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 ?

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. |
I do own that beast (the Timeter aridyne 2000), it's a wonderful beast. I use it to concurrently run an et2 (HPM), an et 2.5, and a pneumatic isolation platform. No problem. Unless it's a motor problem, pretty much everything else about these pumps is user serviceable. All the needed parts are available to order. Timeter wouldn't sell me parts (I have no idea why not) but rather sent me to a distributor--Mercury Medical. They were very nice, so in the end it was no big deal--and definitely worth the trouble. |
