It's a Gemany seller I won a Studer on eBay before who send me the offer.

Pic of the retipped TSD-15 as said.

VDH retip or EMT?

If it includes this retip , your price of Eur3000 is fair.

He didn't say who do the retip.

did the seller promise to crated the TT in a wooden box for protection during transportation?

in pic. 5, the size of the motor is shown which is quite different from that of the EMT950.

there are 13 circuit boards in the normal version of EMT950, 11 circuit boards for EMT950E narrow version, and only 7 circuit boards in EMT948 as shown.

jcml,

Are you the winner??

Davwong hing,

I also prefer it packed by a wooden box as the seller suggested.
My living place is small but my hi-fi bug bite me to try an EMT turntable.

Com-buddy hing,

If nothing go wrong, I am going to buy this turntable from the German seller. It's a private sale, not from eBay.

Did you see the pictures before or anything you like to remind me?

I know it's a bit risky to buy this way but somtimes on eBay things bad can happen also.

Thanks in advance.

jcml,

As you knew, I am always taking this kind pf risk everymonth, haha. I guess yours is ok wor! Sure hte seller must pack pallet as forwarder will request this before pick up. Anything after that is the insurance matter. So glad to see one more EMT owber in Hk and one more guy closer the reality of music reproduction.

Is the rest of the system ready for it?

Just ask Divid wong how his 950 compare to the previous TT he sold away!

hi, jcml & com-buddy,

i think jcml has to be pretty sure about the packing, don't just take it for granted that the seller will pack your TT in a professional way. as the selling price includes the packing, the lesser the seller pays for the packing, the more he can earn as from the surplus. i think the 948 weighs about 70 pounds if i remember collectly.

i have been told by an emt950 owner that he had received his TT inside double paper boxes! can you imagine how a TT of over 75 kg (165 pounds) in weight can be packed in double paper boxes! the result being that the item arrived liked trash. as a result, no matter how good the price for the item, it ends up with disappointment and you have to spend quite a lot to fix it (if it still can be fixed).

emt950 is so far the best TT i have ever experienced (i declare that i have only limited experience). it is very stable, very natural and to the stage that you don't feel it is playing a record while it is actually doing so. i am also a garrard 301 owner with SME V on. however, it is just like a toy when comparing to 950.

enjoy!

jcml,

Lucky enough, 948 is design like a basket with two handles for carrying around. Just need to make sure the seller locks the machine in proper way(the 3 main bolts and one large tanker-like bolt). You may ask him to send you the pictures after-packing. Good luck.

Jcml hing,

Enjoy.

Thanks. Especially com-buddy and davwong's reminders are very useful!

jcml,

When will the EMT 948 arrive?

jcml,

Has the 948 arrived?

Com-buddy hing,

Just paid the seller 4 days ago and asked him to send it to ex EMT engineer Mr. Dusch to have it check. Most likely it will arrive after Chinese New Year.

Thank you again for your advices!

jcml,

you have made a wise move.

hans is an honest guy and he can take care of your tt very well. you can save the trouble to get somebody to serve your tt in hong kong (as very few people actually know what is going on with an complicated tt like the 948).

Hi,

Any brothers have compared the performance of all emt models?
Any comments about them?
Thanks
Best regards
pang

i want to know too.
