Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ?
Owned the Mk I- seductive yet detailed, but ultimately not enough PRT. EMC I liked better- bass more substantial. However, I have gone into separates- more $$ but infinitely better IMO. YRMV...

Tweak- Gamut was very disappointing- no bass... 
better quality "Y" adapter needed
I believe Purist Audio makes very high quality adapters sch as this 
CD Player: Audio Aero Capitole Mk I vs. Mk II
MK II has better bass- built on aluminum sub-chassis- Mk I wood subchassis. MK II is better machine, although I did very much enjoy the MK I while I owned it- it is the one that created the cult Audio Aero following for a little while! 
Differences between Totem Model 1- bi vs Model 1-Sig
contact Vince at Totem- he can answer this one 
Alternatives to Ensemble Power Link
be careful- apparently not everyone is as enamored with the PS stuff as some of the reviewers... 
Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 too foward and bright?
by the way- heard the Electro EMC MK II, and the bass was way better than the Cap- MK I or II

Review: Coincident Speaker Tech Total Victory Speaker
Pete- I don't disagree, and actually, have finally made up my mind. I am going to wait until I can spring for the TV's- they are worth the wait- room size be damned! have a good weekend. 
Best Cd player 1000.00 range used as transport ?
Sean- I can't disagree with that logic- there are some very good older dacs. Actually, i heard form a guy I trust that the Manley Reference dac (not sold anymore, and retailed for, like big bucks) is superb- you're right, due to proper power suppl... 
Best Cd player 1000.00 range used as transport ?
Sean- I have been the high-end one-box route, and would not go back that way unless something came along that blew me out of the water. Transport-Dac combo is the way to go IMHO. 
Review: Coincident Speaker Tech Total Victory Speaker
Natalie (Peter)- larger room would be better, but I can't say HOW large- Israel would know that better. My current listening room is only 10'x16', so I think the TV is going to be a bit big actually. I am most likely ordering another pair of Super... 
Best Cd player 1000.00 range used as transport ?
I picked up an Esoteric (Teac) P1 transport for about $900 USD recently- circa 1988. Built like a tank, the transport is actually the top version that uses the Teac VRDS clamping system. Let's put it this way- I sold my Audio Aero Capitole once I ... 
is electro emc1 balanced?
I auditioned the latest EMC I Mk II 'UP' model- bass was exceptional, and good soundstage- no complaints (recently sold a Capitole MK I, and I would consider the EMC slightly superior, mainly due to the bass- build quality appears better as well).... 
Review: Coincident Speaker Tech Total Victory Speaker
Zaikesman- I have also read this, but have put less credance to these comments with regards to the Victory lineup, which I do find you can get great results with using lower powered SET- type amplification, even more so than the Eclipse lineup, wh...
