| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I'm glad that I'm happy enough with my ET2.0. It only took me 20 years to get it setup right. I'm not about to start all over again!-John | |
| Man this is frustrating I'm using Audioquest Water RCA cables with the DBS system from tonearm to phono preamp. Would these cables still benefit from burn in on my old "Duotech cable enhancer"? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners It's funny how that little styrene I-beam I bought at the hobby shop 10 years ago works pretty well. I tried using less weight on the I-beam further out, but when I moved the arm in or out, the I-beam waved back and forth like a dog wagging its ta... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hey Harry,I'm glad you appreciate the tweak, and glad I could contribute something to this thread.John | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners -Just a remnant of my undergrad and HS years. -Not much else is left in this old cerebrum. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners PV=nRT as I remember. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I get about 7.5 psi out of that setup which is what Bruce told me to expect. The noise isn't a problem as the pumps are in the next room in a closet. If I deadhead the pumps' output, I get around 12 psi. -And my manifold is the high pressure versi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I use two wisa pumps working out of phase with each other in parallel, two large surge tanks in series with a small surge tank made from a plastic radio control gas tank, sitting a few feet from the ET-2. When I did the above test, it was complete... | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Speaking of Ampzilla and Mr. B, I owned a Son of Ampzilla in the 70's. I didn't like the lack of on-off switch, and called Mr. B about it. He just said fine and sent me an outboard switch to install myself. -Never used the switch but liked the amp... | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Electron Kinetics Eagle 7a still powers my low end after 20 years. -No urge to upgrade yet, cause I can't lift the beast, and the grip on the woofers is profound. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hey Chris,I've always balanced my arm that way. Doesn't everyone? I don't use the damping trough, however. I'm also only using 7.5 psi on the arm, as that's the best two wisa pumps in parallel can do. Am I missing something here?-John | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hey Harry,I was mixed up about which preamp you were using. Sorry.I'm with you on the loom thing. My AQ interconnects with the DBS system are working just fine (it apparently keeps the dielectric in the cables constant), and the original litz wire... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hey Chris,It's ok to throw money at things as long as you don't spend your capital. Mom told me that a while ago, and it has worked for me. After all, it's only money. -Enjoy it if you've got it. Hey Harry,Do you have the Calypso or Callisto. -Jus... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Harry,Are you suffering from audio nervosa?Just throw some money at it like I did. Don't worry; be happy.I gave up on VTA as the Lyras are pretty immune with the cartridge top surface parallel to the LP surface.I don't worry about loading any more... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I passed along my first system (circa 1972) to my younger brother who still uses it to this day. My first phono preamp and record cleaning machine went to a friend who, though not an audiophile, owns a large vinyl collection from the 60's-80's. I ... |
