Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?

Having owned many good turntables in my audiophile life 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.
New designs may offer some advantages like multiple armboards, more than one motor or additional vibration measurements etc. but regarding the sound quality the EMT is unbeatable!
What is the real reason behind this as the machine is nearly 60 years old, including the pre-versions like the R-80?

Dear pryso, Wanting and knowing are  two different categories.

My sense for humour is obviusly different from yours.

Dear Nandric,
What I have seen in Munich looks very promising. Nevertheless we have to see it running and assessing with our subjective ears. Maybe my 60 years old turntable will then hand over its crown, maybe...

Dear Thuchan, I am sure that I can't afford one (aka Apolyt) but

I am not sure about you. But what I am sure about is that we both

would like our friend Dertonarm to succeed.

Dear Nandric,
You sound a bit frustrated, what happened? You may go for a 927on ebay.de
Should be no problem for you. I am sure!

Dear Thuchan, I own two TT's: Kuzma Stabi Reference and SP-10,

mk 2 . I am not able to hear any difference between them. I also

think that nobody can hear any difference between my SP-10

and any other TT irrespective of the price. I am willing to bet for

$1000 with whom ever about my statement. ''Blind test'' of course

assumed.
