How to adjust height of Eminent Technology ET-2 tonearm
Hi Dave The entire arm assembly needs to be raised by that much. Bruce Thigpen designed 3 adjustment holes specifically for that purpose in the Joint..... also known as the "Gooseneck". See the linked picture. https://photos.app.goo.gl/yss4o759RiGHtNky7 |

Don’t re-tighten too much, which is a mistake many novices make. Thank you! Now to further demonstrate my lack of experience, can you please tell (or show) me exactly where the "arc block screw" is? |

It was in the top hole with the prior cartridge. I need a way to pull the entire ET-2 assembly up about 3mm. With all the possible adjustments provided by this arm, I would think this would be an easy fix! |

This gives you a removable reference point. Not much guessing. You'll only get this here.That sounds like a great idea! Now, if I only knew how to get to the "arc block post" to use this tip! |
See the Bolt in the smaller Blue Circle. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hGcy2jPkRL7BYD7z7 It is important to try to keep the air bearing midpoint (inscribed line on casing) level with the record. I recommend you skim through the manual to understand what the adjustments do before attempting to adjust the tonearm. The tonearm is Unique - One of Kind and for this reason you should not start fiddling with it before you understand its design. What turntable - does it have a removeable armboard ? |
