This is the story of an audiophile called Dorothy and her ET2, a tonearm she has owned for many years. For the first few years she used a light MM cartridge and used only 2 of the 4 lead weights supplied positioned in the middle of the I beam. “It...

What an extraordinary hobby this is. RK and I share this wonderful aluminum ET2 Gooseneck that he made - I really like it. At this current (snapshot) in time however;RK’s tonearm objective is adding more control and damping to his Krebs Arm. I mea...

Manitunc – just a note on my last post. If it works its the original ET2 manifold. If it needs a higher pressure to work you have a HP manifold.If we are talking about an older ET2 arm it may need more pressure because of it being dirty. Its a go...
