Electrocompaniet EMC1 MkIII
After an update on the player after about 500 hours of burn in. Absolutely the best SACD and Redbook playback I have ever heard in any system. It is taking a long time to burn in and the process has been challenging but the soundstage and tonal co... 
Electrocompaniet EMC1 MkIII
Audiotroy,What power cord and interconnects do you find works well with the new player?  I have the player now and find it is very transparent.  Have been trying a number of cables with differing results.  I find the SACD portion of the player to ... 
What's about EDGE Audio ?
I have an Edge NL12.2 and think it is fabulous. Transparent, dynamic, toneful, powerfully- everything you can and should ask for in an amp in that price range. System matching is always important and the Edge amps like a fast, clean sounding speak... 
Building a music server with Ayre DX-5
What are everyone's thoughts on the Ayre DX-5 using the USB input? How does it compare to older ayre products or other digital sources you have used? Soundstage, tonality, imaging, organic versus analytic? Thanks. 
The Hub: News, events, gossip: Come the REVOLUTION
Internships can take on many forms. A "business" need not be large to offer a true learning experience.However, the business will need to put some things into place depending on the learning institution's requirements. There may also be other regu... 
The Hub: News, events, gossip: Come the REVOLUTION
Do manufactures and other parts of the industry offer internships to college/tech school and high school kids? Seems like another way to attract interested parties, have them learn a trade and build a base of younger designers that can really get ... 
The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio?
I'm not ready to retire or die anytime soon nor are the people purchasing ipods. People will always listen to music and "audio". If you look at what computer gamers are doing with computers, displays and sound you'd see many, many parallels to Hig... 
The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio?
Respect the past but embrace today. I often read posts on audio sites like Audiogon and think to myself, "How old are these people? My gosh, they think and talk like no one my age and I'm not exactly young." Ya'll need to start thinking in a "Beat... 
The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio?
I've been proposing a not so unique idea to several of my audio buddies. Since most high-end audio companies are small independent shops, their ability to move their interests beyond the basic business struggles is almost non existent. My suggesti... 
ML 303 vs EDGE NL 10.1
The Edge is an accurate reproducer of your up stream gear. The Benchmark tends to be a bit on the cool side of the audio spectrum. Overall, I'd guess that your system is on the very cool side given you are also using itunes. I suggest the addition... 
Edge NL12.1: what smallish floorstanders/monitors?
I have used Talon Raven's and Khites. Both were good matches and I actually liked the Khite match up a bit more. I now use a one-off speaker specifically designed for the NL 12.1. Note- I still have the Raven's and Khites. You can send me an e-mai... 
Edge CD player
I own an Edge CDP and find it to be a great match with my Conrad Johnson Act 2 pre amp and Edge NL12.1 amp. It required a long time to break in but once it did, everything sounds great. Its greatest strength is imaging and spatial separation. It i... 
Audio Debt?
I wonder how the housing bust and lack of "house money" will effect the audio industry. My guess is that slowdowns in housing may limit extras like high end audio. I'm a bit younger than the typical audiophiles I've met but have been into audio fo... 
Has anyone heard the new edge cdp?
I just purchased one and will post a lengthy review in a few weeks after the holiday season. So for now, I'll use the terms fast, clear, timely, evenly balanced, stunning looks, 3d imaging, and cheap remote to describes its character. Overall, it ...
