| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517..Increasing the room temperature by 5 degrees F ( 3 C ) is enough to soften the rubber suspension in the cartridge and drop the VTA by 1 degree.I would assume by the time you have finished a session you will have softened up the suspension ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project EMF MeasurementsUsing an EMF Field Tester, range 0.1 - 200m Gauss I found the following measurements interesting.Highest EMF emissions from vacuum tube preamplifier. 2" above the power supply 23m Gauss2" above the tube circuitry 8m Gauss15" to the... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 09-16-13: Ct0517Random Included Record Angles When they Make Records ...record masters are cut with random included angles by the cutter. The angle of the cut when the record master is made. Recording Groove Contoura. Included angle 90 degrees + 5... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro, 09-12-13: HalcroAnd here is the equally famous Takai Lab Final VTT-1 belt-drive turntable similar to Dover's.....although he has the Parthenon model I seem to recall which is quite different to this one?The Final in the picture is missing ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project 08-27-12: DoverVictor 101 - Could you get rid of the flimsy bottom cover completely and mount the nude deck via an inverted tripod ? It doesn't look particularly rigid from the photos.Potentially could you remove the internal transformer and some ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro/PrysoWe are in agreement on the "stability" of 3 feet.My comments on stability are in the context of draining unwanted energy using single point mechanical grounding. I also assume the tripod is correctly designed for weight distribution to... | |
| Nude Turntable Project 09-02-13: Ct0517Richard thanks for turning me onto the alpha leg :^) I may try it with the sp10 setup later. One Stainless Steel leg and 3 PVC or other slower material legs.With regard to your proposed 4 legged experiment, it appears that the ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project The table must have been 20 years old back then. Meaning the concept is at least 50 years old.Ah yes - the tripod. A tripod provides stability against downward forces and horizontal forces and movements about horizontal axes. The positioning of th... | |
| Nude Turntable Project 08-26-13: RichardkrebsFrom reading here it seems that those that prefer hard supports make them all out of the same material. I believe that this arrangement can be improved, if your goal is to wick energy out of the TT structure. By using, say, t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richardkrebs the cartridge is not expending all its effort in trying to rotate are arm but a vector of this force due to the offset angle. Actually it is the tracking angle that propels the arm inwards, which is different from offset angle. The s... | |

| Why No Power Button on Some Phono Stages? Lewm - Memory distortion in audio components, ie resistors and capacitors, is recognised by many now. A common example that some people may be aware of is batteries. If you keep recharging a battery before it is discharged fully, it can form a "me... | |
| Why No Power Button on Some Phono Stages? My tube preamps are on permanently. No issues. Every now and then I turn them off for a day or 2 to discharge the power supply caps and ensure there is no behavioural memory imprinted into the power supply caps. | |

| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dkarmeli I use the Micro as a reference simply because more people are familiar with these. I personally use the original Final Audio Parthenon VTT1/VSM2 with VDS17 Stabiliser & VM7 Mat which as you mention has a focus on unwanted energy dissi... |
