owning a MK3. "What happens if/when the chip fails?"No more. JP has saved us from this angst and improved on the TT's per... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond HalcroIt's late, a long day and I have an early flight to your country. I assume that it is hot?Compliance measured in um/mNI think I have the units right? Please excuse me if I haven't.Anyway.... So for a given force we have a measured deflectio... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond HalcroLow compliance carts are stiffer, so it takes more effort to deflect the suspension when playing a record.More energy in that has to be controlled by the arm. Cheers | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Flieb. Yes I was talking about movement at the stylus end and I'm pretty sure that this is what Halcro meant as well. There is the very real risk of us all talking past each other here. To rephrase my original question to Halcro. Why would a MM c... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Raulyes, yes of course. I was not and Halcro was not talking about individual carts armsWe were talking about different families of carts, MM and MCFurther, I did not use the word "Exactly"cheers | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Because if the movement of the cantilever (at the stylus end) is not the same, then the stylus is not following the groove or the cartridge body is moving in anti phase Both very bad things indeed. Yeah, you can go into groove wall deflection due... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Sampsa 55The tail wagging the dog.... Agree: That is where I was heading with the effective mass compatibility question.Ideally the amplitude should be the same regardless of cartridge family. If it isn't, there is likely a miss match with eff mas... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Halcromaybe the reason is down to incompatable effective mass of the arm cart combo? | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond HalcroWouldn't the amplitude (movement) of the cantilever be the same for both families of cartridge?Maybe the observed differences have another explanation?cheers | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ok I'll take the bait.Way back in this thread, I posted a resonance transmissibility graph.interpreted correctly it tells us a great deal about how the ET2 responds to various stimuli.For example it tells us how brilliant BTs design is in controll... |
