cartridge for Eminent Technology ET2 tonearm?

Denon 103, whichever version you fancy. Sean

The lower the compliance of the cartridge, the more suitable it will be for use with this arm. If using the damping trough with the ET II, this increases the range of varying compliances that you can use, but i would still stick with a low to medium compliance design for best results. Medium-high to high compliance designs should be avoided like the plague with this arm due to the mass involved and the resonant frequencies that will result.

As a side note, i suggested the Denon 103 as it has excellent bass and transient response, which will be quite noticeable with full-range type speakers. One can tailor the high frequency response of the cartridge to suit their listening preferences via adjusting cartridge loading in the phono stage. On top of that, this is an inexpensive cartridge that works very well. Familiarizing yourself with the use of this arm without having to worry about damaging a mega-dollar cartridge can make listening to music a lot more relaxing.

If you wanted to spend more money, you might want to look into the ZYX cartridge line that Frogman mentions. These cartridges will work very well both mechanically and sonically in an arm & audio system like yours. Some of the more expensive Lyra designs are also very nice sounding, but they are also on the leaner side as compared to the Denon's and ZYX's. I've no experience with the Shelter's, but from what i've read, they might be a very suitable candidate also. Sean

Good for you Alan. I would recommend experimenting with cartridge loading once you get the Denon installed. There seems to be a general consensus as to where this cartridge tends to work and sound best in terms of a loading range, but this will vary with personal preference and system response characteristics.

Out of curiosity, where did you order it from? Sean
