| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Yes, I know this is an ET II forum but I can't restrain my recent good fortune. A family member just gave me a Garrard 301 for my birthday. It is complete with a Garrard arm. As much as I love my VPI HW 19 (which I will keep and become a two tu... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @slaw For some reason, several months back Bruce took out the link to all of the upgrade parts for the ET II. But I think they are all still available. Just email him and he will be very helpful.In fact if you google ET II magnesium arm or ET II... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @slaw Well..........I had never thought about that coincidence. But now that you mention it, it is kind of ironic. I promise I am not Harry W in disguise. I have enjoyed my VPI HW 19 (now MK IV) for over 20 years so VPI seemed an appropriate mo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ct0517 Chris,Thought you and others might be interested in these two exchanges I had with Bruce about a lighter base weight. Perhaps, if the folks here on this forum make enough noise with Bruce he will make us some light base weights.Harry On 2/... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners PPS: Then, again maybe the government is correct. How else can we explain how obsessive compulsive we ET II audiophiles are. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,Regarding my mod to get weight to the end of the plank for lighter cartridges, see the last picture on my virtual system page. I'll try to describe here. Go to your local auto tire store and get some stick-on wheel weights used on magne... | |
| VPI motor - upgrade to 300 rpm? Four things to look at:1. Early 600 rpm SAMA came with a flywheel. It looks like a large stainless steel washer that slides over the motor spindle. VPI stopped using it at some point because it wobbles causing speed variations, flutter and rumbl... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ct0517 I loved the analogy too. @frogman Congrats on the long I-beams. Let us know what you hear with them. The VDH Black Beauty SPX is not quite broken in yet but I'm becoming a huge VDH fan. Right out of the box it had a luscious midrange wit... | |
| What direction is VPI headed? @slaw Rumor has it Harry said he discontinued the HW -19 because it got too expensive to manufacture and sell at at a reasonable price. With a TNT platter and bearing and a SAMA I've heard few tables selling for less than 10k that best it. But t... | |
| What direction is VPI headed? @turntablematI've owned an HW-19 for longer than I care to recount. Purchased as a MK III and upgraded to MK IV with original SAMA. I have enjoyed this table for over 20 years. If properly setup, with the proper arm, I believe it still competes... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Welcome back, Chris. When you get snowbound you gotta get Bruce's second run long "plank".Frogman,Enjoyed my short sojourn with the the VDH MC-1 Special but missed the Lyra delicacy and extension I've lived with for so many years. I did, however... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Long I-Beam update.My new Van den Hul cartridge seems about broken in now. At least I'm not hearing significant changes from session to session. Fine tuning setup was nearly impossible while it was breaking in. I'm using the mag arm wand and th... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Are you all suggesting that there is no music in the same frequency range as the ticks, clicks and pops that this device is removing? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman,A dagger through my heart! 😢 | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @dlcockrum Not! After my Clavis experience I'm a devout coward😱Harry |
