| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ET air pressure:I've experimented again. I understand other perspectives' (17 psi) , however, in my system ( and I do believe this is system dependant), very slightly under 19 psi is the desired pressure. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris... I still use the ET supplied fluid. Your observation on mood influencing what you hear I think has some validity. When listening to brand new Lps, what I hear the first time doesn't always equal to what I hear the second time. I believe th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners OK, I did some experimenting today with my set-up. First I removed quite a bit of damping fluid. I heard more information coming through (air, ambient info, detail) and found that I needed to raise VTA somewhat, but things were sounding somewhat d... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman..Good point on the wall mount, I usually check the TT level often for that very reason.Ketchup.. Thanks for the tip on shim stock.With regards to the damping trough... if the best results come from the paddle lightly touching the fluid, wo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman... this was just a humorous ( I guess to me only ) attempt at linking the use of Balsa wood in audio applications. Vandersteen uses it in his driver cones on the model 7 with carbon fiber. I believe I have read that he has aeronautical tra... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Another important factor as far as my limited experience is concerned (with regards in making your own tonearm wire), the cartridge ends, (the ones I used are great!), they are extremely solid(silver,of coarse), with a hole made for the exit of an... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman... as a funny antidote... are you any kin to R. Vandersteen? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ..... I posted my "virtual system" only for the sole purpose of sharing my tonearm wire/routing set-up. I thought it could be useful for others....... Admittedly, I could have done a better job.This (ET) thread was that important to me. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I wanted to back up here a bit in regards to my system and my viewpoints. I realize that my system is not as revealing as most of yours are, but my comments are from my system's perspective. (I've owned my arm for over 20 years, just in the past y... | |
| LP that you most hope didn't fly under the radar Yes, I've heard very little here about this band. I always appreciate it when I discover music by way of other's recommendations. | |
| Female Jazz Singers...new person/new releases... Try Pandora | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup,I thank Chris for putting me on to this. Adding some more weight onto the bolt so the weights can therefore be moved in closer to the spindle. ( It doesn't take much, I used the smallest brass weight provided with the tonearm and tightened... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I recently took advantage of the .5 upgrade I had Bruce perform years ago by adding a compressor, and like Chris am running 19 psi. The results were eye-opening. I also made a DIY cable and am using my own routing scheme that has taken all of the ... | |
| Recordings with BASS Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter" | |
