| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello all,Been away for a while. Spring has arrived in Western Carolina and my mini farm has been demanding attention.John,I don't know what Calypsos and Callistos are so I guess I don't have either. Enlighten me. I agree, with my Delos level a... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John,I think my humor didn't come through in the printed word. I agree, half the fun would be gone without these options. But it's also fun to complain to guys who know what you're talking about. Cheers,Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hmmm, options for audiophiles. Let me see now - Lighter weights all the way out or heavier weights closer in? Tweak VTA a little up or a little down? Nudge the sub woofer volume a little up or a little down? How about the crossover point of tha... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John & Chris,Yes, certainly, I'm using my ears. I'm using the stock ET II wiring to a phono block and 1 ft of pure silver, uninsulated interconnect from the phono block to preamp. I don't know the capacitance of the wire. Sound is, however,... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Nope, it didn't take a couple days. With the 100 ohm load I lost the impact of hammers on piano strings and fingers on strings of upright bass. I'm back to straight in at 47k Ohm and not hearing anything I don't like. At least nothing a Lyra At... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Sure John,You talk me into trying 100 ohm load then go buy a new preamp. :)Sounds like you have a winner. I tried the 100 ohm load. ( I surprised myself with nice clean solders.) The difference is subtle. Midrange seems a tad smoother and rou... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John,Tried to go to The Bluebird for lunch not realizing they were only open for dinner. By then it was too late for reservations. Good luck with the new preamp. Let me know how it works out. I've never used a SUT either.Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello all,Been away for a few days. Drove over to Nashville for a long weekend of live music. The venues were pretty terrific and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to listen to my system when I got home. Not so. Turned on the system, warmed up t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello all,Had recent email exchange with Bruce. Told him rumor was he was considering a run of long I beams and if he was to please put me down for one. He said he was thinking about it. Maybe a little encouragement from us would help?Re cartri... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John,Tried to contact Convergent Audio Technology without success. All you get is a recorded mesage telling you their business hours. They build great products but are very customer unfriendly. So I'm getting brave. Ordered some nice looking R... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks again frogman,I'll be interested to hear whether the double arm board performs better than the single with spacers. I'm going to try it first w/o the damping. I understand the two boards will not mate perfectly across their entire surface... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Good evening,Follow up report. While I will not claim to have become an ET expert, after about two months of tweaking and upgrading I can offer some suggestions on listening to your tweaks.1. For those of us who use subwoofers, the tuning of you... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I hear you. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John,No offense taken. I don't consider any suggestions meddsome on this thread. I very much appreciate the suggestions. Think I'll noodle around the Internet to see if I can find some loading plugs.............................................s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Well, my CAT preamp has RCA inputs into which I can plug loads to change the loading but the only loads I have are 40 and 80 ohms. I've tried them both and found them to roll of the highs a bit much for me. But, then, there is my hearing loss in... |
