| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,Your suggestion about resetting height for thickest and thinnest records won't work for me because I already have the manifold up as high as it will go. No room left for up adjustment of manifold height.You are correct, Bruce is sending me ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John,Didn't mean to blow off your suggestion of thicker arm board. It is my preferred solution. I'm going to keep my eyes open for one. Failing that, next time I am feeling masochIstic I'll tear down the table and take my arm board to my local ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Following up. I emailed Bruce. He thought the longer leveling spikes were the best solution and is sending me some. Thanks again for all your suggestions. I will report results even though all you guys have long ago blown by my lowly HW 19.🙄Har... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Great responses. Thanks to everyone. I have the HW 19 MK IV which utilized a black acrylic arm board with the metal sub-plinth. Plinth and arm board are the same thickness. I also have what I think was the original TNT platter (black, lead fil... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello all,With further fine tuning I'm running into the same VTA issue with the new mag arm wand. I have the original goose neck. I can get the Delos level only using the top hole in the goose neck with the manifold at its highest and VTA almost... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello Chris,Good audiophile day here in the Carolinas. Crisis over. I tore down the VPI to more closely inspect the shaft and pulley on the SAMA. My SAMA is a very early version which included a small flywheel. It is like a very fat stainless s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris & Everyone,Will respond to Chris and his subwoofer discussion later. Right now I have a crisis. While listening tonight I was hearing dreaded rumble in quiet passages. Upon investigation I discovered the shaft on my stand alone motor ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi John,I had same question but was too embarrassed to ask.Thanks,Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I'm with you. I was flattered to hear I test for best phase adjustment like you do. Hand on sub driver while listening to bass passages. I know that below a certain frequency (probably 60 to 75 hz) sound is almost directionless. Well, the soun... | |
| Broken cantilever Both Needle Clinic and Soundsmith do these repairs. Be aware, however, your cartridge may or may not sound the same with a different cantilever. Some swear by this service and believe the replacement improved their cartridge. Others, not so mu... | |
| Cartridge retip stylus options/Opinions please Guess I wasn't all that clear or perhaps I just assumed anyone on this thread would understand one cannot retip a cantilever if one has no cantilever. Point being, with a change in cantilever the cartridge did not quite measure up to the original... | |
| Cartridge retip stylus options/Opinions please Frogman,If you haven't already sent them off, for what its worth I had Soundsmith repair a Lyra Clavis from which I had sheared off the cantilever. While I was moderately pleased with the result it was not the same as my original Clavis. For thi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,Bruce shipped it today, I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,i just ordered the Mag arm wand. I'll let you know how it turns out in my system.To Chris and everyone else, quote from Bruce: "The Audiogon group has been very good to me."Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John,Saw your system. Very nice, but be careful how you throw around the term "antiquated". Some of us are a LOT older than your equipment.😏 The beam does not look like balsa. What is it?Harry |
