Offered is „930st + 929 + Konsole“ 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 8752989078 ends on 15.11.2026 at 06:38 o'clock.
The EMT 930st has real cult status as a broadcast-grade idler deck, so €16,950 is ambitious rather than a bargain. Recent used asks show a wide spread — roughly €4,000 to €7,000 for lower/older examples, with nicer complete sets and premium listings reaching around €9,000 to €18,000+, so this sits toward the upper end of the market rather than in the sweet spot.
What you’re paying for is the 930st’s iron-clad build, speed stability, and that big, authoritative EMT presentation that still appeals to serious vinyl listeners. If this one is truly good condition, ideally with original parts, a healthy motor, and a proper arm/plinth setup, the upside is provenance and scarcity more than raw value; just make sure the listing is very clear on what’s included, since accessories and completeness move these a lot.
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.
