| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows OK, I can't take it anymore. I think you guys are taking this a little too far. I think we can all agree that a perfectly quiet audience is best, and that some people are clueless and selfish, and .... But, it's not reality. We can't have it both ... | |
| Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify?? Huh?!? | |
| Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify?? Think of this not just in terms of the quality of the cable itself, but also (and probably more importantly) in terms of the number of mechanical connections (crimps/solder joints) that your cartridge's puny signal has to endure on it's way to you... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Let's talk about something that really matters: Neeme Jarvi, lackluster?!?!. What music was he conducting? Jarvi is one of the greatest living conductors. | |
| Analog is the new pink I was going to disagree with some of the above comments point for point, but I think it's fair to say that there isn't much I can agree with at all. If by "taking younger people's interest in vinyl too seriously" you mean that they will abandon "e... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I am using the ET supplied silicone fluid. | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Inna, I must say (in the spirit of debate) that was one of the most ridiculous posts I have ever read on this forum; and, with all due respect, just plain wrong. I respect your opinion to consider yourself a machine of sorts; but please speak for ... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not A turntable cannot have soul (soul, not A soul); it is a machine. Music has soul. Some turntables reproduce more of the soul of a musical performance than other turntables because they are better machines; they let more of the rhythmic nuance in a... | |
| guitar solos where less is more No mention of Bill Frisell? A great artist. Cliche-free playing, few notes, and every note counts. Improvises in the traditional way of always returning to the melody while stretching the harmonic boundaries. Miles Davis-like use of space, and a v... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw, glad the changes yielded good results. You said: "With regards to the damping trough... if the best results come from the paddle lightly touching the fluid, would there be any sonic difference in trying different weights of fluid or is that ... | |
| What constitutes a "high output" moving coil cart? Nsgarch is exactly correct, unless you will be considering the multi-thousand $ MC's, there are many fine MM's that are worth considering. Some would argue that EVEN IF you will be considering top tier MC's, you should consider a MM. Read this and... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong, congratulations! As should be clear so far, we feel this is a terrific arm. And if you enjoy tinkering...well, you'll be in heaven. I think the ET's reputation for requiring a lot of maintenance is exaggerated and unjustified, as I have f... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Well said! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners For what it's worth, I have used this arm for about twenty two years, and have used more cartridges (of all persuasions) than I can remember. While the effect of lower compliance at the I-beam spring has been most noticeable with low compliance/hi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners BTW, the key to using the damping trough is to allow the paddle to just barely touch the fluid. Otherwise the sound gets too slow.Ct, can you be more specific as to what you mean by "damping". It's possible this is a semantics issue, whereby your ... |
