EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?


Did any one test those machines in the same set up? What was the outcome? Idler-Drive in its best built quality vs. the well rated heavy belts from Japan.

Dear Dover: Just curios. I understand that Final marketed in Japan a phono cartridge ( I think with an integrated headshell and I think an expensive one. ) that was very well regarded as something truly special.
Do you own this cartridge? was Kitamura its designer or that cartridge is a different " Final " manufacturer?

I disturb you because there are not many ( only a few. ) Final products owners as you are so a first hand experience always is a learning one.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Dear Thuchan: Even that you don't give your answers yet I would like to add ( for you take in count with your answers. ) why you follow that myth that using a thread is way better than a rubber belt with the MS TTs: could you?

Thank you in advance.

Dear Dertonarm: I never had on " hand " the Melco that I assume was the ones made it by Maki Engineering Laboratory Company. I don't know other that its heavy weight how could compare against the Final or other today top TTs.

A Contest ( as you name it. ) with main heavy weight TT characteristic means IMHO almost nothing about quality performance level.

Permit me to ask you: what is your " take " here?

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
Well, maybe this could help to other persons to figure it:
