What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?
"It's no fun to consider that a 7000 dollar product sounds no better or inferior to a 1000 dollar product. But it happens all the time in audio."Could you give us some examples? 
What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?
"I'm anxious to see Emotiva's full blown processor coming soon."Well you should get that based upon how you feel about the UMC-1. I bet that new one will really be something special.Hope they beta test it before they release it, unlike the UMC-1.

"There is NO processor at any cost I'd buy today over it."Goober is that you ? 
Parasound 2100
If you want to go with Emotiva why not just go the the source and buy a Tonewinner. 
Best Speakers match for NAD C372
I have paired NHT's with NAD (272 and now a 275) and they work well together. NHT is having a sale on their website, 18% off of everything. NHT classic 3's (which I own) are normally 700 and the NHT 4's are normally 1500. Nice chance to get a good...

NAD 12V trigger
I don't know what it is with NAD and the sense circuit? Didn't work on my c272 (unit would turn off). Purchased the c275bee and tried the sense circuit and the same thing. Not a big deal as I just use the 12v trigger off of the c165 and it works l... 
Have you heard of EMOTIVA?
Excellent to hear as I own the c275bee. Wonder what Dann G has to say about this? 
NAD vs. Cambridge Audio
I pair NAD with NHT and they sound good together as well. 
NAD vs. Cambridge Audio
What I have heard from a couple of dealers who sell both is that the NAD is more dynamic and the Cambridge is warmer/smooth/more polite sounding than the NAD. Also that the new NAD classic series XX5 is superior to the XX2 series in that it is les... 
NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4
NHT is still alive. They have reorganized and are an internet dealer yet still have a number of brick and mortar retailers as well. They just added a third partner Frank Sadowski whose forte is consumer electronics e-commerce.I for one wish them w... 
Rotel vs NAD
The classic NAD warmth isn't quite as apparent in the "upper" end of the classic series, they are more neutral.Both are good brands, what speakers will you be pairing them with?NAD and PSB are very good together (same parent company). I use my NAD... 
NAD Reliability
Actually from what I understand since Lenbrook industries bought out the other owners (NAD was had several owners at one point) in 2001 reliability and quality have gone up. Their new offerings in the 2 channel area (classic series) are very nice.... 
NAD M3 V Vincent 236MKII any experiences??
ShengYa A10CS actually is the Vincent 226 not the 236. For the heck of it check out the Nad c375, you may get what you are after for less. The c375 looks impressive. 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
I really enjoy Buckethead right now. I dig the mask and bucket gear but the talent level is really up there. Love when he and Les Claypool jam, very lively.
