| 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... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question I can't explain the reason for your problem, however I know and have experienced the same issue, as I'm sure countless others have here. It seems like you're describing the guage marketed by many but manufactured by one, which I won't name.My spec... | |
| VPI HW 16,5 vs. Okki Nokki If you only want to choose between these two, I can only recommend the 16.5 because that's what I use. Are you sure you want to limit yourself to these two choices only? How much time and effort are you willing to put into lp cleaning? What is you... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Just to say one more thing about listening to the Acutex... I'm enjoying listening more than I have in some time. The album sides seem to be over with before I know it. To me, this is probably due to the "ease of presentation" provided by this car... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris: Your comment about this hobby having alot to do with resonant behavior got me thinking of some reasons the Acutex may be more suitable with the ET. Setup at proper overhang, the armwand is slid (back) fairly far within it's adjustment range... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris: I fully agree with you. This was the easiest way to get the Acutex up and running. My cartidge clips aren't bendable so my thought is most likely either another wire loom or surgery to my present one. Not sure when I'll get around to it. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dave: I hear what your saying. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I'm a believer yeah yeah yeaaaaaah, I'm a believer! It's over 15 hours in on the Acutex. My excitement has me reporting back already. Right now, there are two areas my former Dyna set-up surpassed the Acutex. The silences or black background had a... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman: I had the exact same thing happen with my Airtech tank.Chris: I like to use lint free swabs for maintainence issues, from spindle/manifold/ to TT bearing cleaning.Also, I use Techspray isopropyl alcohol that's 99.9% pure. Evaporates much ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover: That's true, plus the 1/2 m cable I used.Frogman: Yes, I'm referring to the top of the mounting plate. After around 6 hours in, I'm noticing the soundstage being better integrated however sibilance has become an issue. Kind of spitty, or si... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hey guys, I've mounted my Acutex 420 and thought I'd send some intial impressions. I am having a couple issues with my current wire loom that's keeping me from an optimal set-up. So please keep this in mind regarding remarks I make on cartridge pe... | |
| Vinyl reissue labels to avoid? Simply Vinyl did good on Nick Drake IMO. |
