| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @frogman I'm back on the mag arm with the VDH. My observations are again the same as yours. Finer focus of instruments in space. You described this as smaller in a wider space but I think we are talking about the same thing. I have lightened VT... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @frogman Pretty remarkable we are hearing the same subtle differences between arm wands with the VDH. Guess my 73 year old ears aren't as bad as I thought. The focus of individual instruments in space (particularly piano) don't seem quite as sha... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @pegasus Swaped arms from mag to aluminum. Difference is subtle but audible Soundstage is deeper and cymbals are more extended with little or no grit. The VDH is rather more up front than the Lyras I'm used to and the aluminum arm seems to push ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks Pegasus,I started college (1961) majoring in engineering. At the end of my sophomore year intermediate calculus drove me to change major to political science.I have an ET 2 that has not been upgraded to the high pressure manifold but I'm a... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Gentlemen,I recently picked up a Van den Hul MC One Special. Specs say static compliance is 28 micron/mN. I don't have a clue what this means in terms of high, low or medium compliance. Can some of you with a better engineering/physics backgrou... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bruce's second run, long I-Beam delivered yesterday. Much better fit for the weight clamp. Sounding good. Cheers | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,When you get a chance, I sent an off topic question to you by pm a few days ago.Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John,While my longer beam with weight almost at end does seem to flex a little more than the shorter one, it is not excessive on my rig. Two thoughts. Are you using a double or triple spring on your beam? If not, that may solve the problem. ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Another long I-Beam update:If you missed my earlier post Bruce's new long plank is a little too thin for the weight clamp. It won't clamp down tightly. Bruce just updated me to say he is working on a second run that will correct this problem. S... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bruce's long I Beam update (yes, Chris, the plank :)Went by my mechanic this morning and picked up a couple of wheel weights. I was able to fashion one to fit in the slot where the first weight goes. I am now out to about 1/8 - 1/4 inch from the... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,Got it. I'll be off to Lowe's for a cabinet magnet. I'm really enjoying Bruce's long plank.Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,Did customs figure out your $15.00 piece of plastic is not a danger to society yet?Been reviewing prior posts and ran across those dealing with magnetic damping for the ET. I'd like to try it but, dunce that I am, I can't figure out where... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners John - yes, yes I was remiss in not giving you a nod for this wonderful tweak.Chris - Wish I could come off as a pro and tell you balancing was a snap. Alas it was not. It took a good deal of time and patience to acquire a neutral balance for le... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,Be happy with your black flies. Yellow jackets got me twice in the last two weeks. Hope you are having a great summer.Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello all,Bruce's long I-beam with double spring arrived today. 6 inches long not including spring(s). Very nice improvement. I'm down to the single weight about 5" out. I noticed deeper and tighter bass which extends to lower mids giving a ri... |
