Additional information
The EMT 938 is a turntable designed as a more affordable option compared to its predecessor, the EMT 948, while still maintaining the quality standards set by EMT. It features a direct-drive system and rapid starting capabilities, making it immune to solid-borne vibrations and offering high reproduction quality.
The turntable uses the same motor and drive electronics as the EMT 948, but the electronics are consolidated onto one large board rather than spread across several boards, which makes it less service-friendly but does not affect its longevity.
