| Cones under a suspended table? Tonyptony:This was one of the first tables I was introduced to regarding (high-end), what's better than normally found. I think it's an easy recommendation... Always replace any rubber feet with a material that resonances can "Pass" through! No br... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dgarretson: Regarding your statewment about fashioning a tonearm wire from AN silver. That is on my list also. I'm seriously considering your "egg beater" design in the final product. Isn't that the whole point of these forums? To learn from other... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Rubyboogie: Sorry, I just assume others have access to the necessary equipment for these things. After cutting the pipe in half you could fashion an end piece. It can all be sealed by silicone. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Rugyboogie: If you set your mind to it, you can make a trough fairly easily. Get the appropriate diameter pipe. Cut it in half. Find an adhesive similar to the 3M and GO FOR IT! It's really not that hard. | |

| VPI bearing oil/grease? Frogman: No, not the Royal Purple. It seems a little higher viscosity and in applying it, feels more stable. I used it my first round for about 7 months, looked at it and could not notice any breakdown at all. In that time, there was no noticable ... | |
| DIY upgrades to VPI platter I guess I should have mentioned my ultimate goal first, which was to increase rotational mass as Brf alluded to. The problem as I saw it is if the additional weight from my 'idea' would be so much a killer of sonics to nullify any benefit. I modif... | |
| Audio Artistry Beethoven's midrange stop working I had a friend with Mozarts. In spite of my insistence, he'd never contact Sigfried in order to find out how to get inside. Contact Sigfried! | |
