Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners


Where are you? What mods have you done ?

I have been using these ET2's for over 9 years now.
I am still figuring them out and learning from them. They can be modified in so many ways. Bruce Thigpen laid down the GENIUS behind this tonearm over 20 years ago. Some of you have owned them for over 20 years !

Tell us your secrets.

New owners – what questions do you have ?

We may even be able to coax Bruce to post here. :^)

There are so many modifications that can be done.

Dressing of the wire with this arm is critical to get optimum sonics along with proper counterweight setup.

Let me start it off.

Please tell us what you have found to be the best wire for the ET-2 tonearm ? One that is pliable/doesn’t crink or curl. Whats the best way of dressing it so it doesn’t impact the arm. Through the spindle - Over the manifold - Below manifold ? What have you come up with ?

I will try to post in this old thread :)

I have ET 2.5. with high pressure manifold for shop compressor installed on Nakamichi Dragon-CT. Bought new directly from ET. Works fine for about 18 years and no problems at all. I use oilless compressor with 40L tank and few filters in path.

Well... this stuff ist still interesting:
2374 answers... but -
after 48 sides & 2374 answers there are probably not too many new questions to be asked.
Or do you have a question?
