| Best Cd Player For Around 3000 Absolutely - go for the Electrocompaniet EMC-1 with the 24/192 upgrade. There are quite a few available on audiogon right now - and it's about the best CD player available today at any price. | |
| Cables that make no sense... Perfectimage - I have read that at CES, Nordost used its cable on a cheap "boom box" gradually working their way up the line from Flatline to Valhalla. With every step in their product line, those in the audience heard better sound from the boom b... | |
| EMC-1 vs. Levinson 360s/Sony SCD-1 I heard a it mentioned that Electrocompaniet was raising the price on the EMC-1 MkII SUBSTANTIALLY! Can anyone confirm this? | |

| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps Suretyguy - you are absolutely correct. The reliability of EC is as good (if not better) than other high end brands. I know I read something about Sony and it's "standing behind the product" I would BEG TO DIFFER! From my experience with Sony, the... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Slawney, fantastic reply! I look forward to the day when you offer your Statements up for sale - but agree with you on the virtues of having both. While I am waiting, I will be using OTA myself. The allure of the OTA (and the poetic effects it has... | |
