Sayang, I wasn't able to listen attentively to the EMT+ black ... But that brief moment that I was able to do so, I knew the EMT was able to bring out the Black's emotional sound...

It was a pleasure seeing you at the show and how can I forget the highlight of my evening when just before packing up, you graciously allowed pigdog, Mr. Coralstone Diamond and myself a listen to Jennifer Warnes, The Hunter and the Mercury Hi Fi Espanola lps. Needless to say, that was one of my most enjoyable hi-fi moment. Thank you such a pleasurable memory.

Not counting the slight metal corrosion of the body, I should say that this thing is magnificent.

Hi Philip, Wished I was there at the show. I have seen EMT 930, 950 and 948 turntables but have never heard them in action before. The metal corrossion you are referring to is not really corrossion but paint chips. The whole top plate including the basket support for the platter is actually made of bakelite not metal. I definitely agree with you that it's a magnificent piece of German engineering.

I've always wanted to come home and see the show there but it's almost impossible for me to schedule a trip that time of the year- which is the busiest at work. Yes, I'll be home right after Christmas. Would be nice to visit with you again.
