Besides a larger platter what are the main differences between the 2 models? Always been EMT curiousyeah, it's a truly insane turntable and it was quite a mission to acquire! i bought it from 'two good ears' stefano (@Redboy this was your fault for telling me bout the sale!!) who sent it from italy to holland to get a complete overhaul by jaap pees at hanze hi-fi who also built me the custom US power supply.
i've been a dj for about 20 years and had listened to everything on technics 1200's before my 'hi-fi journey' started. the quest kicked off in belt-drive world with a thorens 160 and then a michell gyrodec. loved 'em both but the garrard 301 i bought from nate turned me into an idler maniac.
in the idler world, to my ears and in combination with the rest of my chain, the emt is king and you'll have to bury me with this 930! (well, until i can find a 927...ha!)
the 927 is gigantic! bigger platter/motor...sized for a 12" arm like the emt 997...supposedly 'more' of all the 930 has.Besides a larger platter what are the main differences between the 2 models? Always been EMT curious
the stands i made are a foot high bringing the horn roughly to ear level from the listening position.Besides the Werner networks, what other mods have you done to your Valencia's, if any? How tall are you stands?
