Offered is „EMT 928 Mk II“ by EMT as second-hand device from the category „Record Player, Tone Arm, System...“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9754542474 ends on 07.11.2026 at 10:41 o'clock.
This is an ambitious ask: €16,500 sits well above the €12,402 75th percentile, so it’s priced at a real premium to the recent used market. It would need something exceptional—museum-grade provenance, a fresh overhaul, or unusually complete accessories—to justify that gap.
The EMT 928 is a respected broadcast-era deck with serious engineering, excellent speed stability, and the kind of no-nonsense build that appeals to collectors and vinyl purists alike. If this example is genuinely clean and fully sorted, it has strong appeal, but at this price the buyer should expect top-tier originality, service history, and complete fit-out rather than paying to take on deferred maintenance.
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.
