Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ?

I clearly prefer the Audio Aero Capitole. It is the best sounding CD player that I have heard and with the ability of running direct, you can sell your preamp and acheive better sound.

The next batch of MK II's are on their way. If you decide on one and do not have a dealer in your area, drop me an email and I will place an order for you.

If I thought the EMC-1 was competitve with the Audio Aero, I would be carrying it as well. It is not, so I do not.

Rxlarry99,

With all due respect to Jtinn, there are many that would disagree with his statement that the Audio Aero is better than the EMC-1. With that said, the Audio Aero is a wonderful player and one of the top 5 or so digital solutions on the market. I can't imagine anyone not being happy with either the EMC-1 or the Audio Aero. When you get to this level of performance (and price), the differences between products become more than anything else, a simple matter of taste, IMHO (the listener's preferred sonic presentation, build-quality, cosmetics, etc.)

I prefered the EMC-1 (IMO) the build quality is better. These two players sound different but in my experience neither one was superior to the other; just different. You really need to listen to both and then make your decision. Of both of these one box redbook players players I prefered the Accuphase DP75V.
