| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Listen to those digital recordings and through the time ( working on system up dates. ) as you " accept " in better way ( enjoying really. ) what you are listening as better is your system quality performance and for sure your enjoyment to analog... | |
| Pass Labs XVR-1 crossover I have also used the XVR-1 for a few years, first with a pair of Apogee Duetta Sig., and now with the Apogee Fullrange! I am very satisfied with its performance, which compared very favorably with my previous Bryston 10B and Accuphase 15L!One very... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thank you all for the detailed explanation! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Halcro,Thanks for the information again! As I can’t use wall mount in my room, I have never experience its effectiveness!My room has suspended concrete floor. According to the specification, the pneumatic table could isolate up to 85-90% of the... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners These stresses result in subsonic low-frequency Structure-Borne feedback which passes easily into equipment racks, support stands and into the turntable plinths sitting upon these racks/stands.Hi Halcro,Thanks for the information! So, any idea wh... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners TEST FOR STRUCTURE FEEDBACK ……. Start jumping up and down right beside your TT…….Hi Ct, The most extremely test of this sort that I have seen was that, while following your initial settings, instead of jumping around the TT, you kick on its stand... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Oh, it just dawn on me, could the "less smooth" of the Rockport bearing cause by the flex of tiny airhost? If it is, then the airhost actually provide considerable "damping"! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Rugyboogie, Can the moving assembly on the Airline be taken out easily? If it can, and it is not too much trouble, I would really appreciate if you could weight it to confirm whether it is really only around 100g.Hi Ct,Yes, I still don't unders... | |
| Question on FR 66s Since we are talking about alignments, I would appreciate to get some answers from knowledgeable members here.As I understand, there are 3 popular alignment curves, i.e. Baerwald, Löfgren, and Stevenson, and these curves aimed to minimize tracking... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I have measured the weight of the Rockport 6000 in the weekend, and to my surprise, the whole moving assembly weighted in at 90g (including the A90 at 8g, and a spacer at 2.5g). I am using the lightest counterweight out of the 4, and the heaviest ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Richard,Yes, the 6000, and all other Rockport arms, has damping trough. The “paddle” is fixed, so unlike the Walker, you have to adjust the amount of damping oil you put in!However, I and a couple of my friends who had the 6000, prefer it witho... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct,You have sharp eyes, yes the owner of that Sirius III was complaining on Audiogon that the arm couldn’t track more than 3 cuts into the LP. There are actually 2 black hosts in that photo, one for the air, and one for the signal wire. I believe ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The 6000's relatively low vertical effective mass put its resonant frequency above the ideal 8-12Hz region with moving-coil cartridges of average weight and typically low compliance, causing the bass to begin rolling off prematurely. Andy Payor s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Andy Payor and Bruce Thigpen both disagree with adding mass. Hi Dover,Regarding the passage you quoted Andy Payor from Michael Fremer’s review on the Rockport 6000, while I have never read that review, but reading MF’s later reviews on the Rockpo... |
