ET arms require a pump as the arm rides along a bearing of air. In addition it requires a tank and has about a 100 ft, hose which allows you to put the pump far enough away from the listening area as to not be disturbed by the sound of the pump. had enough yet? It also happens to be a great sounding arm when properly set up
How many you wax spinners know ET arms?
Trying to decide on my second and hopefully last table.Have a HO Grado Sonata ready to put on a 'table and really like the folks at VPI so I am trying to decide between a 19 VI and the aries.The I have thought if the Aries maybe the 12 vs the 10 Memorial.I guess the .5's rock but big$$$.Anyway I see a number of Eminent Technology ET2's mounted on 19'sfor about $1K.I have goode performance issues from folks but it looks a bit rube goldberg to me.Noise?Upkeep?I don't want to become the Linn folks constantly tweaking.I know the tables are a big differnece in price but what will give me biggest bang for buck?
