Nude Turntable Project
Very interesting indeed the conclusion to this magnetic matter could prove to be groundbreaking? 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Some mentions here on the Bavarian voice even if off the 927 topic! they do call for some clarification. Thuchans speakers use the same design as vitavox folded bass horn just like Kevin Scott's, then Iwata horn, directional horn, etc....the resem... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
You are referring to the 927 used with the 139st phono stage? Thuchan runs his r80 without the Emt phono so his valid judgement(s) is (are) about the deck vs other decks playing with his various step up and phono combos. The Emt 139 lacks high end... 
EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT?
The 950 was fitted as general rule with MC boards. MC boards were the standard (EMT did not produce any MM cartridges) Clients that used MM boards used various MM cartridge makes (various solutions to adapt load to specifics)The 950's that host MM... 
EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?
So EMT leads to many things...Agree Dertonarm "but each x-over point less is certainly an asset to the performance" and we seek for that "perfect" driver that will span as many octaves as possible. But nothing new "Entia non sunt multiplicanda pra... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
A few:EMT 927st with 139st phono, ortofon RMA297 and EMT cartridges based on pressing at play.Kanno K597 Field coild tweeters even if the original WE or GIP are said to better, can't see how. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Ongaku with Amperex VT4c's 
Phono stage to match the EMT TSD-15 SFL ?
Maybe try the EMT 139st and its seperate power supply new made by Van Vliet?

Geoch,Well at one time I played a/b between Micro Seiki SX8000 and fully serviced well plinthed (slate) good armed (FR66s or Davinci Grandezza) finely tipped Garrard 301. Some advised me "now way" oh are you crazy, never....well it was close for m...

Hi Bourse,Yes we are meeting here...going from east to west! How are the French lessons going? May need to learn German myself as all this hammertone stuff is well documented! Need to hear the 5 way YL/AN horned system....Take care

I would be cautious when securing any EMT R80 or 927. the guys who have them tend to hold onto them....so those out there are hard to come by or there is a reason attached.The last ebay ones were in very bad condition. Remember that the 927 has th...

Thuchan, Have you tried the 927 with the plexiglass-plate? That does decrease the weight. Some people say that glass on platters is "wrong" but the studio turntables EMT 927 were delivered for the disc-recording industry as a measurement studio tu...

For servicing EMT's in the US I would contact Dusch directly, he will be of assistance http://www.emt-profi.de/welcome.htmBut in reality look at these PDF's http://www.hans-fabritius.de/en/emt.html at the bottom of the page and it gives the servic...

Thuchan, Not many visitors here can even get close to any single source that your room hosts. You have trained yorself to the best, experiencing pieces that are from dreams. Therefore maybe not easy to join views in this arena? We are both fortuna... 
Stand out phono stages
11flat6,The Kondo had standard tubes. Depending on when they are built these can be EH (Gold pins) or even JJ ones....crazy and makes you wonder if all the hype on NOS tubes is real??? Anyway I have played with Kondo preamps, like Ongaku, Gakuon, ...
