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 ?

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? |
Fall is in the air. Felt like shopping this morning. Here are Four opportunities Gents and (Ladies) First one in the US. Damn that US dollar. A Base ET2 with the HPM (manifold) version (from the description). Includes damping trough You can tell it is a base ET2 and not the ET 2.5 by the overlapping (over the spindle) counterweight cap. The parts look clean, clean, clean .... Comes with extra leaf spring I Beams. But they appear to be all singles. Those on the thread that have possibly been confused by our discussion of this advanced setup - see the pics in the ad. *************************** Second One - ITALY ET 2.0 that was upgraded to an 2.5 (according to the seller in the ad) Google translation is also my friend :^) Not sure if it is a HPM model. Ask the seller. *************************** Third Opportunity - USA A Base ET2 - includes damping trough. Part of an elaborate setup. Here the pump has more value than the arm to the seller. (I like his speakers which can be seen - just saying) *************************** Fourth Opportunity - GREECE This fellow has already had 9 offers according to the ad. A Base ET2 with High Pressure manifold and includes damping trough. Have a look at the manifold. It has a Green bubble level on it. You CANNOT do the final set up of the arm this way. (This will not take into account the wire influence) Just saying....:^) Happy Hunting & (not affiliated with any of the ads) |
