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
