Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners
Are the oak leaves still (!?) falling? Indeed Frogman, this unprecedented cold snap, seemed to have caused many of the remaining brown oak leaves to finally lose their grip, and float down on top of the fresh white snow. Looking almost plague like. Any talk of global warming will fall on deaf ears here. |
Hi Chris, I was thinking about my posts yesterday.... I believe earlier when I (mistakenly) used the word "futile", may have been the beginning of what I view now as a misunderstanding. At that point, I was concentrating on azimuth and how in order to get it correct, it really has to be done lp by lp. I then remarked on using a (best reference lp) and leave it at that. (This is what was in my mind at the time). I know that to adjust azimuth (only) with the ET, it requires patience to get it right by twisting the arm on it’s very tight connector... which I believe is the only way to accomplish azimuth adjustment without altering other factors..and this is only if one is careful not to push/pull the armwand while twisting.) This is was also key in my mind/post a couple of weeks ago. One has to be lucky to get it right using just this singular method. This is why I've found the Foz to be of help with the ET. |
Nandric - With all those compressors, tubes and other devices your ET-2 remind me of a patient on intensive care. The difference is that Dear Nandric (Nikola) I have to tell you that I find it very ironic that my wife and yourself are sending me similar messages about health and reference to patients/intensive care. She likes to joke to me about the hazards to my health, as I pound my bones on the treadmill every day. She sees my knees bandaged up prior to starting, and of course hears me complaining of pain all day, especially in colder weather. You of course are referring to the health of the components required to keep my ET 2.5 running. So it got me thinking and it became even more ironic to me, (you know Canadians and Irony....go hand in hand ) that my messages back to both of you happen to be identical, as to why I partake in these activities. Because within 10 minutes of commencing each activity - everything becomes crystal clear. And when the activities stop - it's all downhill from there. Now Nikola .... tell you a secret - the biggest, real threat to the longevity and health of my ET 2.5/Platine vinyl setup can be seen in this picture. Do you see the problem ? |
