| What's wrong with Thiel? SS: good response!What I'd like to add is that Thiel has always taken the flat, neutral spectral response school of crossover design and tweeter padding, so his speakers sound lean and too-bright in most systems. Adding a flat, therefore bright-so... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Turn off refrigerator! The improvement will melt you away!(And your ice cream...) | |
| Can Someone Explain This? All beter now? The EMC-1 MkII takes a good 300+ hrs to break in. I like mine best with Discovery Essence, as previous time with Siltech, Red Dawn and Harm Tech Pro-Silways were a bit fatiguing due to flatter highs (brightness). Maybe your IC is to... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps It's a year later now, and my EMC-1 MkII has been flawless save for button-sticking due to expansion of the plexifascia...easily remedied at home. Cheers! | |
| Comparing Electrocompaniet EMC-1 and Cary 306/200? Ha! My wife voted our emc-1 mkII as the ONLY component she'd tolerate on top of our closed-rack system (Magnum Dynalab tuner too 50s sci-fi looking; Aleph Pre too austere;Alesis Masterlink WAY too boy-toy-busy; Aleph monos fortunately under floor ... | |

| My EMC-1 24 192 experience I must say that after a year I'm still enthralled by my EMC-1 MkII's performance. A Discovery Essence slightly sweetened the presentation over previous Siltech and Nordost XLRs, BTW. Have fun. Ernie | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 and Hot Weather My back-track button sticks; I'll try a slightly-simpler scheme: after removing the plexi fascia, I'll use a small piece of rolled-up sandpaper to CONCENTRICALLY ream the circle larger. The springiness of the rolled up sandpaper will cause it to e... | |
| Pre-amp questions for SCD-1 & EMC-1 I run an EMC-1 MkII through an Aleph P and Aleph 2 monos.Absolutely nothing digital, too-bright-or-dark about the results. Good luck. Ern | |
| Review: Nordost Red Dawn 1M Interconnect High Fna,I run 12 and 18' Red Dawn XLR between Aleph P and Aleph 2 monos, and can report NO noise issues! So don't be concerned.Enjoy them!Ern | |
| Best sounding CD player for 6,000. Gotta agree with Blackchevy: my Electrocompaniet EMC-1 WITH Mk II DAC floats my boat REALLY well. | |
| Home Theater for 10K I didn't read all the posts, but here's what I'm asembling right now:Spendor SP3/1P and SC3 up front ($1200 used); Boston Acoustics VMX surrounds (they're one of the few that sound NATURAL with boundary reinforcement, unlike the PSB or JM Labs); B... | |
| Bonnie Raitt / Lyle Lovett Tour Ah...!FLASHBACK: "Let's go grab some houmas and baba ganoush at the Welles, honey." "Anybody playing tonight?" "Oh, Bonnie's probably there again, so it'll be fun." "Yeah, but she's always a bit loud and scratchy. And you just like her bod!" "Aw, ... | |
| Verity Parsifals vs 1st series Talon KhorusX I've been in love with my Parsifal Encores for a year and a half now.Earlier comments re "slow" or "insufficient" bass are puzzling. Then I remember the chat I had with the designer Julien Pelchat:The Encore uses an INCREDIBLY fast 8" custom Dynau... | |
| Review: B & W Loudspeakers Nautilus 805 Monitor You really like that tweeter?I just stole a used pair of Spendor 3/1P and find the difference in musicality and overall "ease" pretty convincing...and for half the price!I understand the bass-shy smaller 3/5 are even MORE neutral!I have just retur... |
