    Hi Guy,

    Oooooooh, now *that* will be very interesting!! My money's on the EMT (in probably the areas that matter to me most). Is that a TSD-15 cartridge on it?

    Anyway, more importantly, where have you been matey? I thought you'd abandoned us!

    Beechy, I agree. Well, you know me for quality broadcast gear!

    Marco.

    Question

    Old EMT, SP-10 or Continuum? Let me see? I own one, so its old EMT or Continuum.....

    The EMT Mathew will probably put on eBay soon, so I suppose I had better save up for the Continuum?
