Electrocompaniet owners


I have owned and enjoyed Electrocompaniet's EMC-1 CD player for the past 2 years. I love the looks, build quality and especially the sound quality. I am considering buying either Electrocompaniet's seperates or one of their integrated amps. Who out there owns their seperates or integrated amps and uses them with EMC-1 CD player?

Their intergrateds have gotten some decent press, but for the price I found used Pass Labs Aleph P and 2 monos to offer a best match with my system. Though not wanting to gild the lily, you MUST be careful if you're buying a used EC unit (see the aforementioned thread). I too LOVE my EMC-1 MkII but have had a horrible experience trying to obtain a mod for it. Remember that any consumer item hopping the pond will be more expensive than its native counterpart. There are MANY US-made amplifiers to consider that may be more cost-effective. The EMC-1 is unique, and as such may be worth the bother. Good Luck.
If you buy Electrocompaniet, your equipment may not have very good resale value on this website. This is an important consideration for me in purchasing new equipment.
Tok20000,
I have a pair of Tyler acoustics Lynbrook monitors. They are rated at 91db. I have a budget of $3,000 - $4,500 and would prefer purchasing used equipment in great condition.I am using a BEL Mk11 amp 50 watts that drive these speakers with ease. Thanks everyone for your feed back. I look forward to any other suggestions for other equipment.

I wouldn't count out Electro yet. If you have heard it and like it, it shouldn't matter what others think.
