I own the EMC-1 and love it. I have also owned Pass Aleph 2s. I had them on Dunlavy SCIV speakers. I think the EMC-1 would work great with those amps. The EMC-1 has a very rich, musical presentation. It is detailed without being analytical. The Alephs tend to be a tad dry, so there should be some synergy. I put a Sahuaro Slipstream power cord on the EMC-1 and the sound became even more holographic, detailed, and natural sounding. Aurios underneath also helped. The first post is correct....it's a soundstaging champ, especially in width. It is one of the most listenable players around, and it looks great.
CD players,Electrocompaniet EMC-1 or YBA
I was hoping there might be someone out there that has done a side by side comparison of these 2 CD players. My system is almost finished I have ALeph 2 mono, Aleph P pre, a set of speakers built hand made by a company in Phoenix(Speaker ECT.) Now I need a source. I was think about an YBA CD2 or CD1, but I have been told this Electrocompaniet EMC-1 is awesome. Can anyone give me the run down.
