Electrocompaniet CDP

I am demoing a EMC-1UP CDP from a local dealer. I have always liked this cdp from a distance and am growing fond of it for the few days I have had it so far. Some worries, I really love my vinyl and once I get my new Cart. upgrade and walker motor controler I will love my vinyl even more, (i.e. what do I need a cd player upgrade for?), and I don't know much about the company. Any experience with customer service, realiablity, repairs, US distributor etc? I like the unit, it integrates well into my system and looks great but there are many choices out there and this is not a player the graces the american reviewers desk much. Thanks in advance. PS, system is posted.

So how does the thing sound? How does it compare with other brands? I've been told some good things about this piece.

I owned this player for 3 years and "never" had a problem with it.It is one fine music making machine and I would recommend it highly.

Clement Perry did a review of it on his Stereotimes.com web site.You can go to the archives and look up the review. Mr.Perry gave a rave and I couldn't agree more,the EMC-1UP is one of those hidden gems in the audio world.

Good listening...

I've also owned this player for about 5 years and had no problems whatsoever. It is a great sounding player.

Davt,

"I like the unit, it integrates well into my system and looks great but there are many choices out there and this is not a player the graces the american reviewers desk much"

Can i ask which players that you refered to as "many choices out there". Did you compare them with the EMC-1 UP? I also own the EMC-1 UP AND I also like vinyls. I listen to them both. I don't think you can compare the sound of EMC-1 to the vinyl sound although a lot of people claimed that the EMC-1 was one of the most analog sound CDP's. Which CDp are you owning now? Maybe this is the good point to start with.
