Yes, I had 8 of these EMT turntables. I sold most of them except two. The one I use most is the one with the original SME type universal headshell and I connect it directly to external phono stages which gives me more options. These are exceptional turntables and rank them very high. I also own Thorens TD 124 and 125 long base with SME 3012 tonearms and few other broadcast turntables. EMT is at the top in many aspects especially ease of operation

After a years of unhappily moving through the 'must have' turntables, arms and carts. I eventually purchased the EMT 938/929/SFL and have never regretted the decision, or felt any desire to 'upgrade'. A remarkable turntable that never imposes itself on the music, only ever transcribing a startling amount of detail, resolution and coherence. The only other record player that has exceeded all expectations, like the 938, is my Lenco 75, and that is because, even before any modifications, its price to performance ratio is astonishing.

I also own a Technics SL1210-MK2 which I bought new and I use it with Ortofon blue cartridge. The sound of the EMT is not 2 notches above the Technics, but at least 4 notches higher 😁 The precision, dynamics and amazing sound stage is much better than the Technics, and there is simply no mono playback that even comes close to the EMT with the TMD25!

Dude, you can easily make the dust cover look almost brand new by using Brasso and a rag from an old t-shirt. It takes a bit of patience, and elbow grease, but it works every time. I have fixed up dozens of turntables like that before passing them on. Trust me, you don't have to look through that foggy lid, and you don't have to sacrifice a fortune on a new one. Speaking of floating suspension; You really should get your hands on a 70's Philips like the Ga 212/312 or perhaps GA208/308 etc. I promise you that you will be impressed. Infact to an extend to make a video about them like you did on the Dual 1019. If you like floating suspension you won't find it better on any other brand of turntable. Those old Philips turntables are reliable as hell, takes a minimum of maintenance, they sound fantastic, they look great, there are plenty of them out there, and you can get them for almost nothing.

@@anadialog It's best to do it by hand because using machines can result in friction heat that burns the acrylic. I understand the temptation to use machines, because doing it by hand is time consuming, but it is risky business. I have tried several pastes made for the purpose, but none of them gives the results I get with Brasso. As mentioned I have fixed quite a few dust covers, and many of them looked like they were beyond salvation, but ended up looking like brand new. That's why I recommend Brasso, and doing it by hand. A cool turntable like the one you got there deserves to look it's best. Nothing beats the feeling of perfect looking kick ass turntable.

The proper available headshells as you displayed in your video for the EMT tonearms are very necessary to place a cartridge in correct alignment for the tonearm. Just one problem many cartridges do not physically fit within those headshells. The EMT headshells are very short so fitting a "normal" cartridge of your choice may be a challenge because there is no room, also you cannot substitute the more common headshells like on your former Technics turntable, your cartridge alignment for that arm with be off by a mile, also the pin layout is in a diamond pattern as opposed to the more traditional square pattern. Enjoy your legend. You need to listen to the Godfather of broadcast turntables the big EMT 927.

The black dots that say 33, 45, 78, what do they do? How might one use them?
@Jensmusiclover2 жыл бұрын
That's easy to explain: - get to the beginning of the song, stop the platter right after beginning - then take your finger i.e. to the dot "33" (for LPs) - move back the record exactly to the beginning of the song - run a test after you have reached the exact place for playing the record - you'll be surprised of the result! It needs just a little practice. - Good luck!

Is the cable to connect the tonearm to an external phono preamp just a DIN cable?

Thank you for your wonderful information and all links you have posted, is is OK to ask what is the average price for a rebuilt one? Thank you.
@anadialog3 жыл бұрын
Well, around 3000/4000€ depending on which cart, electronics and arm are installed. I got mine for 2000€ but then I had to sped another 2000€ for repair, calibration, recap, new cart, shipping, preamp ecc.

This is a true broadcast turntable, but not what I would call an audiophile turntable. They are durable and reliable, but not necessarily the best quality sound. Yes, this can be changed with different cartridges and rewiring and a host of other modifications, but doesn't come standard). Why no volume controls? When plugged into the "board" at a radio station, you control the volume (and some other functions) in a different location. All I can say is having seen what happens to these over the years and the millions of records which have been played on them, you will be doing a lot of maintenance on it over the years. But, if that is what you want, good for you. Good luck and I hope it doesn't wear you out. Note: Yes, I have seen broadcast turntables used and abused. We had a RCA transcription and a Gates (don't know the model) at the radio station my father owned.

I'd take an SME or even a half-decent Rega over that arm any day. Some respect is due to EMT, especially for the motor units. But not this much I'm afraid.

How do you bypass the internal phono amp?
@anadialog3 жыл бұрын
As I mentioned, for this and other EMTs, you can take off the cable from underneath the tonearm and use a different cable connected to an external phono pre-amp.

Small glitch...EMT is an abbreviation, not an anagram. This is a common error, but an error nonetheless. An anagram uses initial letters to form a new word, like NASA, or sitcom. Thanks for the otherwise very informative video.

Greetings Thanks for the videos. They are entertaining and informative. If you need a special part for your EMT dust cover may I suggest 3D printing it. Either w/ your own 3D printer or job shop it out. Maybe even the dust cover can be 3D printed. On another matter I am surprised you handle your gear w/ bare hands. I always put on white cotton gloves to handle my modest system. Who wants oils and sticking dust to accumulate on fine gear. I also do so to maybe help prevent static discharge . Best Wishes - Cheerio

Improvements in turntables are important but they are limited. If you consider that idler turntables like Garrard, Thorens and Lenco as well as EMT are considered by many as the best you can get if properly serviced and tuned it immediately gives you the idea of this world...

I think the best any modern turntable can hope for is to equal the sound quality best of the mid century turntables. Since the 1980s, a multitude of analog knowledge has been wantonly discarded in a quasi religious fervor over digital's supposed superiority. The only thing truly new about the modern manufacturers (like VPI) is their visual aesthetics and marketing. The top manufacturers of vinyl's heyday (EMT, Garrard, Thorens, Sony, Micro, and many others) had, by necessity, a scale of innovation and engineering redundancy that would be impossible to match in today's cottage industries. Though I still believe if the new turntables appeal to you visually and you can afford them, they will sound great and we should support them
@pauldavies60373 жыл бұрын
@@TucsonAnalogWorkshop I disagree the newer upmarket manufacturers Analise things like vibration friction and isolation in much greater detail and important than for example the 60 and 70's designs in tone arms and turntables and use more modern materials.I agree the Japanese made some good attempts before CDs killed the lot off
