| Question on FR 66s Hi Pani, I have both the FR64S and the FR64fx, and in my experience the s is much better. No matter what I did, the fx just sounded boring compared to the s ! | |
| Question on FR 66s Hi Suteetat,I also have an SX777 Air, and have once put in the FR64S with great result! I am interested at your mentioning of an armboard for the FR66s. If I understand correctly, you can only fit 9"-10" arms on the 777! Actually, not long ago, I ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,Regarding the modified ET you posted, I believe it was made by a guy in China. I read an article probably 7-8 years ago, in which he detailed the process of the modification. Unfortunately I couldn't find that article anymore, but it was ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Dover, Thanks for the explanation, will certainly try all different set ups and see the difference myself! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners As we have been discussing the pros and cons of the decoupled counterweight on the ET, I have this question on my mind (admittedly a non-technical one) for a long time!The ET uses leaf springs to decouple the counterweight so the arm doesn’t “see”... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Loosen the end cap bolt (not the leaf spring bolt we have been discussing) just enough to lower the lead weights, so that they are positioned at the bottom half of the spindle; when looking at the arm from the gooseneck side. Hi Ct,In all the pho... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Hi Mosin,I, for one, would be very interested to have a truly high-end controller for my belt drive turntables!But then, do you have an estimation on the cost? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Richard,I will be using the ET2.5 in my test. My ET started out as a 2, which I later added the 2.5 bearing from Bruce.I was asking whether replacing the lead counterweight with something else (brass/bronze ?), while still using the decoupled I... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Ct, I am using the Apogee Fullrange, so should be able to tell the bass difference between the different setup. However, I will need to order the extra left springs from Bruce.As I got my original ET2 secondhand, I am missing the lead counter w... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Ct, During the testing phase, my ET2.5 will be set up with a ClearAudio Sigma. When the final comparison comes, I will be using the Ortofon A90 between the Rockport and the ET. I am using 15psi for the moment with a compressor together with its... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Richard,Thank you for the suggestion! As this is only for experimenting, it is a bit rough. Would certainly take your suggestion into consideration if I decide I like this arrangement and fabricate the final counterweight assembly! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct,Here is a photo taken by my friend recently, not very clear, but you can have a general idea of my ET counterweight assembly, with a threaded rod for the weight.http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a500/der_yeti/IMG_1567.jpg | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Could the tubing being in a loop at the centre of the Rockport and Kuzma arm, be acting as a type of dampener for the arms motion in both directions ?Hi Ct,I think the tubing is just a necessary evil in the Rockport / Kuzma design. As for whether ... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier This is probably a Gyrascopehttp://www.lys-electronique.com/GYR33GB.html | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners What about that stiff plastic tubing on the Kuzma? It seems like it would have a huge effect on the arm's movement even if both of the fittings swiveled. Does anyone know any details about the tube's fittings or if it hinders the arm's movement? ... |
