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 ?

Seeing a 8 year old thread that's still going with the OP is encouraging.
Having a little time on my hands, the thought of my own franken table(10 year old VPI Classic) with a linear arm, intrigues me.
Who in SoCal has the knowledge to do such as mod?Since Berdan is a different place now, who is the linear god in LA?
Just kickin around random thoughts...
I haven't done anything audio for awhile.
