EMC1 mk2 vs Cary 306/200...
KF,Was the EMC-1 you compared to the Cary the latest version? There is an upgrade available above and beyond the 24/192 DAC upgrade (mainly involves the replacement of quite a few passive components in the power supply, analog stages, etc.). As go...

Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub....
Kana813...Where did "Uncle Mike" come from? Just "Mike" will be fine, thank you. And no, a high crossover point did not account for my "poor impression".Curt...As I stated, I wasn't trying to offend you, just stating my opinion. By the way, would ... 
Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub....
Curt,Please, no offense intended but stating that ANY Velodyne sub has the lowest distortion and flattest response of any sub is laughable! Of course, if all I had ever heard was Velodyne, I also would say it was impressive. But, have you ever hea... 
Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub....
Disclaimer: I am a Talon dealer.Mythtrip...Velodyne makes sufficient theater subs, but that is about it. They are one of the slowest and most "non-musical" subs my dad and I have ever heard, IMHO (I am sure there are those that will disagree with ...

Disclaimer: I am a Talon dealer.I have heard both subs you mention extensively (we used to carry Aerial), and neither one of them even come close to the speed, accuracy, correctness of timbre, and "sock ya'in the gut" depth of the Talon Roc 12.FYI...

Maggies and Talon Roc
Disclaimer: I am a Talon dealer.Nealhood...The Talon Roc (original, 2002, or the new Roc 12) is the ONLY sub I have ever heard that could keep up with the transient speed of electrostatic speakers. The pitch difference you heard may have been due ... 
Non fatigueing speaker under 1500
A nice tube integrated frome Rogue, Jolida, etc. (good advice Duke) and the Swifts would be a match made in heaven. Probably about as musical a system as you will find for not a lot of money.Best Regards...Mike - Father & Son Audio 
Non fatigueing speaker under 1500
Disclaimer: I am a Meadowlark dealer.Duke makes some very good points concerning listener fatigue in relation to cabinet resonance. This is often overlooked and many times fatigue is caused by this effect, and NOT the drivers. Gooddomino...As far ...

How to tell diff. b/w EMC-1 versions
I need to make a clarification to my post as the info I provided has caused some confusion. I was somewhat vague (not on purpose) in my answer and should have provided more detail. In addition, the info I provided was NOT 100% accurate as "24/192"... 
How to tell diff. b/w EMC-1 versions
There are only two ways to tell between the 24/192 and older 24/96:1) As you mentioned, the badge2) Actually have to look inside the unit (the best way to make sure you aren't being taken advantage of by a seller). Take the left side (if looking a...
