Another vote in favor of the ET2 and I agree with the positive comments made so far. Fantastic arm. I’ve owned Alphason MCS, Syrinx PU3, Grado, Premier MMT, SME V and a couple others and the ET2 (which I still use) is sonically superior to all of them; and not by a little. It lets my cartridges produce a stunning soundstage with none of the truncation in the corners that all others suffer from. Tonally, it is outstanding. Its bass performance, especially with the new(ish) long I-beam, is quick and natural; not lean like the Syrinx’s, nor overblown like the SME’s. I don’t know what mijo’s beef is with the ET2, but I too don’t think he knows what he is talking about. Always be skeptical of comments that deal only with supposed technical problems with a design and nary a word about the actual sound. Good luck.
