Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable?

Both arm and turntable are still made.

Nothing in the Audiogon ET 2.5 discussion group about this particular combination.

You probably need to make an armboard. The dimensions to locate the arm are in the ET 2 manual.  I made one from strips (for seasonal stability) of birch for an Michell Orbe SE.

@delm thanks for the response. How did the ET 2 arm work with the Michell Orbe? What cartridge are you using?

Wow. What a match!!! I would say no, because the ET justifies a much better TT, and the Transcriptors has a springy suspension which may be thrown out of balance by the heavier than average ET. The Transcriptors was indeed a wonder when it was au courant, and I owned one too, but the design is flawed, though beautiful and stimulating to watch in action. Not that it matters, but I also think the two together would look rather odd, because they emanate from two totally different schools of audio design.
