Lewm, I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'd very much like to know more about your experiences with these turntables: 1) Where exactly does the DP80 fall short? 2) Where is the SP10 Mk3 better than the MK2? 3) And how does the L-07D differ from the others? I know the technical differences between these turntables and can make a guess based on that, but would really value your experience.
EMT direct drive and Technics SP-10 opinions?
I have an EMT 938 that I have been using for a few months and am trying to get some opinions on it. I also have an SP-10 mk2 that is still a project. My past turntables from the beginning are: Linn LP12, Forsell, Basis 2500, and more recently Redpoint model D. I'm wondering if a 948 or 950 is much different sounding than a 938. Also, how they compare to sp-10 mk2 and mk3. Thinking about making an arm board for the 938 and trying either a Tri-planar or a Reed tonearm. I'm running my EMT tonearm straight to my Atma-sphere MP-1 pre-amp now. What really interests me about my EMT table, even though in many ways my other tables rivalled it sonically, is that this table is the first table I've owned that I don't think about the platter turning. Also, out of all of them, the Redpoint and this EMT are the only ones that could hold pitch on piano accurately. Before the Redpoint I just avoided putting on solo piano. I used to think that this was a flaw of listening to vinyl. I sold the Redpoint a couple months ago and want to explore direct drive more.
