| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners OK, a little off topic but I must give a shout out to the U.S. Van den Hul rep. Disclaimer first. I have no affiliation with A.J. Van den Hul or his U.S. rep., Finest Fidelity. As those of you who follow my ramblings know, a while back I purcha... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,Glad to hear we don't have a northern wall. Don't forget you are exempt from the steel & aluminum tariff.Could be worse, my new Garrard 301 plinth has been "preparing for shipping" from Austria for 5 days. I guess they can't find a pla... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,Thanks for all the info. I'm afraid it would be too noisy for my setup. All my equipment is in a closet at the front of my room but I'd still be only about 15 to 18 ft away. I don't have the luxury of a basement to isolate the noise.Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ct0517 Elkin, NC is only about 4 hours from me. I know you have discussed this before but I'm too lazy to look for the post. How quiet/noisy is this pump?I'm still amazed at how such small increments on the I Beam make such a significant differ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Long I-Beam LoversI mentioned a while back I had inquired of Bruce about a lighter base weight. He replied he might make some if there was enough demand. Well, today a cut down base weight arrived from Bruce. Without the bolt it gets me to the ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @shfinne I'll have to look into that London Decca. What table do you have it on?Harry | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris,No cats, no kids, just one medium mongrel and my wife. Wish we were closer too, but I try to be an honest kind of guy and I'm not sure I would trust myself to give it back to you. If closer, I'd be content to just hear it in your room. I'... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ct0517 Chris,My comment regarding your Verdier was unadulterated envy. I confess my infatuation with the 301's is in large part visual. Current projections indicate when all said and done I should have less than $2500 in it with total mechani... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ct0517 Thanks for the encouragement Chris."What you are doing Harry is a healthy audiophile exercise."Healthy!? Healthy!? Sure not healthy for my wallet :). But, damn, it's fun. I'm very anxious to get the plinth and have the TT refurbed and ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @slaw @ct0517 Yes, the solid plinths are outrageous. Found a source in Austria that is about half what the US sources get. It will be about a month to get the plinth then it's off to STS turntables in Nashville for refurb.I decided on an Ortofon... | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records @geoffkait If you want to destroy your MC cartridge just keep following geofkait's advice. | |
| SME Series III or SME 3009 If you are looking at a 9" arm you might want to look at the Ortofon TA 110. I just got one for my Garrard 301 restoration project. I haven't heard it yet because I'm early in the restoration but the service that is restoring my 301 says this Or... | |
| Jelco Headshell for Ortofon Arm Thanks for advice all. I went with a Zupreme. Seemed to be the most bang for the buck. | |
| Jelco Headshell for Ortofon Arm @jtsnead Thanks for recommendation. Guess I need to hear the stock Ortofon shell before jumping. | |
