Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?

Thuchan, could you clarify your opinion? Are you saying that you believe the EMT 927 is the best turntable jusged by sound quality alone, as you state in your original post, or are you saying that when you factor in the price, it offers the best value like you seem to suggest in your 5/17 post "If you compare sound quality/prices of the oder designs with with the modern designs you will agree with me that an EMT 927 beats them all...."?

I would find it very helpful and I think the thread would benefit from a discussion about the merits and the deficiencies of the 927 compared with the best modern designs as described by those who have a lot of experience with these tables.

Tbg,
do you have a problem, you don't have to participate if you are finished?

thanks

Peterayer,
I mean by sound quality also in comparison with other idlers like Garrard and Lencos. I know my experience might raise resistance by 301 and Lenco owners like Tbg but why not express one's opinion clearly.

On top of that if you compare prices of the (so called) Top-class TTs like Caliburn or TechDas or some others with a also expensive 927 you will end up with a kind of bargain (not really, is still a lot of money).

Omsed,

ya for sure these forum's can be addictive :-)

A teacher used to say to us "open your mind, something might drop in". I'm here trying to do that.

REALLY! I don't really see it that way, you seem to be side stepping simple questions put forth to so I'll ask again.

Please do share by providing a list of what you feel are "Great table" along with "State of Art tables" from your own experience.

If you want to add a brief description along with each outlining why would be great also.
