I am taking a sonic chance on the EMT 927. I really don't know what I am getting into as far as the sonic ability's of these big turntables. I had to sell my former turntable to help afford the EMT. Buying this was a opportunity that didn't allow much time for hesitation, but I was able to inspect it in the flesh. The seller was not willing to ship and I was close enough to make the drive and see it. So less risk of a scam or any misrepresentation of the unit. The odds of being able to see one so close to me were low and to see one in Canada and not having to bring the thing across the border or ship was another bonus.
I could only use the online "hype" of the EMT to help me this purchase. The risks are low, at least from any financial loss at the price I paid for mine. It wasn't cheap, but not $40K US. I was able to buy mine in CND $. I have had a least a couple of "if you don't want it, I will take it" emails.
