B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier
Hi Pvctor Attached are a couple of graphs from B&W for the 801 matrix. 801 Impedance Curve Note the 4 ohm symbol. Not sure why it was plotted on this paper. You can also find plotted graphs on the stereophile review of the S2. 801 Frequency Re...

Manitunc – just a note on my last post. If it works its the original ET2 manifold. If it needs a higher pressure to work you have a HP manifold.If we are talking about an older ET2 arm it may need more pressure because of it being dirty. Its a go...

05-13-13: ManituncIs there a way to tell if I have a high pressure manifold on my ET2? Some sort of marking on the manifold, or a different size? I have a couple of different pumps, but dont want to put on a higher pressure if its going to damage ...

Thekong ....the owner of that Sirius III was complaining on Audiogon that the arm couldn’t track more than 3 cuts into the LP.....Hi Thekong – thx for that info. Well imo whatever it was able to play ...it would have been a subpar performance from...

Rrog and Marakanetz When someone asks for an opinion I like to read about direct experiences and real data. Based on the OP’s requirements – which may change, my reply was based on his OP. I figure he can make a decision based on his own. How do ...

Pvctor - I am wondering if a 60W tube amp such as Conrad Johnson MV 60 or Premier 11A would do the job for mostly low level listening in a small-mid size room. Does anybody have experience with similar combination ?Hi Pvctor – hows it going fellow...

Thanks for that info Thekong and Dover. Thekong – something doesn’t look right to me with that Sirius III pic ? Looking at the air tube wiring – how does that tonearm get past the 2nd track? Isn’t the air tube pushing back at the arm as it makes i...

Ct0517 - We know the heavier ET2 armtube affects the horizontal mass as well.this was worded badly. This thread is too old to allow for corrections. I wanted to say the arm wand weight lighter or heavier, affects both the vertical and horizontal i...

Thekong - In the later, upgraded, models of the Rockport 6000, i.e. the 7000 and the arm on the Sirius III, AP chose to use heavier armtubes. I believe all 3 arms used the same air-bearing, and their armtube clamping systems are of the same (or ve...

Richard re: damping trough. Thanks for bringing this up. I have completed my game of musical turntables, so I will revisit the damping trough now. It can get messy when moving an ET2 from one TT to the next with a trough of oil attached ! My main ...

Dover ....but there are some pivoted arms that can provide musical enjoyment as well.You’re a real funny guy Dover. Did anybody ever tell you that? I did not say I didn’t enjoy my pivot arms. I said they couldn’t go straight.....they need some he...

Dover - Andy Payor and Bruce Thigpen both disagree with adding mass.Cant speak for Andy Payor but this is not true with BT. The original ET2 came out when MM’s were popular. When heavier less compliant MC’s became popular. Bruce introduced the hea...

Hi Manitunc You can also find the measurements for VPI and SOTA templates in the online ET2 manual - Part two on pages 62 and 63 at the back. Drilling even the one small hole that the ET2 needs, in a nice plinth ranks up there as probably one of t...

Some Gooseneck Impressions in my system/room. First a reference point. You can go listen to a group/band in the same location for two different days. They will sound different for each performance. No performance is the same. They are humans after...
