Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners

Thanks so much guys. @Frogman, yes please on pics, email is vinylryp@gmail.com. I am in Denver, but would gladly pay 2-way shipping for the chance to test drive a loom! I get to NYC 2 or 3 times a year for a customer, but it is sporadic at best.

Bruce sent me some special 3M adhesive strip rather than velcro for the trough. My paddle just barely makes contact with the surface as it should, like I mentioned, my trough has a twist, it is as straight as it can be, but is not true. I tried to true it prior to install, but... it's okay -- like you said, you don't fill it up. I think it is doing its job fine, and the leeching has stopped, maybe I jostled it at some point.

@Ct0517, would you email more specifics on how to order a loom from Gene, more detail on the build or components? Looks like he is in Canada? I'm a former bench tech (30 years ago!), so pretty comfortable with an iron, but am not above paying for expertise either.

Everyone,

This is an apology. Sincerely, I apologize to everyone, especially Chris. I've re-evaluated several things (personal) and I really think I can do much better.
I've evolved in good ways and my system has come along with me. I think I do have things to offer.
So I ask you, if you all will let me back in, to accept my posts as thoughtful and from my audio heart.

We all have detailed and thoughtful analysis of our systems and components. We express our thoughts on each of these and yet, we aren't focusing on a specific source!

This seems to be an obvious ommision of extreme consequense. This thread is about ET owner's experiences with this arm in our, varied systems. While our systems vary, our source doesn't have to. So, my suggestion is that we, as ET owners, discuss our experiences with this arm in our different systems with one, (agreeable) recording, (lp) in mind. To me, this makes perfect sense.

Hi Steve, welcome back. where have you been ?
We all go through stuff ….. this hobby and forum is one way that helps me to deal with it.
Look forward to hearing about your system updates.

In follow up with Frogmans comments on the 420str, I am totally enjoying the Acutex 420str the last few weeks.

Could this be Linear arm heaven for cheap ?

Dgarretson (Dave) if you see this post please let us know how it sounds on your Terminator Linear arm. I understand that the inventor of the arm purchased multiple samples from Nandric (Nikola) after hearing it the first time.

Pivot arm owners reading this - beware – this cartridge which is a little piece of nothing and costs as much as a good lunch, will give you mind and back spasms if properly set up - be assured. Most with no patience will give up on it and say it is too harsh - as I read on the MM thread.

A belated Happy Canada Day and hope my US friends here have a great 4th of July.

Cheers Chris
