| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogmanre: Torquing of bolts. I own a few torque wrenches, big ones for auto + the mini torque wrenches we can use for this audio hobby. The issue I have with them is that the torque settings for these random bolts are meant for the nut/bolt, and ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I remember Frogman and Banquo363 trying longer beams - but they made them out of wood so they didn't work out. The I beam needs to live and breathe (resonate/vibrate) like the cart, and should be matched to the vibrating cart. More springs on the ... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Good Morning Harry the proper thing to do if I was in audiophile mode, would be to switch my mag for the aluminum with my MC and give you direct impressions in my room. That’s not going to happen for a couple of reasons. I don’t like to fool with ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi PegasusGood to hear from you. :^)The Verdier provides for Levitation AND Braking Action - and that is why I included the analogy. Everybody thinks about the Levitation but NO ONE discusses the braking action. 8^0 All I did was report Bruce’ fin... | |

Also, off topic I apologize, but how do you contact a member directly in this system?AnalogluvrSee pic 19 on my virtual sys... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive ^^^^^hiho - pulleys also make noise. I owned one of these TNT turntables. A very nice table I used it with and without the extra pulleys. It was outperformed by my custom Technics Sp10 and also the Jean Nantais 100 lb Lenco. Then I modified the TN... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive When I modified my belt drive to string drive, it was a definite improvement...clearly audible. From the instant the cartridge touched the record, the bass was more solid, more clarity in the mids, even it seemed to have improved the dynamics. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi John, "I like to have something to look forward to. Eh?" yes, for me there has to always be something there, that I am looking for, pursuing. I have found that keeping these "somethings" simple, but not easy to reach, is the secret to being sor... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners We have all plowed for potatoes with our vinyl Harry :^)Right now - not sure I will see the day again when I can drop $50-60 on a new LP record again. My two - 22 year old fraternal millennials are still draining me down faster than the world's oi... |
