Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners

Styrk  - came across this picture of a ET 2.0 on an RX 1500. It has an XV1 on it, and a custom armboard.  

RX-1500, ET 2.0, Dyna XV1 

The discussion for the picture, including some armboard details can be found here.   

They discuss 2.5 but that is a 2.0 in the picture as can be seen by how the end cap overlaps the spindle.  Hope this helps.

Thanks Chris 

I did see that picture but misted out on the discussion 
I have to read true that string. 

Have a feeling that the RX1500 is going to be a good stable platform for my ET2.5 ;-)

5000/8000 even better but $$$$ so that have to wait for now Think hard to get to.

Hi Chris,
Regarding my mod to get weight to the end of the plank for lighter cartridges, see the last picture on my virtual system page.  I'll try to describe here.  Go to your local auto tire store and get some stick-on wheel weights used on magnesium or aluminum wheels.  Take the base weight off of the ET weight clamp.  A portion of the wheel weight can be fashioned to exactly fit in the groove in the ET weight clamp.  Once this is done it is simply trial and error to trim the remaining portion of the wheel weight to the correct weight for your plank and cartridge.

The stick-on weights come in a single bar that is perforated so one, two or three can be broken off according to how much weight you need.  I started with two and shaped one to fit the groove, then trimmed what remained to get the correct weight.  Hope this is intelligible.

PS: Lead weights are easier to work with but harder to find here in the lower colonies since the government has decided that just touching lead will make us all brain damaged.

Cheers,
Harry

PPS:  Then, again maybe the government is correct.  How else can we explain how obsessive compulsive we ET II audiophiles are.
