Romy, besides via the radio, did you ever have the opportunity to hear either the 948 or 950 in a domestic installation?

I do not think that “via radio” would be very sane way to judge TT, would it be?  I do not remember the EMT numbers. I did hear a few EMT in various settings; still I do not think that in those cases I was comfortable to recognize sound that is specifically derivative of the TT. My familiarity with EMT mostly derives from a friend of mine who owners a few EMTs. With his TT I play in attendance for some time. The 927 impressed a lot, primary by the fact that it had longer bearing rod.  I know that he had also a few other EMT, there was EMT 930 among them, were there specifically 948 or 950 I do not know/remember. I do remember that any smaller EMT had much shorter bearing cylinder. I feel that extended length of bearing cylinder is very-very cool thing as it minimize the micro-beating of the platter in case of side momentum is applied. I am not well familiar with EMT in order to make comparative judgment between sounds of their models.
