Taking the thoughts above to the extreme.. think of using the very best material directly under a spinning platter/bearing, that one has found in their system testing to be their most favorable. Taking that material solely as the platters' base and machining it in the very best way in order to drain resonance away, my feeling is the end sound would not be very pleasing. This goes to my/others' over-riding point of the delicate balance in mating/using differing materials in order to achieve best sound. Resonance is a necessary factor in good sound. The controlling of resonance is the on-going/hard to grasp issue.
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 ?
