recommended cartridge for ETII tonearm

Hello Alun. I use an original koetsu rosewood [circa 1980]in my ET-2. When I had to send it to Japan for a rebuild, I used both the shelter 501 and a grado statement with very good results. The et-2 lends itself to a wide assortment of different cartridges.Hopefully others will chime in here. All the best.

Alun, I've used a Grado Reference/Reference (1.5mv) on the ET-2 arm with very good success. As Ecclectique says, I think a wide range of cartridges will work well on this table.

I concur with the above comments.

At the time I had my et-2, I was most frequently running wood bodied Benz (an M0.9). I heard wonderful sounds coming out of my former collaborator's et-2 with an Ortofon SPU Royal N which is on the stiff side of a Koetsu.

So ... good results I've heard have been from medium to fairly low compliance. I'll leave it to others to comment on high compliance cartridges.

Cheers,

Thanks for the replies, I'm wondering what is considered "medium to low" compliance?
