Great going Anil. I would love to hear them sometime. Have you tried the cartridge with any other phono stage other than the inbuilt one? I understand that the 950 is the top of the line EMT.
Finally after a long wait, got my new EMT TSD15-SFL MC cartridge for the EMT 950.
Thanks Anil for the invite. It was a wonderful evening spent with you guys. The EMT 950 is definitely the best EMT I have heard till date. Both resolution and scale was better than 938 that I have heard earlier. Superb stuff! It will be interesting to use the 950 just as a turntable and use an external phonostage. Only you can do ithyeah:
I don't think the two can be compared. SP 10 has a better flow but dynamics is recessed. EMT is lightning quick and more dynamic. They cater to a different set of needs. It's a lot like Lowther and Fostex. Fostex is like SP 10 and Lowther like the EMT![]()
Agreed Dr Bass but one doesn't buy an EMT if one does not like the house sound. I strongly believe one should not mod an EMT. A few very senior guys I have spoken to also are of the same opinion. As it is one is paying a huge premium for the EMT. If one wants to mod it am sure there are better turntable options. It's like buying a Mac. Nobody really attempts to mod it. If you want to mod you start with a windows based comp
