Electrocompaniet vs. Resolution Audio

I have an EMC-1 and although, I have not heard the player you have listed. I found the EMC-1 to be very tempermental. I was playing it on glass, big NO NO, so I switched it on to a wood table, much better in every way. Then I pulled off there feet and used racing cones #4, again a big improvement again. This CD player has to be the twickiest thing I have came across.

I have owned both the Cd-50 and Cd-55 as well as the EMC-1 and they are all very good. The Res. and Electro sound different and IMO it is not a question of better or worse only what is your preference. Try and hear them both and your choice will probably be clear as to which is best for you.

Briweve, I remember your post on another thread. You thought the EMC-1 bright. I have the EMC-1 and I have it sitting on the Neuance Beta which sits on the Mana mini table. If the cost is not an issue please give this combination a try. I have tried many different materials under the EMC-1 and none came close to the performance of the Neuance/Mana combo. Feel free to Email me for more details. I have nothing to do with Mana or Neuance. I am just curious to see if your jaw drops to the floor as mine did.

Glide3, how would you contrast the three products?

Fpeel, I am not very good at the descriptions but I'll try... and keep in mind that this is in the context of my room with my system. The EMC-1 provided a warmer sound which at first can give you the impression of reduced detail and dynamics until you realize that all the info is there. I found it to be very musical with good timbre and a nice overall presentation. The res. products have a similar presentation to each other which in general is very detailed and dynamic but not harsh or in your face. They seemed closer to neutral. Which would sound better to someone to me is largely a matter of associated equipment, musical preference and personal taste. They are all built very well but the aesthetix are totally different.
