🙋🏻‍♂️ Welcome and Foreword

Hello and welcome to my Reverb Shop! Thank you for your interest in this listing. Every instrument I offer comes from my private collection and is treated with great care and respect. Each instrument is thoroughly checked and tested to ensure full functionality and excellent condition.

Before any instrument is listed for sale, it goes through a professional multi-stage inspection by our technician. Only after successfully passing all functional and visual checks is it approved for listing. I am aware that my prices may be above average, but this reflects my commitment to transparency, careful preparation, and customer satisfaction. Packaging alone takes 2–4 hours, with multiple layers of protection to ensure safe and worry-free transport. Quality — both of the instruments and my work — is my top priority. I am always available to answer questions and ensure a smooth buying experience.

Enjoy reading the description.

🎹 Information about the Item for Sale

I am offering the absolute undisputed king of professional vinyl playback: the EMT 950 Broadcast Studio Turntable (often called the "Schallplatten-Wiedergabe-Maschine"). Introduced in the mid-1970s, the 950 was Wilhelm Franz EMT’s absolute flagship model, engineered with zero financial or technical restrictions for national radio networks, mastering studios, and archives worldwide. Weighing in at roughly 70 kg, its heavy-duty mechanical frame and complex electronic architecture represent the absolute zenith of German analog craftsmanship.

This legendary machine comes fully loaded and prepared for immediate professional or audiophile use:

• EMT 929 Tonearm & TSD 15 Tondose: Equipped with the original, dynamic-balance EMT 929 tonearm, perfectly holding the iconic EMT TSD 15 Tondose (moving coil cartridge). This combination is revered by audiophiles globally for its effortless tracking, immense dynamic range, and stunningly realistic soundstage.
• Rapid Direct-Drive Performance: The EMT 950 features a massive, ultra-low mass platter driven by an exceptionally powerful direct-drive motor, allowing it to reach perfect quartz-locked speed within a fraction of a second when hitting the start button—essential for precision back-cueing.

Technically, this EMT 950 is in pristine operational condition. The complex matrix of internal audio and motor-control cards has been fully checked and calibrated. The cueing functions, mechanical brake, illuminated push-buttons, and the integrated professional phono stage operate flawlessly. Optically, it stands in magnificent, collector-grade condition with only minimal signs of studio use, proving how well it has been cared for over the decades.

Please note: This listing includes the complete EMT 950 turntable station, the EMT 929 tonearm, and the TSD 15 Tondose cartridge.
