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, could you tell me which of my post you find offending and maybe why? I have no problem with disagreement. But I know sometimes my tiredness of repeated misinformation pushes me for words that fit my feelings. :-/

Personally, I like a little mileage :-)

I also have no problem with a little mileage...as long as properly maintained, .....and with records. :^)
Regarding your photograph, Frogman...
A real audiophile is one who looks first at the turntable and tonearm in the background. I - almost - did.

The woman in Frogman's link is unique and special. It's obvious to me that she knows how to handle a record. After all do you want your expensive albums to really end up

like this?

Probably a fun night..but I think you will hate yourself in the morning. Seriously now, is there a finer sight than a woman that knows how to properly handle a record ?
This is very important as it also means she will be able to handle something else really well too. :^)

I of course refer to sensitive Audiophile feelings and fragile ego's. What were "you" thinking?
