ET 2 Owners - feedback please

Hello. I also use the ET-2 with a homemade surge tank and feel that the surge tank is a very worthwhile upgrade,offering better dynamic range and focus to the sound.Precision set up is imperative with most any table/arm combination but it is of paramount importance with the ET-2.When the arm was first introduced it was commonly sold with the VPI suspension tables and was just about impossible to get it set up right.Much akin to the old Linn lp-12 scenario...Very much a hit and miss situation and one that inevetably would go out of adjustment regularly due to the suspended chassis.The simple fact of the matter is: Do "NOT" use the ET-2 on suspended tables! The tonearm must be "exactly" level to get the best out of it.When precisely set up properly...I personally feel it is as good as anything out there!It is a very versatile tonearm and will get the best out of most any catrtridge on the market regardless of compliance.As most of you veteran analogue users know...cartridge compliance and tonearm matching are of paramount importance!If you own one of the many fine suspension tables,I would suggest using one of the other fine tonearms out there as the ET-2 will just frustrate you to "no end"! Best of Luck Cheers David.

Hi Squidboy. I went to walmart and bought an automotive air tank and simply changed the fittings to accomodate the air hose from the pump to the tank.Then threaded an industrial air regulator valve to regulate the air out to the tonearm.Total cost was about $45.00.Anyone using an et-2 should do this as the improvement is more than suttle on a high resolution rig.A friend did the same thing with a barbecue tank.Hope this helps. Cheers David
