| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? orpheus10,I am 54 years old. I was a professional musician for years and have been in this music/hi-fi hobby since the mid 70's. Honestly, I am embarrassed when I think of all the money and systems that I used to own.I started with Sansui and wh... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Sonicbeauty,Keep in mind this is a forum, where we all have opinions, likes and dislikes. There are no 'absolutes' when it comes to ones tastes or preferences and there are no 'rights and wrongs' either. I used to own an large expensive McIntosh... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? nandric,That's taken completely out of context. The question was "Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?" So, it's a question, not a statement.Logically then, we can easily conclude that it is a question he is personally pondering given h... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Sonicbeauty,If you've read even some of these post you will find that it's not just one set of ears, or one room, or one cartridge. Many here agree with Thuchans thoughts on the EMT. Those that haven't heard one for themselves can take comfort in... | |
| thorens or emt? You you might want to pm Thuchan here on agon. He has owned both and I know he kept the 927. You can also check out his blog. Google 'audiocirc'. Always a good read .There is also a long thread here from Thuchan on the EMT. Definitely worth rea... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Henry,Thanks for the photos. I especially like the custom arm pods. Looks tremendous. I would imagine that Thuchans sounds excellent as well. I have heard many good arguments about using arm pods as this de-couples the turntable plinth from the... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? halcro,Obviously I had no idea and was way off the mark. It also makes more sense now. I am really intrigued by this table. This morning I was scanning the Internet to see how available they are. I see that yours is in a open style plinth, whi... | |
| How does the Phase Linear 400 compare? I had a Phase Linear addiction for years, which was replaced by a McIntosh addiction which was replaced by a Citation addiction which was replaced by Krell addiction etc.I liked the sound of Phase Linear amps. The 400, 700B and especially the Dual... | |
| Revolver Rebel Turntable and "too much cartridge"? darkstar1 makes some valid points. The Rebel was a lower end table, but if memory serves me right it was well received. I I think your turntable is certainly good enough to benefit from a cartridge upgrade. And I'm not sure what darkstar1 meant ab... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Eckarts in Germany, halcro is in Australia, and I am in the U.S. shaking my head after reading the comparison. (thank you.. very well done)I am surprised that the little Victor gets such high praise. I believe that the Victor 101 was the JVC QL-1... | |
| Hunting for 1st pressings I agree with inna, first pressinigs almost always sound better. I have even come across a few 'well used' first pressings that are astonishingly good after a cleaning. I almost always seek them out. In my collection, the first pressings are alway... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Lewm,You're not suggesting that your Victor is as good as your SP-10 are you?Norman | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Thuchan,Was that a Cobra arm that I seen you using with the Victor? I was impressed by your efforts to rebuild/restore and modify the Victor, but I am wondering if it could possibly be as good as your direct drive Denon broadcast table?I look for... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Pryso,Some really good points. I thought they would go in the direction of the SP-10, or the SL-1000. I'm sure that would have caused them to miss their targeted audience as the price point would have been at least double of what they are asking ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Lewm,Thuchan certainly has an eclectic collection of turntables. I never really understood why he did the Victor, but a good direct drive does have its place. I personally loved the Sony broadcast table he had for a bit as well. With regard to th... |
