Electrocompaniet EMC-1

Hi Daniel, I find the EMC-1 hard to fault. I was comparing the EMC-1 against the Goldmund 39 at twice the price and the Gryphon CD player at around $6500. I preferred the Goldmund's transparency but it has nothing on the EMC-1s musicality or tonality. I am sure there are better players but at what price? Put one in your system and I bet you won't be thinking about updating your digital for sometime.

Hi Briweve, that doesn't sound crazy to me. Depending on what the EMC-1 is sitting on (see isolation vs absorbtion thread) and what feet you are using under the EMC-1 can change the sound of this player dramatically. I have been able to make this player sound bright and hard to soft and uninvolving depending on what the player is sitting on and what feet I am using. Experiment and have fun.
