Angeboten wird „938 TSD15 ORIGINAL STAND“ von EMT als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5815656971 endet am 07.08.2026 um 12:09 Uhr.
The €5,999 asking price sits above the 75th percentile (€5,664) of recent comparable listings, making it ambitious rather than a bargain, though it remains within the realm of fair value for a pristine, original-owner EMT TSD15 in good condition. While new retail equivalents for similar models hover around €4,100–€4,500, this unit’s condition and rarity justify the premium, but buyers should note it is not a clear deal.
This listing is worthwhile because the EMT TSD15, introduced in 1965, is legendary for its high output (1.05mV), robust 24-ohm impedance, and exceptional mono performance, making it ideal for vintage setups and demanding cartridges. Its cast magnesium housing (from 1970) adds durability, and a clean, original-owner example with full accessories offers rare timing value for enthusiasts seeking a historically significant, high-performing moving coil cartridge.
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.
