Oh, lord, got two more et2s. Maybe one will be a 2.5 with the high pressure manifold. 3 more arm wands too, one definitely magnesium. Up to 5 now, so 2 go on the SP10mk2 and two on the Lenco PTP. Have to think about No.5. Maybe on the Empire 208. 
What Sets Price on Turntables?
yeah, sometimes I wonder about these threads that just die without resolution. Almost like an old girlfriend. I wonder what she's doing now. I wonder if Isaac found audio nirvana

Yeah, I am now looking into creating an air supply system to run all 3 off a single supply. I intend to include separate filters for each arm and central water collection off the surge tank. I have a medical grade air pump, but I could just use my...

Phonostage with dual inputs?
a Nikko beta I, II, III or IV has dual inputs with loading options for each and can be found under $300

Yeah, its the step that suggests to me its a magnesium arm, but it should arrive today, so I will check. That being said, is there any other difference between a 2 and a 2.5 than the spindle or manifold size?

It looks like the arm is the magnesium version. Isnt that what came with the 2.5? Is there any other way to tell? 
installing the SME V tonearm in the Technics SP10
The platter is 12.5" diameter, most are 12" or less. That, combined with the escutcheon makes many 9" arms hard to mount. I have a VPI 10.5 on my sp10, but it took some twisting.
