Well,...maybe the Jun-Air could be of more help there...? Hmmm?
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 ?

Came into my inbox this morn. $65.00 only 534 hours. If someone is interested just verify with seller that the Timeter compressor runs in the green. The picture of the performance gauge shows red. It was probably just turned on. Pickup from a North Carolina location. |
Harry - my timeter 3000 resides in the bowels of our basement in a corner. A lonely place. Every fall when listening season starts, I make my way down there. You know, I can swear I thought I saw a troll down there one year? So I have removed some of the insulation out of mine years ago. It is louder than normal, but this is not a problem due to the distance. If I hold the SPL meter 1 foot away from the box it says 68-70 db. • 10 dB: Normal breathing • 20 dB: Whispering from five feet away • 30 dB: Whispering nearby • 40 dB: Quiet library sounds • 50 dB: Refrigerator • 60 dB: Electric toothbrush • 70 dB: Washing machine • 80 dB: Alarm clock • 90 dB: Subway train • 100 dB: Factory machinery • 110 dB: Car horn • 120 dB: Ambulance siren ********************* Now @banquo363 posted db level using his 2000 Model Timeter It hasn't been bastardized like mine. from that link 1. in the same room, from 6ft away: 64dB 2. from the other side of the wall, with door closed: 52dB. 3. from my seat ~40ft away, I can't hear it at all. |
