Offered is „Thales Slim II + Thales Simplicty II + EMT Gold“ by Thales 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 3036392551 ends on 13.11.2026 at 18:14 o'clock.
€10,500 is ambitious versus the current used market: it sits well above the €6,441 75th percentile and more than 3× the €3,248 median, so this needs to be justified by exceptional completeness or condition.
What makes it interesting is the strength of the Thales/EMT chain: these are highly regarded, precision-minded pieces that can deliver superb tracking, low coloration, and real analog refinement when properly set up. A clean, well-kept example with the right accessories can have genuine appeal, but at this price a buyer should expect standout provenance, excellent cosmetics, and no missing parts; otherwise, the premium is hard to defend.
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.
