A doddle!! :-)
I don't think I'll go out and sell the EMT just yet.



Tsk, tsk! Serge! You wouldn't be dismissing those little decks *unheard*
would you?

(You'll have Arny accusing *me* of unveridical perceptions again!! :-)

If I wasn't tit-deep in decks already (back up to five again!!) I'd grab one
of those buggers just to have a play with it! I bet with my Goldring high
output MC cart or the Shure V15/5 on it, the results would be perfectly
acceptable - certainly for MP3s and/or 'music on the move'!!

Sadly, you're probably right; they could well sound reasonable. Of
course how long they will last, and/or maintain their spec is anyone's
guess, but for the purpose they're being sold for i.e. digitising your
vinyl collection, they will probably last long enough. When you
consider the sort of TTs you and I use, which have been around for 20-30
years and are still working well, it's sad to see the turntable reduced
to a near disposable item.
