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 ?

@ct0517 ,

IMO, Going further, you/one should differentiate these important differences before a recommendation?  Right?

I gave you my opinion on my experiences with the Timeter Aridyne 3000, which I had acquired used. I had a virtual system even then, and you could see the model.

I don't work for Timeter, am not familiar, still to today, with all the products they make, and frankly don't need to know. I provide opinions on gear I actually own, or have owned.

I would assume anyone buying anything, that is another model, yet alone a different line of product from a company, is doing the research themselves on the unit, before acquiring it.
