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

@chowkwan 

Thank you for your kind words.

I have also some customers who ran ET2's on Oracles - it is not ideal due to the lossy suspension and the shifting mass of the ET as it tracks across the record.

The ET must be perfectly level at all times, otherwise it loads up the cartridge laterally.

Personally I prefer the ET on turntables that have no suspension, or at least a "hung" suspension like the SME or Basis Debut.

If you do want to run it on the Oracle you may need to run the suspension a bit stiffer than normal to keep it stable. I have not seen the latest versions of the Oracle so this may be tempered somewhat.

Hi @dover Though I'd make a guest appearance.

The ET arm does not work well on any turntable. It is a terrible design based on wishful thinking by people who fail to grasp the physics involved. The problems created by such a design are far worse than the insignificant amount of tracking error pivoted arms create. 

Save yourself the misery and get a Kuzma 4 Point 9.

@chowkwan, the Orbe SE is modified with a Gert Pedersen kit that transforms the TT (no springs part of it), https://www.pedersensgyro.dk/

The cartridge is a DS Audio W2, an optical transducer that benefits from no anti-skating forces of a properly setup ET2.

The force generated by the friction between stylus and groove while playing an LP is usually termed the skating force.  The force we apply in our half-assed efforts to equalize it is "anti-skating".  delm, I am sure you know this.  Just wanted to keep our terms defined.

Do you happen to have any info on what’s required to fit an ET2 to an early Basis Audio Debut Sig with vacuum platter? I have a Graham 2.2 on the Basis and an ET2 on a TNT MKI and wondered what would be involved in swapping them around.
