| EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT? Well, when you listen to it and you think you hear great Bass, *ahem*, it is not the Kingsway Hall. You hear the vibrations from the rim, some call it PRAT, others call it distortions. The main reason why the German Broadcast Studios sold them pre... | |

Quality of wire, cathodes, plates, durability...Low noise (ask Aesthetix Callisto owners, they can tell you something about that), low microphonics, maybe shock resistance and so on.forget the pricing for NOS, turn back the t... | |
| EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT? Well, it depends. On one side we have those who prefer the old units (better quality, Studio Standard, all of today is not worth the money ...) and you find others who say, Studio Standard has nothing to do with sound quality in first place.

| Correcting drifting with Sutherland Timeline I use the Timeline, too. A very useful product, you can "see" the difference between Belts, new ones, older ones and what I like most, the correct speed when the needle is running in the groove. That is a difference compared to other alignment sys... | |
| Power cord used with phono pre- amp? I bet you have done a lot of cable comparisons on your way to nirvana.Hi AQ4L :-),well, honestly, yes, some. But I am not a cable fanatic, I think the best investment is in better electronics. Cables are normally used to compensate something weak... | |
| Power cord used with phono pre- amp? The problem with "this" kind of "upgrade" is, that it won't survive a comparison with another piece of electronics which is done better internally.But anyway, from my experience, best for bang you can do is to replace the connector only. I use Oya... | |
