Anyone have any experience with Eminent Technology ET2 linear air

I see one on and older ('92 vintage) Sota Star TT at a local shop that
caught my eye.

Worth exploring?

It's a great tonearm. But what 'table would you put it on? Would you
buy the Sota too?

I was considering it, seems like possibly a good deal....but they
don't have it set up for listening and don't even know
what they had for a Sota Star. what version etc. I did a lot of
reading on Sota and wasn't all that impressed with their long history
of revisions and not so inexpensive upgrades.

They've had a Clearaudio Evolution with a tangent arm for months and
still don't have
it set up for listening either so I'm not holding my breath.

ET tonearms are usually good matches with VPIs. The Clearaudio 'tables
are hit-and-miss. Depends upon how you feel about the sound of
plexiglas "tables. You might not like the sound. They're not lively
and can often sound a little dull.

After hearing the Breuer arms, all other arms sound a little
uninteresting anyway, even my SME V.
