Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?

Henry,

Thanks for the photos.  I especially like the custom arm pods.  Looks tremendous. 

I would imagine that Thuchans sounds excellent as well.  I have heard many good arguments about using arm pods as this de-couples the turntable plinth from the arm. I have often thought of trying it myself but my Dual and Garrard are both set in traditional hardwood plinths with single arm mounts.  

If I come across an affordable Victor I may contact you for the drawings of your plinth. 

Thanks again Henry.

This thread is flawed by design:

"I am still wondering why not one of the modern designs of the last 20 years is able to beat the sound qualities of an EMT 927"

One set of ears. One listening room (less than perfect, maybe). So many variables from needle to speakers and everything in between. This is subjectivity with a huge S.

Sorry, Sonicbeauty, don't get your arguments. Do you have some?

Sonicbeauty,
If you've read even some of these post you will find that it's not just one set of ears, or one room, or one cartridge. 
Many here agree with Thuchans thoughts on the  EMT. Those that haven't heard one for themselves can take comfort in knowing that Thuchans listening room is built from the ground up as a 'no compromise' listening room using only the finest in electronics and source material. He also has a stellar collection of high end turntables and tonearms a that are considerably more expensive than the cost of his EMT and provide him with a platform to give an 'unbiased' assements of the turntables strengths. 

Most of us don't have this type of room or equipment to properly make such a comparison.

In fact most professional audio reviews don't either.
