Emotiva ERC 3 cd player versus....

Hi Zd542.You are wright, buy just because I haven´t had the possibility to audition it, is the reason why I ask in the forum.I´d better reformulate my answer...Has anybody auditioned the Emotiva ERC3 cd player?Which are your conclusions about it?any comparisons between ERC3 and your predecesor cd players....??Best regards and many thanks for your comments!!Raf.

By the way my personal definition of Hi end is developed by trade marks like Krell, Audio Research, Mark Levinson, Pass Labs etc.Entry level for me is Rotel, Cambridge, Lexicom. Hi fi the one you get at the shoppings malls.Just in my humble opinion.Cheers.Rafael

Hi fellows!Many thanks for your comments!I had the info I wanted to know.It´s clear to me that I can´t expect a superb hi end cd player/transport a this price range.I guess if I want to make an upgrade from my old Krell Kav 300 cd( which I am using now as transport), and not to spend a fortune, I should look at used transports of the nineties...for instance I would like a Theta Jade or an Audio Alchemy DDS pro,an EAD T 1000 or ARC CDT1.The only precaution I should have is to be sure that spare parts are available, and that´s not a minor issue.So, unfortunately my dream of having a brand new cd/ transport at a very convenient price will not come true.Again Hi End is a very expensive hobby.I will look for used staff of the ninties.Cheers and thanks again!Rafael

Hi jedinite24.Thanks for your suggestion but I'm afraid this cdplayer is not what I'm looking for.Anyway everybody is wellcome to leave there opinions in this thread.I'm sure there are many emotiva lovers who wants to read other experiences.Fron what I can see they offer a very good quality products at a cery affordable price and that's is a valuable thing.Best regards!Enjoy the thread!Raf

Hi Zd542!So which transport of the ninties would you recommend me, taking into consideration that I'll be using it with an EAD Dsp 9000 Pro and an ARC D 200 amp?Thanks for your suggestion!Regards!Raf
