| Question on FR 66s Hi Rauls,Thanks for your comment! Would certainly make an effort to try out your suggestion to see if it makes any difference to me.Just to recap my phono progress since around the year 2000, when I got back into vinyl. I started with the Herron, ... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? Hi Csontos,Thanks for the comment!So, you are saying that soundstage height is not imbedded in the original recording, but only an artifact of room geometry and speaker placement?The interesting thing is that, if these are indeed artifacts, they a... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? Hi All,I have this related question and hope some knowledgeable members, especially Atmasphere, who do his own recordings, can share their views!It is relatively easy to understand why we can create soundstage width in our stereo system, as there ... | |
| Question on FR 66s you don't change when you don't learn: learning is a proccess that can gives you a new " vision/status I can see that you don't move from that old tube technology even in the worst place to have: phono stage I dont know about the others, but I ... | |
| Question on FR 66s Hi Raul,Yes, I agreed that there can be no discussion if one insists that he is always right, and any other who don't agree with him, wrong! BTW, as you have mentioned, you also liked the FR66/64 once in the past! So, if we had followed your advic... | |
| Question on FR 66s So we had to reject those measurements other than the traditional ones that serve almost for nothing ___________________________________________________________Hi Raul,Thanks for the detailed description of you experience! However, it seems, in t... | |
| Question on FR 66s Hi Raul,First, I have to admit that I have a FR64S and I do like it very much. If that means I like high distortion, so be it! But that is not the main point of my post!You have mentioned all this distortion caused by the design of the FR, so I am... | |
| Question on FR 66s Hi Pani, I have both the FR64S and the FR64fx, and in my experience the s is much better. No matter what I did, the fx just sounded boring compared to the s ! | |
| Question on FR 66s Hi Suteetat,I also have an SX777 Air, and have once put in the FR64S with great result! I am interested at your mentioning of an armboard for the FR66s. If I understand correctly, you can only fit 9"-10" arms on the 777! Actually, not long ago, I ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,Regarding the modified ET you posted, I believe it was made by a guy in China. I read an article probably 7-8 years ago, in which he detailed the process of the modification. Unfortunately I couldn't find that article anymore, but it was ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Dover, Thanks for the explanation, will certainly try all different set ups and see the difference myself! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners As we have been discussing the pros and cons of the decoupled counterweight on the ET, I have this question on my mind (admittedly a non-technical one) for a long time!The ET uses leaf springs to decouple the counterweight so the arm doesn’t “see”... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Loosen the end cap bolt (not the leaf spring bolt we have been discussing) just enough to lower the lead weights, so that they are positioned at the bottom half of the spindle; when looking at the arm from the gooseneck side. Hi Ct,In all the pho... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Hi Mosin,I, for one, would be very interested to have a truly high-end controller for my belt drive turntables!But then, do you have an estimation on the cost? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Richard,I will be using the ET2.5 in my test. My ET started out as a 2, which I later added the 2.5 bearing from Bruce.I was asking whether replacing the lead counterweight with something else (brass/bronze ?), while still using the decoupled I... |
