Sim Audio Moon W5 vs Electrocompaniet Amp
Nice to know you think so highly of reviewers and base your own thoughts on their opinions. You are an enlightened person. Your comments utilizing professional viewers quotes to prove your points certainly makes a lasting impression with me. Thank... 
Sim Audio Moon W5 vs Electrocompaniet Amp
Elevator music from the Nemos? Thanks for giving us all such an "accurate" view of a dealer demo. Not suprising since you said in your original statement that Sim gear is "warm" which is way off the mark. Not to many people will ever accuse Sim of... 
Sim Audio Moon W5 vs Electrocompaniet Amp
Sweet sounding? Sim is not sweet sounding at all. At times the treble is harsh, and lean. Nice bottom end and accurate midrange but warm???? Uh uh. I have owned both Sim gear (the I5 integrated) and the Electrocompaniet gear. I enjoyed both but fe... 
Audio Research Rev2 Mk2+Balanced Vk50 SE
I have to side with the ARC. This is of course subjective. I like the ARC sound over the BAT. I use an ARC with my bel cantos and love what it does. Just the right hint of harmonics. The Bel's love accuracy and I don't think the BAT has that trait... 
Preamp dilemma...
I have only tried the Sovteks (factory tubes) and the Amperex 7308 gold pins. The Soveteks make the pre amp very very good. The Amperex's make it one of the best pre amps I have ever heard. The ls 5 becomes a different character altogether. The ac... 
Preamp dilemma...
The LS5 whether MK 2 or 3 is wonderful. I have to agree with audiotomb. One of the best Pre's ever made...accurate but great bloom. Tough to find. Downside...takes 10 6922's to work. If you like NOS tubes it can cost a fortune to run (mine is tube... 
Preamp upgrade ARC LS5, SF Line 3, others?
The LS5 MK II is a tremendous pre-amp. I recently purchased a remote controled version to replace my LS 5 MKII which did not have a remote. Thinking of selling the non-remote unit. Mates very well with my EC amplifier and EMC1. The sound?One of th... 
dcs sound
I have listened to the Elgar for a long time through some very nice associated equipment at my local dealer. The staff and I compared the orginal EMC1 to it and felt that the Electrocompaniet EMC1 CD player had about 95-98% of the abilities of the... 
Best CD player under 5000
Don't know where to hear it in Canada but I second the opinion that it is fabulous. Demoed a 508 and the EMC head to head in a variety of setups (all EC and Mark Levinson kits) and the EMC1 was the clear champ to my ears. I bought it (replaced an ... 
Please, learn from my mistakes
This country is about free speech. That is why people like you are allowed to respond back with such innapropriate statements like "sorry - but guys like you should be banned out of here! " without doing any type of research on what has been going... 
opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9
I just replaced my HT Pro Silways MKII's with Coincident IC's and the difference is huge. I hate to knock another cable because I know it is so system dependent. My current system is all Electrocompaniet (EMC1, 4.6 Pre-amp, AW120 Amp). I have Puri... 
Favourite / most impressive audio store
Hi Fi sound in Minneapolis Minnesota is by far my favorite place to shop. The owner, Scott is a pleasure to deal with and his reccomendations have really helped me get the most out of my system. I think what makes a good shop is the people who wor... 
Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market?
Notice a pattern with all the email account posters? Who is this looser? GET A LIFE and spend more time listening to your boombox 
Please, learn from my mistakes
Maybe you should stop wasting our time with your multiple anti EMC1 post with the multiple BOGUS email accounts. Your obviously a shill for Meridian. SHUT UPStop bashing the best CDP for the money. Your posts belong at Audioreview. 
Linn Ikemi vs. Electro. EMC1 vs. 508.24
You are on crack...please only post your opinions once...not multiple times. It seems that you have an agenda. The EMC1 is the best player in this bunch. The reason so many are for sale (5 at this time) is due to the fact that there is a new versi...
