| Cable Suggestions for my system? Well, since my intended header did not appear (haven't participated here in awhile so I'm ignorant of how things work), I want to make it clear that I'm speaking of OMEGA MIKRO cables in my post above. | |
| Cable Suggestions for my system? A pain to set up and dress. Very fragile. Expensive as heck. Look like crap. Probably way overpriced. But I've never heard better and I've heard quite a few. Made my previous cables, Empirical Audio, sound a bit veiled and dull, and Empirical cabl... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions Same results here. Results differ when comparing straight single ended hookup to straight balanced though. The straight balanced is indeed more dynamic with slightly enhanced detail. Not enough to convince me to "upgrade" my pre however. In fact, ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions My pre is tubed and my amp is a hybrid w/tube input and ss output. The slight loss of bloom has nothing to do with the pre and amp. The BAT D5 is simply a better performer where bloom and 3D voices are concerned. Especially with the NOS Amperex an... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions Agreed, it's the sound that counts, but the price tag does too when you're on the poorer side of audiophoolishness. Seems to me, it doesn't need to cost quite so much. But then, what does in this hobby? I have great admiration for companies like B... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions Tvad: It's actually a RCA-XLR and it's a Empirical Holophonic my acquaintance owns that he doesn't use anymore. No hum. Yes, I really like the EMC-1UP sonically. That said, I've had some problems with it that remain intermittant and minor. Occasio... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions Some of these guys have great imaginations. I've owned a EMC-1UP for several months now and have heard my player running both ways. Initially I purchased a pair of high quality XLR to RCA adapters so that I could use the XLR outputs of the EMC-1. ... | |
| What is your favorite low-tech tweek? Getting my wife and son out of the house. The system always sounds amazing then. | |
| Is the EMC Spider Clamp available yet? As an owner of a EMC-1, I'm troubled by EC's apparent inability to get the Spider to market. The gadget seems simple enough to me. I get the feeling that EC isn't putting much effort into it or, they're just downright inept in Norway. In either ca... | |
| BAT VK-D5 or VK-D5SE?? Help I owned a D5 for 4 years. On three different occasions I auditioned the SE version and came away unimpressed when compared to my D5 with Siemens or Amperex 7308s plugged in. To my ears, my D5 was livelier sounding. The SE sounded dark by compariso... | |
| EMC-1UP vs. Cary 306/100 Subaruguru: I own a EMC-1UP and run it single ended with excellent results. I've also heard mine in a balanced system, and while it was punchier and a bit livelier with a touch more detail, the difference was not staggering by any means. If a cdp ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player At times I start to think that the Spider Clamp's obscurity is a deliberate ploy to heighten interest in it. Wow, it's here! I won't notice it costs way too much! Here's my hard earned $$$$! Gimme, gimme, gimme!!!!Really, just how difficult can th... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player That's an excellent suggestion and one I will look into. I don't mind doing a bit of Electrocompaniet's work for them if it will improve sonics. Now, if only the elusive Spider Clamp would emerge from its cacoon. | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player Subaruguru: My EMC-1 is the latest "UP" version. Still, I think focus is not the best I've heard. As far as the RCA v balanced connection thing goes. If indeed the RCAs are wired with cheap hook-up wire as you say, it does not speak well of EC con... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player FS Audio....Didn't say my EMC-1 lacked focus, it's just not the last word in that regard judging by a couple of other top notch players I've heard recently IMS. Also compared my EMC-1 to a Accuphase DP-85 (16 Grand retail) in someone else's system... |
