$10K budget? Look no further, EMT 948 NIB


So what does 10K buy in turntables these days? Tired of those look alike belt drive tables, the over priced Garrard idlers and the hum drum Technics DD tables?Want something that nobody in your gated community of McMansions has?
Well how about a brand new in the box EMT 948 direct drive studio turntable. Check out the pictures while they last. He says it’s complete but never shows a picture of the platter. More than likely an over site.
I doubt this will last long, stumbled on it looking at broadcast idlers.

On edit: There is the platter in the box.

Agree with Mike L. I would ditch the EMT tonearm and the built in phono stage. Then it would be interesting to compare it to a Mk3 or 10R in similar livery.
As long as you know that the SP10R is a modern turntable just recently introduced by technics which uses a coreless motor. I was not referring to a1970-vintage  SP 10 or an SP 10 Mk2. Now the old SP 10 Mk3 probably is on par with the SP 10 R. So long as you know all that then touché.  Have you heard both the new SP10R and the 948 in a system with which you are familiar? I have not.
Watch what you call “humdrum”, buddy, especially if you’re interested in broadcast idlers. I’d take an SP10R over that 948 any day, and for less money brand new with warranty.
