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 ?

I was kind of dreading any responses but was ultimately disappointed that there were really no responses.

Slaw to add to Richard and Frogman's comments.
imo - It is always better to give than to receive. Meaning rewarding - gut feel stuff.
You gave "the gift" as far as this hobby is concerned to me.
Music that touched you and you put it out there.
IMO - you can't get more personal and giving to others than this in this hobby.
Never expect anything back.
I hope to see more recommendations from you.

The marker you gave 'O'(I can't duplicate it), followed by mad scientists, .....

Copy and paste from Harold's post.

`Ö´

In Windows: Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>Character Map (Sometimes called 'Keyboard Map')

I changed it up. can't find the marks on either end that Harold used ?

I'll bet there's some passion for music there! Jazz, in particular. Huh, you say? Look up the original meaning of the word as used by musicians :-)

could this be the other thing I think of, other than running, :^) when I see Dorothy ?

Frogman can you provide us with a music selection that in your opinion exemplifies this...

I am in big, big doo doo if my wife ever find this thread.
