EMC 1up vs. Ayon cd2 vs. Lector 6t cdp

how would you describe the sound of the emc-1up? does the spider clamp make a significant sonic improvement?

the current service center is SCOTT FRANKLAND & ASSOCIATES
is this who you are referring to?

The spider clamp seemed to solidify the imaging & bass, to me.
I'm not familiar with Scott Frankland & Associates.
Jason Scott Distributing was the US distributor for years.
They were useless....

I called Frankland & associates today-- located in california.. He did not seem to be as prevalent with information to make judgement on work he had performed on a used unit...

I briefly owned the Ayon CD2. I really did not like it and could not sell it fast enough. I found it to have a very forward sound signature that was fatiguing to me.

Others love Ayon digital. To each his own. I would try to demo or buy used. If you have a laid back system, you might like it. My system is fairly revealing...

I have not heard the other CD players you are thinking of, so cannot help on that front.
