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 ?

Chris, 

Thank you for all of the excellent information. I understand where you're coming from. I really didn't think that you'd take my posts that seriously, it was meant to be somewhat humorous, yet I was hoping anyone reading might share their experience with a London on either table/or arm I mentioned.

IMO, it's worth the cost to get a DB System alignment gauge for the ET. May be able to print something off of www.vinylengine.com

If I understand your issue correctly it looks as if the cueing support has been turned which causes the armwand to rest lower at the cartridge end. Some of your pictures show that support in a different position. Just turn it until you obtained your desired resting position.
