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 ?

If that is the case and depending what the reverb seller would drop too it sounds like an excellent buy.
Lol, what's money, when it's gone it's gone!
Glad there are some decent members here who are genuinely concerned for other fellow members welfare and possible state of mind down the road!

Yes it is not a decision to make lightly, the linear tracking route, mainly why I still have not decided.
I can be reckless at times but this goes against everything I know and have grown comfortable with so it would be a whole new wide world out of my normal comfort zone.

I know there is support and assistance only an email or phone call away but still......

If I decide to swing for an ET2 based table, I might have to send you a plane ticket to Jacksonville.......
Well I guess the seller got all huffy at my offer ( which was not that low imho).
He responded with the fact that he had already reduced from 2k to 1799 and was not open to any further reductions.
When I then pointed out that he still had his listing stating or best offer, he then blocked me from making any future offers or dealings with him.

TBH with that type of attitude I think I got away with a potential headache if lets say had been damaged in transit etc.
Sorry Chris but looks like I am still on the outside looking in!

Glad you got the Savannah settled in after all!
Try life with 2 Savannah and 2 Bengals.
Makes for fun vinyl times!
Ok interrupt over!
