| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Good Morning Chris,Thanks for the detailed analysis. I like the analogy. I grew up in New England so I get it. I can even drive on snow! As you have no doubt gathered, even after nearly 30 years, I am still a little intimidated by my ET. I kn... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,I'm about to take the plunge for Bruce's mag arm but thought I'd touch base with you first. Over the last month + I have increased air pressure, moved weights out and added springs on the beam. After each of these upgrades I heard a sig... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,re: KittyWhat we do for our children! | |
| Tonearm for VPI HW MkIII ET 2 or 2.5! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,Thanks for nor banishing me from the thread. Perhaps it's just coincidence but my go to LP for set up has long been a Keith Jarrett on ECM. It is an all analog fine European pressing. Problem is it is just trio music and doesn't presen... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Good morning John,Thanks for tip on the VTA gauge. Unfortunately, it won't fit with my dust cover. I think I have it dialed in correctly now.Small world. My brother-in-law lives in Mooresville, just outside of Charlotte and if it is the same RO... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks for the VTA tip John. I'll have to look into Bruce's gauge. Is this his set-up gauge or one just for VTA? No, I don't recall having dealt with Taylor house. Where are they?Harry | |
| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. Darn crossed fingers. I meant "Happy hunting." | |
| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. I have heard that ARC drove the tubes really hard in the SP-10 but not so hard in the 11, but do not have personal experience. For the same money if you are patient you might find a CAT SL-1, with which I have had over 25 years experience. It's ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi, John,Welcome aboard. You are definitely at the right place. Like you I've owned my ET II for over 25 years. It's hard to beat. The guys on this thread have vast experience with our arm and are quick to give great advice that really works. ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,This is indeed a strange hobby. And one never knows when the most seemingly innocuous comment by a fellow audiophile will bring a breakthrough. Such is the case with your last description of listening preferences. I have a fair collect... | |
| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. With your budget you can pick at the top of the heap if you are willing to go a little older. ARC SP-10 or SP-11. While they are harder to find, there are even CAT SL-1s available in your price range. I bought a used CAT SL-1 over 25 years ago ... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes OP,I would add the Rogue Audio ST-100 to your list. It’s about 3k new but used should be close to your budget. I’ve owned two different Jadis amps and while the Rogue is not quite in that league it has nothing to be ashamed of. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,Thanks for in depth info on wands. Still mulling this issue. It seems the cf would work with a wider range of cartridges but the mag is a closer match to my Delos. I'm back to two springs with no damping. In the process I also checked/r... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners bh80231,Sorry I got your monicker wrong in my prior respons. Where did you get the way too cool red tips for the ET levers? As I said to Chris, if I was into cosmetics over sound I wouldn't have an ET, but I gotta get me some of those red tips.H... |
