Emotiva ERC 3 cd player versus....

I had the ERC 3 for 10 days and sold it. Very disappointed. Rolled off at the top. I sold the ERC2 to get the ERC3 and did not care for either. I use a Theta Jade as a transport now.

Raf,

If it helps any ...

Stereophile review of the ERC 2 .

Hi fellows!Many thanks for your comments!I had the info I wanted to know.It´s clear to me that I can´t expect a superb hi end cd player/transport a this price range.I guess if I want to make an upgrade from my old Krell Kav 300 cd( which I am using now as transport), and not to spend a fortune, I should look at used transports of the nineties...for instance I would like a Theta Jade or an Audio Alchemy DDS pro,an EAD T 1000 or ARC CDT1.The only precaution I should have is to be sure that spare parts are available, and that´s not a minor issue.So, unfortunately my dream of having a brand new cd/ transport at a very convenient price will not come true.Again Hi End is a very expensive hobby.I will look for used staff of the ninties.Cheers and thanks again!Rafael

Why not just give the ERC-3 a try in your system? Emotiva has a very generous 30 to 45 day return period I think. The cost of shipping the ERC-3 back would be minimal. At least you would then know for sure how it will perform. It isn't like buying something on the used market, trying it and then selling at a sizeable loss if it doesn't mesh with your system.

Hi jedinite24.Thanks for your suggestion but I'm afraid this cdplayer is not what I'm looking for.Anyway everybody is wellcome to leave there opinions in this thread.I'm sure there are many emotiva lovers who wants to read other experiences.Fron what I can see they offer a very good quality products at a cery affordable price and that's is a valuable thing.Best regards!Enjoy the thread!Raf
