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 (Parsifal Encores in an 8' triangle), this system is VERY natural, non-digital-sounding, and thus forgiving of older digital transfers WITHOUT loss of musical detail or HF air. Can't imagine the new "UP" mod could be better! Any comments from the brave?

I use mine with pass labs X-1 pre and the combination is very satisfying.

i use mine with pass labs x250 and BAT VK 40
and it just rocks.

My Pass dealer put the current EMC-1 in their reference Pass Labs system. It sounds great & was surpassed only by the top YBA player w/dual power supply, (that's an $8500.00 player).......

I'm using a Supratek Chardonay preamp and Plinius SA-250 MK IV amp with my EMC 1.
The combination of the three is the best I heard on my system yet. We have the same preference in music it seems like Jazz and Rock.

Ummm...how about Electrocompaniet?
