| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Ct, I am using the Apogee Fullrange, so should be able to tell the bass difference between the different setup. However, I will need to order the extra left springs from Bruce.As I got my original ET2 secondhand, I am missing the lead counter w... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Ct, During the testing phase, my ET2.5 will be set up with a ClearAudio Sigma. When the final comparison comes, I will be using the Ortofon A90 between the Rockport and the ET. I am using 15psi for the moment with a compressor together with its... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Richard,Thank you for the suggestion! As this is only for experimenting, it is a bit rough. Would certainly take your suggestion into consideration if I decide I like this arrangement and fabricate the final counterweight assembly! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct,Here is a photo taken by my friend recently, not very clear, but you can have a general idea of my ET counterweight assembly, with a threaded rod for the weight.http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a500/der_yeti/IMG_1567.jpg | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Could the tubing being in a loop at the centre of the Rockport and Kuzma arm, be acting as a type of dampener for the arms motion in both directions ?Hi Ct,I think the tubing is just a necessary evil in the Rockport / Kuzma design. As for whether ... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners What about that stiff plastic tubing on the Kuzma? It seems like it would have a huge effect on the arm's movement even if both of the fittings swiveled. Does anyone know any details about the tube's fittings or if it hinders the arm's movement? ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Ct0517,Yes, that Rockport Capella II is still my main turntable. When ready, the ET2.5 will be set on the brass armboard opposite to the Rockport 6000. Actually, you can see a bit of the ET at the left edge of that photo already, just that the ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners It sounds better Hi Richard, I am no engineer, so has absolute no idea about the physics behind it. However, as Lloyd didn't use the decoupled counterweight (which is not hard nor costly to implement), I also believe it probably sounds better tha... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The Kuzma is unusual in its choice of bearing construction………… the use of porous material appears to be unique? In his review on the Kuzma Airline, Michael Fremer also mentioned that the Airline use porous material in the airbearing, while the ol... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable I very much agree with Lewm on the subject. While it was mentioned time after time what a giant killer the Salvation/Terminator combo was, there was not much direct comparison with other TTs other than the Orbe/SMEV.While not a bad combo, the Orbe... | |
| Aesthetix eclipse upgrade from 1PS to 2 PS Hi Chris,I am not sure whether the blacker background was due to the Eclispe upgrade or the 2 PS, but the improvement was quite obvious. I am also interested in the Io Eclipse with 2 PS, but unfortunately the Hong Kong agent cannot set up an audit... | |
| Aesthetix eclipse upgrade from 1PS to 2 PS Hi ChrisI can't answer your question fully, as I upgraded from a 1 PS Callisto Sig to an all new 2 PS Eclipse. The Eclipse has a much blacker background, bigger sound stage, more dynamic and bass with ease, and a more refine and liquid (less grain... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Rockport Sirius IIIThe American Altar, but the Arm wire inside is so stiff that the Arm can not track the inner 3 tracks properly, it skips, the only way out is to use a very heavy cartridge, .. I can promise you that is not the case! As mention... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable I tend to agree with Lewms point regarding the slightly added distortion may sometimes be preferred by the audience.I can share my experience on that. When I was using a relatively smaller speaker, I got pretty good bass with all the excitement c... |
