Upgrading ET-2 tonearm to something better

As Dover points out, it is more than just very good. Properly set up, it will be hard to beat…at any price. You may find this thread of interest; just about everything related to it has been covered:

Nonsense, the ET of any vintage is a terrible arm for a number of reasons. My suggestion is sell it and forget it. You will not be sorry. 

Well, THAT was an intelligent and useful comment! Curious, have you ever used a properly set up ET2?  Please enlighten me further.

I'll never part with my ET 2.5.  I've thought about it many times.  I've also have owned a Graham 2.5, SME V (while I had the ET 2.5).  The ET is still here, and own a VPI JMW-12 on a second table.  Good arm, but no ET 2.5

Wow. I loved my time w/et2. I sold it as package deal in the 90s. I just stopped doing analog during my child raising years. I would have zero issues returning to one given the years of killer sound it gave me. Some people's narrow definition of what works for everyone says more about them than the equipment being discussed. I trust my ears more than anyone's opinions or religion.
