Record collecting versus hoarding
I will share, that having been through a house move, after many years in the previous house. If you have a lot of records....like on multiple floors, and a pending House Close Date; then you will have had a "Come to Jesus" moment, and determined a...

@pegasus that is an interesting comment The longer i-beam allows much lower resonance frequencies ie. potentially a wider tuning range. With my ET 2.5 and the long I Beam matching the bass response (punchy and tight) same as digital and 15 ... 
Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable?
@chowkwan  et al Just saw this thread. The Clockwork Orange Turntable - Cool   If you want to roughly and quickly find out if an ET 2 or 2.5 will work on a springy turntable. Go get a soup can or similar object that weighs 408 gms - .9 lbs. So...

@lewm Lewm I normally don’t contribute to this thread, because I do not own and have never owned an ET2 or 2.5. However, I concede that it is probably a great tonearm. But when you speak of Newton, keep in mind that the net force exerted by a ...

I asked them to edit your post removing the spam link, and to delete the spam post and spam user. Audiogon chose to remove your post. You can post it again but don't use the first four letters only of the word methodology. Also no personal info ab...

@dover And one of the best arms ever made regardless of price and most unfairly maligned. It beggars belief that on audiogon there is so much misinformation on the ET2, when discussing tonearms in general, when the Eminent Technology website con...

@nandric  Best that we stay on point here Nikola.  I don't follow any philosophers per se; my comment in the previous post was in jest. I do however believe anyone that survived the Covid Pandemic has the makings for being a great philosopher, esp...

@nandric Hello Nikola Most ET2 Users use the ET2 supplied pump, it makes very little noise cannot be heard from 6 feet away and is placed on the floor next to the turntable. When you order a car you have options. You can select a bigger engine,...

@ketchup  yes - the longer one cut the counter weight requirement in half. So it must be around double the length of the original one. I am not looking at one right now. If you click on my virtual system you will see it.

Email Bruce and he will give you the info. Are you using the newer long I Beam ? Recommend anyone using the original short I Beam get Bruce to send you (single and double) leaf spring long I Beams. They reduce the counterweight requirement by hal...

Hi Guys - so I conversed with Bruce this past week on this topic.The conversation is attached below. My personal experience is this. Anyone into vinyl seriously who sets up their own rigs could probably become a physics major. All the considerati...

Hi Guys Been a really...long time. Life has a way of throwing curve balls even when you think you have planned for changes. We moved house after many (many) years and it has been one challenge after another. Hope this post finds everyone well.  ...

@stuogawa Really cool speakers and kit. CongratsWhenever I put my own time and skills into building and modding components there is always a tendency to want to keep, hang on to those components. There is a pride element with the B&W Electrost...

So given those factors, a cartridge with a compliance number higher than 20 should pair best with my current tonearm setup? Hi Djspinner From a numbers view point it would be the most "plug and play".... but here's the thing. I can tell you that ...
