Upgrading ET-2 tonearm to something better


I have had my ET-2 arms for 25 plus years.

What is there today that is better?     Does Tri-planar, Graham, SME V, Kuzma, Schroeder etc. eat the ET-2 lunch?  Which one?

Thank you

Fermi has stated: ''If I was smarter I could remember more of those

particles''. It is not possible to remember all improvements made

to ET-2 despite the fact that this thread was second after MM thread. 

@dcaudio , If you have the room the Schroder LT is the one to go for. Your table will have to be able to take a 12" arm. If not the Kuzma 4 point 9, the Schroder CB or the Tri Planar will be fine. 

Thank you.  Good responses.  I believe ET-2 is a very good arm and your comments confirm.  Also DS Audio 003 is an amazing cartridge.

Thank you for your support!

As Dover points out, it is more than just very good. Properly set up, it will be hard to beat…at any price. You may find this thread of interest; just about everything related to it has been covered:

 

Nonsense, the ET of any vintage is a terrible arm for a number of reasons. My suggestion is sell it and forget it. You will not be sorry.
