| pre's and amps that match well with Electro EMC-1 Hi Judith....I too use my MkII with all-Pass Aleph P and 2 monos. Exquisite. DO RUN BALANCED, whatever you do! Even Electrocompaniet strongly recommends this...and it's not about the +6dB....Despite highly-linear speakers in the nearfield (Parsifa... | |
| Copper v. Silver Actually, gold is NOT a better conductor than silver, but simply doesn't oxidize, therefore being nice stuff for plating connectors, right? Silver's nice beacuse of low electrical resistance AND the fact that its oxide is conductive, unlike copper... | |
| Cable length Uh oh! C'mon Sean, I'm not too sure about your explanation of this, and I'm tired. But the biggest issue re the problem with longer speaker cables is the fact that the amp sees them as part of the passive crossover network of your speakers! If the... | |
| "Neutral" speaker cable, around 200 used Polk 25, Paradigm Atom, NAD SuperOne are all decent $200 used choices. None of these have the classy natural midrange of the baby Spendors or new Quad 11L, though.... | |
| New Generation of CD Players Which is Best? Here we go again....I'm mesmerized each time I spin even an OLDER CD on my Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII. I just bought a bunch of 3-6L EMI, LSO, et al CDs in Scotland last summer (about 80!), and am surprised how good these classical compilations s... | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Gave up my aging MR2T 5 sp after losing my left leg due to acute sciatica following a misstep into a rabbithole, so am sufficing with one of my 10 Subies (a 2k Legacy GT black Sedan at the moment). Someday a used Audi S4 for all-purpose use, or pe... | |
| B&W 804's Vs. Vienna Acoustic Beethoven You're correct on both accounts: the N804 has a very lean (im)balance...B&W's attempt to make a small-scale 803N to satify the US distributo's request for a lower price-point item is quite a failure! As well, ALL Nautilus require a rather dist... | |
| Home theater speaker Will's probably right! I assembled an affordable but MUSICAL, natural-sounding perfectly-matched front trio from used Spendor s3/1p ($800) and new SC3 ($550). I'm astonished at how seamless this frontstage is! Wall-mounted Boston Acoustics VR-MX b... | |
| Pass X-250 Owners Power Cable of Choice I use older Pass Labs Aleph 2 monos, is that's transferable, and am quite happy with Belden 83802 dediated lines AND PCs. (DIY Kits for which I put together for $32, if I'm allowed to state that.)The 83802 offers more subtle details than the stock... | |
| best CD transport available? Comfortably irreproachable: EMC-1 | |
| OK, best speakers for 2500 USED...... Revel F30. | |
| Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers? Room treatment! | |
| Best Speaker Cable Connectors Cold-crimp is the issue, so use whatever system that leaves a TIGHT connection. |
