Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners
I recently received my magnesium armtube from Bruce. Here is a picture that shows some big differences between the magnesium versus aluminum armtubes What is not so obvious in the pictures is how much beefier the head shell is on the mag tube. Cheers |
Richard, its even more serious when you hold each in your hand. They were definitely designed for two different cartridges. The mag looks like it has been lifting weights and has been on steroids all its life. I will put it on soon and provide an update. Guess I am being a little cautious :^) I think Ketchup still owns both armtube versions but his are on two different TT’s? Maybe if he sees this he can chime in on his experiences. Or maybe one of the other thread readers can provide input? Cheers |
Dover: I agree about the 3 point leveling of the ET. Your acknowledgement of engineering differing materials to the same level of trueness... This is what I'm getting into now, I'm aquiring a granite surface plate with a remarkably true surface that I'll be using to "true" each and every section of my upcoming tt project. The "anal" part of me would prefer that my project is as level/true as possible, all the while knowing I have the flexability/adjustability of the ET to take up the slack if needed! I know that no matter what one's skills are, they are for not if the 'right' tools aren't being applied to a project. You have some interesting points regarding overhang! |
