...and I'm the "bad guy"?
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 ?

Slaw, sometimes the best course of action is to look the other way and ignore silly provocations. In spite of that, and as I have said before, I continue to feel that you may have some interesting input for this thread given the passion for music and this hobby that you have demonstrated at times. It is for that reason, and in the hope of keeping things on a more positive track, that I will address your concern. Ever since my post of 8-03-15, and one which seems to have caused you some consternation, we have discussed or touched upon the subjects of diction, bullfrogs, herrons, wives, beer (and the provenance of one), the cost of trout, and even the fact that it is drummers who get the best chicks. Oh, yeah, almost forgot, we also discussed silly things like musicians' timing, musicianship in general and received invaluable set-up tips and a great deal of very interesting data for and about the world's greatest tonearm; AND welcomed two new participants to the thread. Is it any wonder that this continues to be one of the most interesting threads here? So, given this veritable cornucopia of interesting topics, why you choose to stay on the dark side is a bit of a mystery to me. I won't take your obvious confusion about our "private" "conflict" (your words, not mine) personally; but, while I prefer to keep these things private, you have made them public so I need to set the record straight. From my Audiogon inbox, correspondence from you to me in reference to the "material" you sent me: --------------------------------- slaw February 15, 2014 1:17pm (****) Just keep it. I need to not be stressed out. ---------------------------------- I am sure that you simply forgot about this part of our correspondence and if you would like further discussion about my impressions of the sonic effects of using the 6"x10" (or so) piece of plastic material that you sent me let's please do it privately. I think this thread is better served by sticking to discussions about matters related to the great ET2 or fun and friendly banter. BTW, Chris, whoever said it was drummers who get the best chicks? I always thought the saxophone was the best chick magnet. Just ask my wife :-) |
So is that guy in the video on anything Frogman ...or maybe his pants too tight for the family jewels ? Chick Magnet ?? :^( Not.... I am getting a lot of mileage out of Dorothy ... don't you think ? SLAW Sorry things did not work out for u Slaw. At least it was with a $100- 200 bought used pump ? I mean it could have been worse. I don't know. How about an expensive record cleaning machine ? As always use discretion to ensure the condition is good. Buy from a trusted seller. The Aridyne Timeter Line work great on the ET 2 delivering Arizona like air. Timeter is part of the Allied Healthcare group. To talk with a live person about parts and support just call them direct. Allied Healthcare 1720 Sublette Avenue St. Louis, MO 63110 314-771-2400 800-444-3954 They are very generous with their time. Have a look at the one on the left. A'gon'er Banquo363 owns that beast. |
