NAD C165 vs Parasound 2100 vs Emotiva USP-1

if they tripled the price they wouldn't be able to keep them is stock. performance has nothing to do with it.

Well then they are missing an opportunity by not tripling the price.

I have no problem with value priced hardware. My concern is more that I have seem feedback from several sources that the emotiva USP-1 is bright. I only care about the sound quality and build quality.

Any comments on those factors?

james lipski, you reinforce every stereotype (pun secondarily intended) of a blowhard fauxdiophile. You must be so proud.

I am proud to arouse the wit and wisdom of someone on your level....
