| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners One other thing, It's my understanding that the insulation on the AN wire serves as it's own flux, therefore negating it's prior removal. Is this correct? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners All of the tips are greatly appreciated. Tinning both the wire and clips sounds logical. I've finally decided on armborad materials and will probably start that project first because of the familiar sound of my system at this point.Frogman: In dre... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks guys! I am not confident at all when it comes to soldering these little tonearm wires to heavier gauge clips. I just received my AN wire... boy is it skinny! The great part about it is, it is extremely flexible, which will ultimately be a p... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Nandric: I took the plunge and ordered the Clearaudio. On Take Five Audio's site, they looked to be short enough to work well. Thanks for the tip for EBay.UK, which is where I ordered. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Nandric: I thought of the Cardas deluxe, ( I assume you are referring to the ones with the spring retainers). I'm not sure of how they will work in my particular situation. Thanks for your input. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Another point of possible resonance, to me.... As I've mentioned, I'm thinking of working on my current wire loom and will be building a new one also. The choice of cartridge clips is one of my concerns. I know that the Cardas are widely used and ... | |
| any success with "Vinyl flat" and warped records I love mine. If your bag is working properly there may be the issue of different vinyl formulations and/or time 'in the bag' at work here.Example: My original Janis Ian "Between The Lines" had a somewhat mild warp but along with that it was just u... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners To anyone that has or is using the ET with a VPI acrylic armboard... Have you tried using it with and without the aluminum spacer that ET provides? If so, what were your impressions? I personally have only tried it with the spacer, but now wonder ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris: I think I see what you are saying. For clarification, I have two wall shelves, one supporting the motor and the other supporting the tt, phono stage and SDS. These are both connected to the same wall which has a huge effect on the sound, I ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris: I think I oversimplified my response to this now, I appologize.Dgarretson: I looked again at your "egg beater" wire loom. Very interesting and "smart" execution. Question, Do the two 'outer strands' of your egg beater design, need to be sli... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris: I am referring to 'plinth' as does VPI when describing their tt designs, and as far as I know, most TT manufacturerers do. I have to say, the wiki link you provided seems to confirm the intent I initially meant. The plinth in my TT is 'the'... | |
| TT Weight Outer Ring vs VPI Ring Actusreus: I have no experience with either product. I've just followed them with great interest. My thinking is that TTWs produced their initial products from copper because they felt it was the better material, although harder to machine. I assu... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris: I am in total agreement concerning the sonic gains you must be getting in having the armboard separate from the plinth. If my room were larger, I'd try the same thing. I do however have some new thoughts in mind for a new armboard (replacin... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hey Guys, I've been quietly thinking of the next step in regards to my set-up with the Acutex. I've had several thoughts on it after re-reading your posts and thinking of how to better dress a wire loom. I still like my over the spindle option but... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The weekends... I got it!I have around 21 hours on the Acutex. Still loving it. I'm becoming one with this transducer and therefore am more aware of what's going on now, that it's becoming of age.Starting to get slightly annoying in the mid to upp... |
