Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?

Thank you Thuchan,
Very well explained......
Now......if only I can hear one myself?

Regards
Henry

Thuchan, I have only once heard an EMT927 and even that was with no comparison to anything else. I love vinyl but find it very inconvenient also. I am soon to get an idler wheel Lenco based tt.

I doubt if the EMT927 has never been surpassed, but hey that is not the issue. I think it could be built today except for the fact that the price would be much greater and perhaps even prohibitive. I know full well that there are better bearings, plinth materials, vibration isolation, platter materials, phono stage designs and parts, etc. What would a current version of the EMT with use of all this new information sound like?

I also know of the Seiko Epson turntable by Mr. Teragaki Takeshi and how revered and sought after it is. Is it the equal of the EMT.

I'm sure you enjoy your EMT 927. I have once turndown one and would not change my mind were I offered another today.

Hi Thuchan –
are you familiar with the Jean Nantais Lenco L75 - EMT927
shootout that took place in Athens, Greece ?

EMT 927

Recognizing the links are from JN’s site here ......

In your opinion was this a fair shootout ?

Cheers

Ct0517, It is the Reference which I'm getting. I had heard about this, but had not seen a citation of it.

1. How does the 927 compared to 930 which is also an Idler drive ? Or for that matter how is the 950 in comparison ? Is there big gap between 927 and all other EMTs ?

Pani, owing a 930, I've been asking myself the same question.
Here is +/- only concrete info I could get on the subject:
