I have NOT read through this ..'extensive' thread, but I wonder if anyone is still using the ET2 with a Linn table. Back in the day, this was a pretty common combo...and one that worked very well. Today's Linn is far more transparent and resolving than the vintage model that typically had the ET2 arm back in the day. So, another question would be how great the arm would sound on a current Linn Radikal D Klimax version..and if anyone has actually tried that?
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 ?
