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.

I just spotted it over on the World (not Audio) Design forum (where vinyl is
a bloody long way from dead, I might add!! :-) - courtesy of 'Clive'!!

I haven't read it all yet, only scanned through it - but I'm not the least
bit surprised to see the 'antipiracy' remarks. I can only presume they
haven't heard about these little Ion decks....?? :-)

Also these two super little vids:

.....for anyone who's interested??

Enjoy!
