| Top 5 Song Writers Of The 80's Can't believe no one has mentioned Stevie Wonder. | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... 1967, ten years old, and having immigrated to this great country (USA) a mere two weeks earlier, I heard "Hey Jude" by The Beatles on my uncle's tube radio (Fisher). Couldn't understand a single word of the lyrics, but my God, I had never heard an... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Thanks for reporting back. I think what you are doing is just great, and an invaluable experience. I am not surprised by your reactions/comments. We sometimes get used to excessive brightness and think it is more lifelike or "live"; until we hear ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dg, I use 1.5 meters of wire with no sign of any issue due to length. I suppose it's possible that a shorter length sounds even better, but the Cardas and Discovery looms are both 1.0 m and the AN is obviously superior to both; according to my tas... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dg, I use a continuous run from cartridge clips to phono stage, where it is soldered directly to the circuit board. I don't know the resistance spec for the AN wire. I can tell you that it is by far my favorite in comparison to the VDH silver clad... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I agree with Chris and Dover, in my experience the ET should not be run downhill. Anything but perfect leveling of the arm causes image instability and balance problems at best, and in a worst case it causes severe distortion at the end of a recor... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Excellent! have fun, and don't forget to bring some of your favorite music. | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Tccaux, listening to your Snells with a variety of amps is a fantastic opportunity. If the Snells are keepers (I think they should be), you are doing exactly the right thing. I would only encourage you to approach it with an open mind. "Neutrality... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover, very interesting. The ET2 manual states that overhang should be set in such a way that the stylus lands on a perpendicular line which intersects the platter spindle. I have always found that I get better image stability (particularly with c... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dear Nandric, I do hope that you know that my comments are merely in jest, and for fun. I hold no bias towards your esteemed profession. In fact, I owe a debt of gratitude to at least two of the lawyers who I have had to employ over the years. On ... | |
| Music that everyone else loves but you just don't Let's see, you like Grand Funk Railroad but you dislike Johnny Winter. Man, I know this is just for fun, but it's amazing how two people can live in different musical universes. Agree about boy bands; 'though. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dear Nandric,****Well I expressed my indebtedness to you already but I had no idea that you are also a lawyer.****Lawyer? Heavens no! A mere musician. Although, truth be told, it may come as a surprise just how many similarities (in a way) and par... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I agree with Dg. I would only add that I would use the shim only if absolutely necessary. With my 420 on the magnesium arm wand and with Cardas cart clips on the VDH wire, I can just about fit the clips in a way that does not stress the wires/clip... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? BTW, which integrated did you listen to? All three amps you mention are power amps. Also, which amp was too warm you? | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Great that you are getting to hear different things, but be very careful about conclusions based on listening to other speakers; especially as different as the 801's are from the Snells. I thought you were taking the Snells to the dealer? |
