My EMT JPA 66
It was finally delivered to me after 8 months of waiting! A long queue where the designers are not paying much attention to entertain in order to compromise on the quality!
The first lesson I learnt is the insufficient space on my rack to house this 2 chasis unit. With some advance planning, I packed up the Zanden DAC for the time being and move the Vekian DAC to the window platform with a SRA platform.
What you see in this photo is after 2 hours of wrestling and juggling within my tiny space.....

If Tidal Preos is the tube sound like solid state phono preamp, this EMT is perhaps the most solid state like tube phono preamp...when music started flowing out from it, the overall speed, dynamics and organic coherence are so vividly presented with a grandeur soundstage thrown out not just in front of me but engulfing me like a 3-d virtual musical hall....Both Preos and JPA66 are very neutral and linear which do not exhibit a particular ear catching coloration to me....tonality is extremely vivid and with solid colors and timbre....bearing in mind it was my impression on the very first hour without much breaking in....
This morning, I started to adjust the input gain of my 805 power amp in order to match better with the high gain output of the EMT to yield a better result on the balance between microdynamic and macrodynamic....
Will report more after more hours of burning in...
Dream phono stage!
It would be fun to hear side by side with FM222. Please arrange via AE for a convenient timeslot for both of us...
