Hi Dave - I am looking forward to your impressions of the ET 2.0 HP manifold. Cheers Chris
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 ?

from the Audiophile Club of Athens. A very interesting website with a lot of audio passion like here at Audiogon. I came across a recent visit with a member with an ET 2.5 on a Micro Seiki table. He also has an SME V and ZETA tonearm on the same table. To see the ET 2.5 in action for a bit, scroll to the bottom of the page for the video. http://www.aca.gr/index/meetings?row=2320 to Kyriakos (owner of the ET 2.5) If by chance you happen to visit Audiogon, please stop by and say Hi to us here !

Hi Frogman - it does look like an ET2 to me - but I took my reference from their website directly. Mikro Seiki RX-1500 FVG turntable with three arms and cartridges that were, SME V arm and Dynavector XV-1S Ruby, ET2.5 arm and Dynavector XV-1T, Zeta arm and Kiseki Purpleheart Sapphire. The HP 2 is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a 2.5 Oh I agree - and does another audio product exist - that in pictures is so easy to mistake I ask ? In person they are very clear. |
does another audio product exist - that in pictures is so easy to mistake I ask ? I guess I really meant to say "tonearm" instead of audio product :^) Skill testing question - this is for non ET2, ET2.5 owners only. Halcro? Nikola? DG ? Lew? Banquo363, Timeltel ......... Syntax... I am calling out to you too....all others? In this picture which is the 2.5 and why ? http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/i/f/1384998156.jpg |
