| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 'Audio' review of the ET-2. Excellent read with some (if you haven't already read it) surprising, even startling, results. By Edward M Long in 1987, when reviews were a serious affair.As I'm semi literate, Chris has kindly uploaded my jpegs to his... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Pseudo science from Dover:"removed their fluid damping and replaced it with electromagnetic damping which has the benefit of not inhibiting movement until the movement happens."Pseudo science: its identical with fluid damping - there is no damping... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bruce Thigpen:"The ET-2 with the damping trough will exhibit almost perfect low frequency phase response."You don't like the ET-2 set up to have near perfect low frequency phase response? Thats fine, its a free world, but it means you accept/enjoy... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The writer, Dover, has written a great deal about air bearings lack of rigidity on this thread.A few comments: “In the Hifi News Review of the ET2 Martin Colloms concluded that the shape of the resonance passing through the air bearing remained in... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover wrote:"This is nonsense Richard. Your comments that the air bearing is rigid defies physics. Have you heard of compressed air. You can get 2300l of air into a dive bottle with an internal volume of 11 litres. Try that with metal.Why not try ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Not an audiophile! Never mind.But I do know what 'diatribe' means:"A forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something." | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris“Can you guys recommend a good cabernet sauvignon from ‘downunder’ that will not break the bank and is safe?”After decades of research (not backed by multiple degrees mark you), I can offer an opinion that might help (I won’t say satisfy, ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Put on your knitwear cardy so don't catch a cold, your thick lensed glasses so you don't fall, then pop out and replenish your Prozac.Chris (such a lovely guy): "You come across as a real hard ass .." Acronym: PITABTW did Richardkrebs pick on you ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners "..... do not appear to grasp the physics and engineering principles involved."MF wasn't speculating when he heard 1 of the best 2 arms in the world - I guess you'll never be able to look out the door and see blue sky and appreciate that (the Kuzm... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners After a week in Australia for F1 racing, I checked this thread. Surprised I was, that it continues: high horizontal/lateral mass wrecks cartridges (words to that effect), or at least Richardkrebs arm setup does (words to that effect).It catalysed ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners For clarity: the question in my last post was addressed to Mr Dover. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Can you please advise (and of course fellow posters) what speakers you were using in your system when you set up the loose counterweight decoupling method.I am interested in this approach and its effect on the sound, particularly in the bass regio... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners “para 1 - not obvious to everyone.”Why not, there are only 2 words to understand: ‘modified ET2.’“Adding lead mass creates higher inertia but does NOT retard motion.”Yes it does, more energy is required to activate the system.You’re banging on abo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners "I am contemplating a post grad course in pseudo science"So you've already graduated/excelled in pseudo science. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Very entertaining Chris, much mirth."I took one of the small circle magnets from the ET2.5 setup over to my Dynavector tonearm. What followed kind of reminded me of one of those horror movies –you know the one where the guy wakes up and finds hims... |
