Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
@rauliruegas " Techdas Airforce Zero speed inaccuracy -0.34% + 0.45% 0.79% speed inaccuracy Oma k3 +-0.34% 0.68% innacuracy. Much worse results. Got it? Can you see the measurements right in from of your eyes? This are the true facts, not i... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
@dover You said the weakness of the 124 is the belt. I agree. In fact I was just wondering if I could build some kind of kevlar belt for it. Something more stable. Belts are definitely a problem. Also interesting point you mentioned regarding the...

@mijostyn Idler drives don’t rumble if you know how to make a few modifications. Btw did I ever say antique turntables are superior? Don’t put words in my mouth. Anyway you are being too passive agressive and I have no interest in engaging with yo... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Speed stability is not the only factor to sound quality, there are other important things too, we can all agree on that. But the only thing I can think the 927 has in favor besides the high torque is the much lower deviation from a perfect 33.33 a...

@lewm Hi, keep in mind i’m only speaking in terms of measurements, not at all claiming my Thorens is better sounding or anything. I’m also well aware that the Garrards and Lencos are considered superior to the 124. All i’m saying is that with rega... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Think about it. Modern turntables of today come with tighter bearing tolerances. Much heavier platters. Vacuum suction. Air bearings. Magnetic bearings. High torque motors etc etc. Yet all fail at that test. Take a look at the measurements of all ...

Hi @thuchan . Do you happen to have a speed deviation measurement device like a shaknspin? I believe the magic number lies in the speed deviation %. That which Idlers rule above other drives with their high revving motors. Yes DD drives are also... 
3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢
With regards to speed stability only 3 tables I believe take the crown. Rockport Sirius III Grand Prix Audio TTs Wave Kinetics Reference All in the 0.000~% (according to their measurements of course) The OMA, Techdas and SAT measure measure r... 
3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢
My Thorens TD 124mkII, not even working at a full 100% is giving me readings of +- 0.04% speed variations. Wow 0.03. I’m confident i’ll be lowering those numbers even Further with a few mods. 1500 rpm 4 pole motor = no cogging. Same with lencos an... 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
Hi Erik,Have you heard of the Sumiko speaker setup method? I’ve been reading/hearing great things on the web. Apparently it drastically expands the sweetspot and stabilizes the image over a wider space. I’ll be trying to execute it in the next few... 
NAD 316 And Spade Terminals
I have a 316 v2 also. I'm afraid you can't use spades. Only bananas.
