EMM Transport V. Meitner Phillip Transport
I have the phillips and have listened to it with my DCC2 for 4+ months now and when the CDSD shows up I can offer my opinion on the two, however I am told from other Emm owners that the improvements with the transport are substantial. As a preamp ... 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Frankg is exactly right, I am a cheap bastard and there is NO way I would have spent this much if I felt it wasn't a good "value". The verdict is still out on the transport, however, it seems pretty clear to me that the DCC2 is hard to beat- if no... 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Great review, now I am even more eagerly awaiting my CDSD to show up! I have heard from another DAC6 owner that the DCC2 was a large improvement across the board, he could not believe it. This review vaguely reminds me of my initial DCC2 review, w... 
EMM DCC2 & Learning Remote
I am in a some what similar situation, however I am awaiting my CDSD and am using a $149 DVD player I had laying around and while its no where near as good as with the meitnerized phillips, the sound is still really really good. I can not help you... 
should everyone just order emm?
I am an idiot so I can not explain this in detail, however, as I understand it(as told from the folks at emm labs) it all boils down to mathmatics. They've solved a "problem" mathmatically and have marketed it well, I think it is highly unlikely t... 
Speaker connection for Maggie 3.6R
Slipknot1's suggestion would work well, but what would work even better is just to replace those horrible little binding posts with what ever tickles your fancy. The crossover's come apart very easily and replacing them will be a cinch- you may be... 
AA capitole mk2 VS. Wadia 861
The audio aero wins hands down, there is no listening fatigue. Very few cd players at any price range can offer the musical enjoyment that can be had from the AA cap. MKII, I have never owned wadia, but have auditioned them many many times and alw... 
Newburgh, New York
Hello, I am a bit north of you(Albany) however I am in the Newburgh area from time to time and there are others in your area- even more a bit further south. There is a small group of us that get together from time to time, I must warn you we are a... 
EMM DCC2 V. EMM Transport
I can, in part, answer your question. I currently own a DCC2 and meitnerized phillips, I plan on ordering the CDSD next month. In the mean time my phillips(I know your not going to believe this) crapped out on me, so I am using a $149 DVD player a... 
Who u gots da most uv???
I just looked and it appears the clear winner is W.A. Mozart, coming in at 42 cd's. And I will try to nail down my "favorite", however it will be difficult. No matter what's going on in my life, Mozart has music that I can enjoy/relate to time and... 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
huh huh, pull my finger 
Best DAC with Volume Control?
Emm labs DCC2 
what preamp for Tenor 150Hps or 300Hp ?
I hate to ask the obvious but, why don't you sell your DAC6e and get a DCC2? Your going to spend more then the difference between the two on the preamp alone(which you also get built in with the DCC2). Its also one less break in the signal path, w... 
reliability of Audio Aero capitole mk II
I used to own one, mine had the p2 chip and worked flawlessly during my ownership. I had it upgraded to a P4 chip- to be honest I liked the way it functioned better with the P2 chip. I sold it and have not heard anything back from the fellow who b... 
MG 20.1 or Wisdom audio m-75
I do not own the speakers but have listened to them stock more then a few times. Gladstone has the 20.1's with a very similar system to mine and has upgraded them- his comparison of the speaker stock vs. modified was EXACTLY what I have experience...
