Offered is „EMT 950 RAI Version“ by EMT as second-hand device from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2816274269 ends on 17.11.2026 at 12:44 o'clock.
At €8,500, this is above the €6,693 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair on your recent-comps anchor. It’s not wildly out of line for a desirable, scarce EMT piece in good cosmetic shape, but the price is clearly on the high side versus the typical used market at €4,508 median and €1,857 at the lower quartile.
What makes it worth considering is the model’s reputation: EMT gear is prized for its broadcast-grade build, stable direct-drive performance, and the kind of long-term serviceability that keeps serious collectors and working listeners interested. If the deck is genuinely complete, properly serviced, and includes original or correct accessories, the premium has some logic; at this level I’d mainly want proof of healthy operation, untouched electronics, and a mechanically sound arm/plinth before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
EMT, or Elektromesstechnik, traces its origins to 1938 when Wilhelm Franz founded the company in Berlin, Germany, amid a prewar push for advanced broadcast technology. Initially focused on measurement equipment, it relocated to Lahr and gained renown in 1940 for indestructible professional turntables like the iconic 927, designed for 24/7 radio studio use in collaboration with Germany's Broadcasting Technique Institute. Pioneering innovations extended to the 1957 EMT 140 plate reverb, revolutionizing recording studios worldwide, and the 1976 EMT 250, an early practical digital reverb.
The brand excels in professional analog audio gear, particularly broadcast-grade turntables such as the 927, 930, and 950 series, produced until 1989. It became legendary for moving-coil cartridges, starting with the 1965 TSD 15 used in global broadcast facilities, followed by the hi-fi-oriented JSD series in 2006. Today, as EMT Tontechnik under Switzerland's HiFiction AG since 2014, it crafts precision cartridges, Thales tonearms, and select turntables, emphasizing analog purity over digital alternatives.
EMT commands a revered position among vintage collectors and high-end audiophiles, prized for its bulletproof engineering and studio-proven fidelity that translates seamlessly to discerning home systems. Once the gold standard for broadcasters, its heirloom pieces now fetch premium prices, embodying German precision in a niche market where durability meets musical authenticity.
