I've had a good amount of experience with Emotiva as I have owned a number of their products and currently have the ERC-1. It replaced my Cambridge 640C and while the ERC is better it wasnt night and day but very subtle. But the 640C retail was I think double the price of the ERC though. But one thing that the ERC has that sets it apart is its ability to play virtually any CD regardless of quality with no skips. I have a copy of Nirvana's Nevermind that looks like Freddy Kruger got a hold of it and the ERC never falters when playing it. Emotiva is a great company with great customer service and you should definitely give them a try.
Does anyone have any experience with Emotiva ?
Does anyone have any experience with Emotiva - specifically the Emotiva ERC-1 CD Player ? I had never heard of this company prior to reading a review on Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity. I am wondering, given its price, how it may stack up to some mid/high-end players like the Rega, Cambridge Audio, or Cary. I am giving some thought to selling my everything player (Denon 2930) and buying a separate CD player and a universal Blu-ray without breaking the bank. I would be playing this using my Anthem Statement Pre and Power Amp on Avalon Speakers.
