Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12

The ET arm and a Linn LP12 are a tried and true combo. I have heard this set up in a few occasions, it worked quite well. The ET arm can be a pain to maintain and keep set up, but the synergy between the arm and table..  no problem.

 @ct0517  My personal experience, lol.

you ask this question as if it is a challenge. 

Funny how this this kind of attitude is fairly prevalent these days on forums....what’s with this attitude?

since you asked, my experience with this set up is extensive, firstly I have a friend who owns this exact set up, he enjoys it immensely. Secondly, this exact set up was utilized at the audio store Stereo Design for years back in the day, where I heard it on several occasions. To top that, I own a LP12 Radikal D with a well tempered black arm, this arm was ‘AB’ ed against the ET 2 before purchase. I slightly preferred the Well tempered...and I totally prefer the ease of set up and not having to concern myself about leaky air hoses etc.

i could ask you the same question...what’s your experience with the combo of ET2 and Linn, but that might be very presumptive of me...no??

@ct0517 The fact that you may not like the idea of mounting an arm that needed constant tweaking and maintenance doesn’t NOT make it tried and true! This combo was utilized extensively back when the ET2 arm was popular, and as I stated...it worked well from a SQ perspective. That fact makes it tried and true.
The OP asked about what people thought about the combo...clearly someone had told him that the combo could work...and so he wanted feedback on it.
You ask what were the mounting options....if I remember correctly all of the arms were mounted such that the base was at the rear of the arm board and the arm(bearing rail) extended across the back of the table...not in the traditional manner, wherein the arm extended towards the front ( although in this way, the actual arm of the ET2 did extend towards the front of the table....like all other arm mounts.). This arrangement allowed the arm to transverse across the platter from the right to the left...and it worked well.

Since you don’t own a Linn, can we come to the conclusion that you actually have very minimal experience with it and are just here conjecturing opinions, based on no real understanding or experience!

@testpilot  Your point about a number of arms working well with the Linn isn't actually correct. Unfortunately the opposite is more accurate..there are few arms that work well with the Linn! The Linn suspension requires an arm that is not only light weight, but also has the wiring to it in such a fashion as that it cannot impact the suspension. Many a great arm won't actually work on the Linn..
The OP happened to ask about an arm ( the ET2) that can work on the table, although I think there are better alternatives available today. 
As a 'Linnie', it is my biggest complaint to Linn, that the actual arms that are supplied and available that work with the table...are in fact far less able than the table itself!
IMHO, the basic platform deserves a much better option than the Ekos SE-1, as an example.

Just to clarify a few points...I think that while the ET2 arm can and does work on a LP12, it is far from being an ideal matchup. The synergy between the two pieces is ok, but I do want to stress that IMO there are better options for this table. One such option is mentioned above...the Naim Aro.

@pkvintage   Good move. While I think that the ET2 arm may have given you a bit more SQ than the Audio Note, I also think the odds were a LOT higher that you would regret the decision- what with the mounting issues, the ongoing maintenance and so on with the ET arm.
Enjoy the new AN arm.
