That was the only goal for it. These units were made for only 1 reason, to start as fast as possible (Radio Stations used vinyl and when the talk stopped, the music had to start). Next was the reliability, it had to run 23h per day, all day long. Btw. same with EMT carts, they were never made to last a longer period, they started fast and died fast. They were thrown away, the Stations had a boatload from them, no one made a retip, adjustments, VTA, VTF...
Nothing from this has anything in common with sound quality. It is indeed nothing special. EMT's are collected from those who think, what was used in Broadcast has to be superior. Even 40 years later. To deny Physics is common in the audiophile community. God, please, send brain.
The Radio signal was limited anyway, for what should they need lower Bass or high frequencies? The EMT's (and similar ones) made a job, not more. Full range was never a goal.And they can't.
The Broadcast Stations were the first who replaced them as fast as possible with DD's. But even that had nothing to do with sound quality. Same is today with Harddisc. The only real serous equipment from Broadcast Stations was their technical sending equipment from Rhode & Schwarz (Tuner, Transmission....)
