Anyone have experience with E.A.T. Turntables?

Anyone have experience owning E.A.T. products?

No experience, but I do like a lot of things they have done, especially the C-Sharp. They at least make an effort to provide some environmental isolation. There was a thread on it here and I know at least one person here has the lower model ... Survey: What Brand of Turntable Do You Use

Interesting New Turntable Find- EAT (Euro. Audio Team)

 

Thanks. The reviews have been overwhelming positive, and they seem to have a lot of good value/performance.

 

Sweet tables! Price needs to drop though......

 

thanks..

price drop because..?

 

Because I want a Forte!!!

 

aha!

 

An acquaintance here that I know was a dealer, and I got to audition one in his shop.
I was quite impressed, he actually sold me an Ortofon Quintet Black (boron) that for a time was shipping on the C-Sharp.
I could not justify the table upgrade at the time, but is was a really nice table, if I had a pile of mad money, it would have followed me home.

 

thanks...that is quite an endorsement...now I need to go hear one...

 

The company is run by the wife of the Project owner and they are made in the same factory. Some design and part similarities to the high end Project models. Not heard one but they look good value in terms of competition considering the engineering.

 

I hadn't heard of them (or heard one) but the £1370 B Sharp Super Pack is one of 15 recommended decks in the July 2018 What Hi Fi UK magazine vinyl special edition. Described as having a broad range of talents and a decent alternative to the similarly priced Rega Planar 6/Ania combo. Pre-fitted cart, balanced performance are plusses, but manual speed change and gloss finish apparently could be tidier, says the mag. As Classic Rock says, strong link with Project. Think the cart is a 2M Blue.

 

I auditioned the C-Sharp with an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge and a Sutherland 20/20 phono preamp at my dealer when I was looking for a new turntable. I liked it a lot and it represented a tremendous value. Detail retrieval and pacing were fantastic. Surprisingly musical as well. Very well built and great looks. The only think keeping it from being more popular is the company’s marketing budget. It was a fantastic listening experience.

 

Thanks for the details. I am even more interested.

 

I own the E.A.T C-Sharp with the Quintet Black MC Cart. Fantastic table! Build quality is impeccable, its gorgeous to look at and has taken my vinyl playback to a whole new level.

 

Wow, that table looks so clean, I bet you could E.A.T. off it...

 

Thanks. What did you upgrade/ migrate from?

Did you see E.A.T. now has there own cart? $1500!

I upgraded from a Music Hall MMF 9.1, itself a darn nice 'table and the improvement was significant IMO. Wasn't aware of the cart, but E.A.T. has two phono stages that have been getting rave reviews.

 

thanks! Yes, those phono stages look like works of industrial art..NOT cheap however...

 

No but it is in my to five lust for turntables. Read a VERY positive review on the C Sharp. Beautiful table

 

Pic?

 

I would, but I'm one of the last two people on earth without a digital camera or smart phone. I have been dying to post my system on the Forum. If I can get my son-in-law to do it for me, I will.

 

All good. Just would love to see this table in its natural state ( in someone’s system). Just get him to use Postimage.org, easy to use

 

If it make you feel better I'm one of the last two people on earth without a Facebook account.

 

I’m the other

 

Wow, it's heavy - 15 gr! Specs are nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, I haven't heard one, but if I were looking to spend that kind of dough on a cart, I'd go with a proven design by a well-known make.
