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!
Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners
Where are you? What mods have you done ?
I have been using these ET2's for over 9 years now.
I am still figuring them out and learning from them. They can be modified in so many ways. Bruce Thigpen laid down the GENIUS behind this tonearm over 20 years ago. Some of you have owned them for over 20 years !
Tell us your secrets.
New owners – what questions do you have ?
We may even be able to coax Bruce to post here. :^)
There are so many modifications that can be done.
Dressing of the wire with this arm is critical to get optimum sonics along with proper counterweight setup.
Let me start it off.
Please tell us what you have found to be the best wire for the ET-2 tonearm ? One that is pliable/doesn’t crink or curl. Whats the best way of dressing it so it doesn’t impact the arm. Through the spindle - Over the manifold - Below manifold ? What have you come up with ?
