emt 950, technics sp10 - direct drive sound

I never listened the EMT 950 but one of my hi-fi friends own a EMT 948 and it sounds exactly like my lightly modded Technics SL1210 MKII .. same prat same way to sound

Curio,
you bold statement is very soothing for all us Technics sl-1200mk2 owners :)

Ciao Siniy,

I didn't want to shock someone here with a "bold statement" I'm not that kinda audiophile or person!
We have just compared my lightly modified SL1210 MKII with the EMT 948 of Giuseppe one of our audiophile friends
Telling the truth no one in our group thoughts a 500 euro humble SL1210 could sound like a mint 5000 euro EMT 948
But the "ugly duckling" scored the same sound.
Obviously my SL1210 received a very fine tuning with a MintLP tractor while I don't think Giuseppe own a MintLP for his EMT.
As many here know .. the MintLP tractor improves to stellar level the stock SL1200 arm - cartridge alignement and so the sound consequent.
Probably the great result has to be ascribed at the perfect cartridge alignement more than the normal quality of a humble SL12xx

Btw .. God save MintLP and SL1200 :-)

Curio, Same tonearm and cartridge on the SL1210 and the EMT 948?

Same cartridge (Denon DL103R) but stock arm on my SL1210 MKII and EMT stock arm on the 948
