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 ?

Hi,

First time poster in this area.

Question

Anyone experiencing delays receiving arm parts from ET for their ET arms?

I have had my Sota /ET2 at The Analog Room for over 2 months. Requires a part from ET. Brian at Analog keeps calling ET and told part will arrive next week. This has continued for 2 months.

Thanks for the tip CT. Will call Bruce.

Dealer is very well known in this community. He makes calls every week.
Bruce no longer has vmail; it just rings or someone picks up.

I have purchased items from Bruce directly, like the carbon fiber arm, new weights, wand, and air pressure gauge. I really working with Bruce, but wasn't sure why this long shipping delay has occurred.

This go around I wanted dealer to accurately setup the touchy Sota/et2, and it required an et piece that broke.
