Adam has posted a review of the EAT E-flat turntable (£4100) at Hi-Fi World. His conclusions:
“There is n doubt in my mind that the EAT E-flat turntable is one of the finest turntables at its price point. In many ways its sonic character reminds me of the Roksan Xerxes, in that I never sat down in front of it in order to be wowed by a particular aspect of its performance, but rather by the effortless way in which it affects an air of easy competetncy in all aspects of its performance. When my Garrard 301 hasn’t been used for a while I find myself reaching for the tracks that with a bit of bass welly as thhis is what is does so well, but in the entire time the EAT was with me, my search for audition material was purely based on the music I wanted to hear, rather than any particular desire to be sated.
To accompany its understated sense of style, the E-flat has a similarly understated brilliance to all that it does, in sonic terms. If its price is within your turntable budget then I would say it should be very high on your audition list as it is a truly addictive musical companion.”
