New cartridge for Eminent Technology ET2


I am running an MC Sigma Genesis 2000 on an ET 2 with the damping trough on a heavily modded HW19 MK IV. All purchased together over 25 years ago. I have all the original kit that came with the ET2.

I am thinking of upgrading to the heavier and lower compliance Hana Umami Red.

Caveats, recommends, etc?  

I have glanced at the very extensive ET tonearm thread and would rather not read all 47 pages. I've gleaned I need the magnesium tonearm and should lose the trough.

I am not familiar with the ET arm, but I do have  a MC Sigma Genesis cart and think it is one of the greats of all time. I had Soundsmith retip mine and they did a great job. You might want to consider the same if you really like the cartridge, which I'm told was made by Zyx.

Appreciate advice. My dealer is going to do that but I thought I would also seek input using this knowledge base.
