I think I've got the 2.0 with the magnesium arm. All my spindles are the same size
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 ?

"All my spindles are the same size" maybe they are all 2.5's manitunc? :^) my ET 2.0 spindle appears to be about 5/8 inch. The 2.5 is about 3/4 inch. Here is a picture of the inside that ketchup was nice enough to post earlier on. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj177/picswamp/20121124_150329s_zps44708d12.jpg If you push yours out you can see the condition of it and determine if it needs cleaning. Bruce used to put the initials HP on 2.0 and 2.5 manifolds to indicate high pressure versions. |
Yeah, I am now looking into creating an air supply system to run all 3 off a single supply. I intend to include separate filters for each arm and central water collection off the surge tank. I have a medical grade air pump, but I could just use my Wisas, either alone or parallel into the surge tank. I need to get a better guage and regulator to try playing with different air pressures. right now I only have one running, on the PTP Lenco L75 along with a Helius Aurora 10". I need to go back through this thread one evening to remind myself of the various tweaks others have found helpful. |
