Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners

Frogman: Can you explain the outer wire (it seems) that you have wraped around your armwand?

John47: What? I assume you are making a statement. Can you tell me what or how it pertains to this thread? Thank you.

Hi Slaw – if you go back a few posts you will see in one of them that Dover introduced a new term to us - well I should say he introduced it to me.

“robust debate”

Now in my opinion only, this “robust debate” sometimes brings in conversations outside of the box.

The box here being the ET2, ET2.5 tonearm.

I have always found that thinking and talking outside of the box is generally a good thing in life.

It helps to understand how each of us arrive at our own decision points - in this hobby.

Now if I am talking gibberish and have misunderstood – wouldn’t be the first time :^(

May Dover and John47 correct me. We are all big boys here after all.

BTW - I am just as guilty for posting a bunch of stuff here that has nothing to do with the thread. The latest I believe was asking for wine recommendations. Mind you I would be consuming a good percentage of it listening to music with the ET2.

Cheers

Slaw, welcome back to the thread. What you see on the arm wand (magnesium) is a very exotic rubberized cloth material used as a wrap, and sourced from a local supplier, called Lowe's rubberized cloth gaffer's tape :-)

In an attempt to tame my Vandenhul and Shelter MCs' aggressive top end, I wrapped the arm for extra dampening; it worked well. When I began using MM's again, I went back to the original lighter wand which works better with them.

Chris, eliminate the competition, I always say :-) Man, I wasn't even close! Over 2000 ET2's sold; I would never have guessed the number to be that high. I figured 1200 or so by the time the arm was discontinued (before being brought back). When was that article written?
