I disagree totally with 9rw. I own the 360s/37 combo and have auditioned EMC unit extensively. I can't put the ECM down. It's a very nice player. I've even heard it sound better with the outboard Chord DAC. But better than the 360s/37?, No Way, but a very different presentation. I like the pace and unforced detail much better on the Levinson set up. IMO the ECM is too relaxed. Not enough boogie bounce when you want it for me. I hate CD pucks too. But at the same time if your looking for the best value, either the ML 39 or the EMC is the way to go depending on your taste.
