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 ?

When are you guys coming over? :-)

Siriusly -hehe- when I had Bruce, no -- not that Bruce -- from Stereo Unlimited in San Diego set-up my deck, ET2 with VPI HW-19 Mk.IV, it sounded wonderful...

I'll get back to that sound, someday!

Thanks all for the great exchange of information :-)

Vbr,
Sam

Hi Chris,

The pressure gauge indicates the Wolfe-modified WISA pump operates satisfactorily; the system experiences a drastic pressure drop at the surge tank...there appears to be occlusion, there.

I'd like to keep the arm; however, at some point, I'll look for a non-suspended table :-)

It's in the forties, now...brrr.
