AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs

Frank,
How would you compare the PD with the APL?

Two things:

1. In my opinion, Andreas Koch is not only a very skilful designer but also a very nice person.

2. Several NWO owners have the PD at home and, from what I know, they like the way it sounds.

Hope this helps!

Best,
Alex

Suteetat,

Thanks for the well thought out response to my posting. I think that the PD and the XDS1 are both great machines but that they will appeal to different buyers. Likewise, the choice may in the end be somewhat system dependent. A lengthy review of the XDS1 will soon appear in www.dagogo.com.

Leading advertising How do you convince me you recommend me the Playback Designs and you have Emm Labs least the pictures of your audio system. just desolate reality and truth.

Rilou,

'leading advertising'....not sure i get your meaning.

i am guilty of neglecting to update my system page as far as all the details, here and on audioasylum for a few years, sorry. i've had the Playback Designs MPS-5 (and the EMM Labs has been gone) since the summer of 2006 (or 2007?....i did get a very early PD) as i recall.

there always seems to be something more important to do....like listen to music.....spend time with my wife....etc.etc.

i promise to 'intend' to update it soon. don't hold your breath....

if you read my posts on my system page they tell the story of my system progress over time. there are a few of them to get through however.

best regards,

Mike, Thanks for the reply, everything is clear with this answer, I could not get the chance to directly compare the emm XDS1 and Playback Designs.
I already have the Emm DCC2 SE and SE CDSD I already sold.

Thank you for trying to convince me with the values of the device you recommend me to purchase such as PD. WHY ?.

Thanks.
