High End 2011

No, the idea was not to torment you, but I couldn’t resist a shot of this, one of the world’s most coveted vintage turntables -- outside the US at least, with NOS models exceeding $10,000. I jokingly asked EMT’s boss Jules Limon when he was putting it back into production, and he surprised me when he didn’t say "Never!" Rather, he uttered softly, "Not yet." Maybe if enough hardcore vinylphiles beg him to bring it back. . . . After all, he already makes the tonearm, cartridge and a killer phono stage.
