| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 05-15-13: RichardkrebsIn Bruce's paper on the oil trough he talks about the effect of Fr being apparent at 3x its frequency. Targeting say the 12 hz you mentioned would mean that it is causing phase and amplitude problems at 36 hz. This is not go... | |
| Speaker cables like Audience AU24 E but cheaper MIT is excellent | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Spock15I currently own an ET2, Naim Aro & Hadcock unipivot and have just sold off my Bluenote Borromeo ( Titanium tubed unipivot ).I hear a crisper articulation of the leading edge with all three unipivots. It's not large. The Aro is better in... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 05-15-13: John47Bruce Thigpen:"The ET-2 with the damping trough will exhibit almost perfect low frequency phase response."You don't like the ET-2 set up to have near perfect low frequency phase response? Thats fine, its a free world, but it means ... | |
| Question on FR 66s Halcro - I have to agree with Raul, your numbers dont add up. 05-15-13: HalcroThe MA-505s was no problem because it's overhang is the same as the FR-66s.....however the FR-64s has an overhang of 12mm as opposed to the 15mm for the others.So to cor... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 05-15-13: RichardkrebsDover.My calculation of weight delta was based on how much weight the air bearing has to carry. Not the horizontal effective mass. You voiced concern that I had taken it outside its load carrying capability. Optimum load cap... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 05-14-13: Richardkrebs.. if my heavy ET has problems with cantilever flex, bass boost, phase shift and so on; so do the other heavy arms. Rockport, Walker, Kuzma. This because the horizontal effective mass is solely determined by the total weight ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 05-14-13: RichardkrebsThe cartridge still has to push this mass sideways. Either a relatively low mass with the ET2 or heavier with a Rockport , Kuzma, Walker or Krebs arms. In an undamped system with a fixed counterweight we see a large rise in a... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 05-13-13: RichardkrebsThekong.It should be no surprise that the arm weighs in at that figure or even higher with the heavier counterweights. It is neccessary for it to perform well with low compliance carts. This is not correct with respect to th... | |
| Question on FR 66s Halcro - And yes......I have listened to the differences between the 230mm distance and the 231.5mm.........However I don't think this will solve the problems you have described Suteetat?I have plenty of 'play' distance for all headshells I have t... | |
| Question on FR 66s The problem with using protractors based on fixed pivot to stylus and overhang is that any deviation in mounting distance or cartridge/headshell constraints render the protractor useless. I prefer to use a universal protractor such as the 'Stupid'... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The kong,thanks, pictures are interesting - the stiffness around the arm connection is obvious. The 6000 does look quite flimsy, whereas the Sirius has a tapered armtube to a larger armtube clamp. The energy control should be much better.Also inte... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The kong,I am on a project at the moment and cant get back to the article but I believe it was a direct quote..I can confirm later if you like.Meanwhile I see in the stereophile review of the Sirius arm: August 2000The Sirius tonearm tube should b... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 05-03-13: Ct0517Dover - 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 i... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? I had an interesting experience in the 80's.I had a private one on one demonstration from Dave Wilson where he ran through several of his recordings, on vinyl, through the very first Wilson Watts ( no Puppies at that time) but they had some 2pi pa... |
