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 ?

three opportunities to get into the game with an ET2. I started my ET2 adventure with a HW19MKIV over 10 years ago 1st one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271298811085&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:CA:3160 33 watchers - anyone here ? 2nd one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VPI-HW19-Turntable-w-Eminent-Technology-2-Arm-/271288466675?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item3f2a0d7cf3 An one here at audiogon. http://app.audiogon.com/listings/tonearms-eminent-technology-et2-tonearm-with-extra-wands-pumps-jig-obm-2013-10-05-analog-94611 Just sharing - not affiliated with any of them. Ebay bidding can be alot of fun - when you are not bidding. On another note. I found these comments from Johnathan Carr on the SRA thread interesting. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1379522903&openflup&118&4#118 Cheers Cheers |
I don't even see a shipping price as this appears to be a US sale only. I know a couple people looking on this side of the 49 parallel but they cant buy it. I don't blame the seller - he's probably dealth with irate Canucks as US/Cdn customs are a huge - PITA. sorry just venting a bit. As a seller I would have at least made sure the presentation is good. if this was a car ad two of the four tires are not even touching the road in the first ad. That ET2 will never get past the first groove if left in that condition - for those considering one. |
