Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners

Thanks for the info Richard.

I have watched my Brass Armpod being cut from this

Blurry picture – it was moving I had to make sure I wasn’t hit as it swung over to the cutting table.

I also watched my SS Legs that are bolted into my previous version SP10 setup being made. The current version has threads at both ends.

This magnesium armtube is a very different beast. :^)

Cheers

Dover.
Please contact me via my website. There, I can answer your questions and any others you may have in detail.
Thank you for your interest in the upgrade.

I hope everyone is enjoying summer.
At least those on this side of the equator.
I am enjoying my summer

I have an extra aluminum arm wand if anyone needs one.

It can be used as is or you can have Bruce convert it to Carbon Fibre.

If anyone is interested contact me by pm. Its available with
stock wiring or without.

Cheers

Richardkrebs: I have aquired the necessary equipment and will be constructing my TT in my own shop. Your comment regarding constructing the arm pillar and pod ( assumming we are talking about the same thing) as one, doesn't seem necessary to me and in fact seems a step backward, IMO. I choose to go with Bruce's original design as much as possible, bowing to his expertise on design and knowledge. I will be using the 'granite surface plate' to have an accurate 'plane' as a reference for the build and final placement in my system, not for actual use in my system. The arm's final trueness will have at least one separate adjustment, the 3 point ET arrangement. My focus is to make each of the four portions 'true' in every step of the build process, all the while knowing I have multiple other options available in my personal system/set-up that I can count on to get me to the 'true' point. My personal goal is perfection, then knowing that isn't always acheivable, I can rely on the ET adjustment/ arrangement.
I have to say that as regards to using acrylic as a platform for the vinyl record and in my own system, IE: the armboard, I do agree with Fremer that this isn't the best material for great transient response, tight, controlled musical bass @ realistic sound that I crave. Of coarse this is solely from my own system experience and personal preference.

...... another important factor. I, as I'm sure you all are aware, from decades of listening, the effects of certain materials on sound quality. This is where most of us have experience that novices don't or will have to wait for, until these important factors can properly be evaluated in your projects. This is where time listening, experience, and most of all, patience is critical in going forward with aftermarket projects.
