Beautiful. And I bet that 927 is spinning Little Esther Phillips judging by the label. Most likely the "Release Me" LP original pressing. All of the tables superb and the very best.

Lucky you. laugh laugh laugh

I saw a EMT 927 locally once(see foto below).  Big Massive Sucker.  The EMT 997 tonearm looks like a 9in. tonearm in comparison.  tongue  It sold for US$15000 in Ebay approv. 8 months ago.


I heard the Shindo 301 in San Fan.(Pitch Perfect) like 2 years ago in a full blown Shindo system(WE300B ltd./F2a with top of the line Shindo pre-amp) with Latour field coil speakers.  The sound is absolutely amazing.  Peoples with money can buy this sound and bring them home get excellent result instantly.  Where as for a poor soul like me, I have to do it myself and took me 7 to 8 years to get it. shocked

Shindo 301/Shindo Giscours pre-amp/ Cortese F2a(bottom right) set-up in Pitch Perfect  laugh laugh laugh


Holy Grail Shindo 301/Shindo 309 tonearm/Shindo platter/Shindo clamp and Shindo mono SPU cartridge  grin grin grin


Me and Shindo 301  grin grin  I think I look like an elephant man.  shocked

Sexy?  I dunno, looks kind of busy; however, I do like the raised lip around the platter, and the curved tonearm.

Now, if it is playing Eartha Kitt or Peggy Lee, then I bet it sounds sexy ...

Not if their room sux........  As some here have told me.  It's not about how much $$$ you throw at it.  It's about making all the components work in concert.  Including the room.

Downtown, where I used to wander
Old enough to get there but too young to get inside
I would stand out on the sidewalk
Listen to the music playing every Friday night

Whoa, I can hear 'em playing
I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar.....

Ursula Undress my friend.

Ok! oK! She's sexy. But EMT? And that Shindo 301? BAA! An original Garrard 301 with a 12" platter is way more sexier. And so far, no one have spoked about the Lencos  huh
