Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners

To remove whatever insulation I use aspirin. Lew thought for the headache connected with soldering work. But I am not joking. Put the wire on the aspirin than the soldering iron on the wire and aspirin and wonder.

Nandric, Are you an early morning listener like me? Cool! I'm a little concerned when asking me to "wonder" though.

Just to share something I've recently discovered. You may see a need?

When I changed to high pressure, during this process is when my Airtech tank exploded, I used 3 moisture traps to help eliminate the moisture I was accummutating in my line. ( By the way, I noticed that these had the additional effect of eliminating the pulsing from the compressor).

I ultimately ended up using, on the upstream of the final regulator, a dessicant filter. While this worked and allowed visual proof that some moisture was still getting through, it became an expense that I didn't want to incur forever.

Enter, toilet paper filter. Yes. Some of you may be aware, but I recently discovered it. Initially it seemed odd. After researching it on several forums, I ordered mine.

I'm sure there is a DIY of building this but I figure in my own time and effort into such things along with the other more important things I can do. Anyway, the intial cost and, in a low flow situation as the Et is, there will probably be little to no replacement filter needed. They can be removed to dry out as an option to replacement.

Even if one thinks there is no moisture in their line, it may be worth putting in, (a one time basis), a dessicant filter, just to try.

Dear Slaw, yes I am 'an early morning listener' like you
but because I test all kinds of MM carts I am of course
not listening to the music but only to the test records.
I have no idea what you are talking about but
assume that you also discovered some cheap methods
to test one or the other. BTW I use coffee filters to clean
the already used cleaning fluid for the LP's. No idea if this
works but the idea is that if you do the best you can there is no way
anybody can blame you . Now what about 'my' aspirin?
Regards,

Click on filters, may be the need to follow again.

If you Google 'compressed air toilet paper filters', you can follow links to user forums.

My test is as I descibed earier, by using the disposable dessicant filters vs this one. Maybe not scientific but I'll stand by my 'end user' method.

Slaw - fwiw - the 3 spikes on the base of the ET2 are stainless steel 10-32 cone point set screws available from any supplier. An excellent suggestion I thought from Dover to just file them down to use naked with acrylic or any other material you don’t want to mar. Ordering a few gives you options with a few different armboards.

Try to 'isolate' your wife

Well Nikola - I am a little confused. Since Serbians according to you are known as natural born warriors, I dare not ask what the Serbian way is to isolate your wife.
I am curious though how it is done in your Netherlands.
I have taken what I consider the sub optimal way of dealing with this problem – much like a sub sonic filter, I turn on my own filter. I realize this is just a bandaid and does not solve the problem, just like a sub sonic filter.
