Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?

Dear @mikelavigne  : Good, that will be really interesting not only for you but for some of us.

Mike Lavigne, 
I have been scouring the internet looking up your turntable.. very impressive.  Maybe I missed it in a post, but I am curious which arm and cartridge you are using?

It’s so refreshing to see such a well designed table.  I look forward to hearing one. 

Yes, for what I read I would say this beast is definitely in the EMT R80/927 league.

 Very nice!

@normansizemore ,

thank you for the nice comments. at this point Saskia model two’s are quite scarce, and have not been shown at an audio show since 2015 i think.

currently i’m using the new Durand Tosca tone arm;

and the new Ortofon MC Anna Diamond cartridge;

Fremer just did a rave review on this new Anna D cart. i used the original Anna for a number of years as my reference, and this new one is really something special.

this particular Saskia model two came with 7 arm boards. the previous owner had quite the tone arm collection.

i had two of the arm boards modified for my current tone arms, and received the one for the Durand Tosca. and am waiting for the one for my other arm, the Durand Telos Sapphire, to arrive back from the turntable designer.

my plan is trying both of these arms and a few others as my budget allows over time. the Saskia i think is a great alternative to my long term reference turntable, the Wave Kinetics NVS direct drive. i’m just in the beginning stages of getting a feel for the differences between these 2 top level tt’s.

btw; there is a thread on the Saskia model two on another forum with pictures and more information; here is a link in case you missed it in your search;

I am preparing my EMT 927 to go back to it's homeland of Germany to spend some time at the Dusch family spa for a good tune up.  I initially planned to overhaul the unit myself but time and real EMT knowledge are lacking on my part compared to the experts.    

Hello i have an R80 and I like to sale it. If someone is interested contact me. Thanks
