Thanks to all have contributed to this thread. I guess that I am in the minority in never hearing any of these great tables. Lewm, aren't you around NYC somewhere? I travel there sometimes and would love to hear your array of turntables. I think the EMT in Stereo Sound was the 930st. Pricing itself is not always the best indicator. My experience is my former vintage audio collection. The most expensive items weren't necessarily the best. While I immensely enjoyed owning the JBL Paragon, it wasn't the best JBL speaker that I owned (old Style Hartsfields which were also expensive.) I couldn't tell you that the Marantz 9's were better than the 2's or 8b. I have combed the internet for data and have exchanged emails with Stefano Pasini who I must thank for his speedy response. It was my hope for people who have heard a much wider array of the best turntables to express their thoughts.
EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT?
Are the EMT turntables as good as the great Micro Seiki turntables, or the Pioneer Exclusive P3, or any of the other great vintage turntables. How would they stack up to today's modern turntables? I realize there are many different turntables in the EMT line. I have been reading that the 930st or the 950 seem to be the one's to buy with the 927 being quite rare and very expensive. Could someone take the mystery out of this line? Are they more collectible than sonically relevant?
