Noticed that you are using a HMV-EMI Sonic Direct drive turntable. When I was a kid in standard 5 or 6, the EMI Sonic amp, speakers and turntable use to be something I used to admire whenever our school bus passed the shop. How is the performance. If possible, kindly post a picture. Thanks.

Sure.. Please find my HMV - EMI Sonic player.. In terms of performance, previously I had a Project Debut III and a Sansui SR-333. This player is much better than the Debut III and marginal better than SR-333. I sold my Project with an idea of bringing a Rega RP-3. After listen this HMV player I postponed my Rega plan.

Hello Raghu..

What problem with your turn table. One known vendor from chennai having a EMI Sonic player with speed variation issue (always running with high speed)and willing to sell for spares. May be useful to fix your player. If intrested please write a message to me. I will give his contact number.

Best Regards,
Selvin.

The EMI Sonic player looks amazing and is in wonderful condition. It looks like a re-baged Japanese direct drive of the late 1970s. The EMI Sonic amp was the first Indian integrated amplifier to feature a graphic equalizer, back in the day.

Yes it looks in excellent condition.

Had the good fortune of meeting Selvin again in Ranchi while he was here for his project. Spent a beautiful evening together and I thank him for his time. Also, thank him for the LPs that he gifted to me

Spent the evening discussing music, lps, cassettes, decks, turntables & tuners apart from our personal lives over a coffee. Got to see detailed pictures of his Luxman tuner and Yamaha & Nakamichi cassette decks. What a lovely collection of equipment you have.

Hope to see him again soon.

Regards,
Saket
