Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners

Just a general comment on the ET arm. I know others have had similar comments but here is mine. I've owned mine for over 20 years and just recently when I put in my new armboard I realized how quick and easy it was with an even greater degree of 'getting it right' the first time with even more accuracy than I've had before. It's a long term relationship that is well worth it. IMO.

I used to know a guy that had owned his ET2 for over 15 years. During this time he had 2 wives. During the marital turnovers he managed to keep his ET2, but did give up some other prized gear. IMO – if this ET2 tonearm had lots of shiny metals on it that looked like gold and silver, he may not have been so lucky to hang onto his ET2 this long. It’s a sleeper.

Its already been said here that the ET2 has stood up to the hardest test of all – time. Anyone can buy a 20 year old ET2 tonearm on the used market and make it work. Even if replacement parts are needed they are available at reasonable cost.

Chris, Yes, humour is only as good as it relates to us intimately. The best audio products are those that require and respond to our attention.

And now... for those 6 copies of The Who " Who's Next". lol!

I want to say one other thing related to the discussion I kind of created recently. Music. This is what it's all about. Whether you're in it for the mechanics or the feeling...... that's what we all have to decide.

If I was asked, what I could do without, my electronics(system) or my lps, that's easy............ take my electronics, PLEASE!

My heart @ soul is in the music , $@^$## the electronics!!!

By the way, did you hear about the guy who went record shopping @..................

FWIW - I have a room I play with the gear in; it is a form of therapy for me so it really is beneficial, and l learn a lot in there. This doesn’t have to be a big or elaborate room.
I have the other room that rarely changes. LPs’s all over the place from previous listening sessions, along with some tape. I really enjoy music in there to get my fix and learn a lot about the music itself in there. If something happens in the first room that I think might be good to introduce into the second room. I go for it.
