Emo at it again

If the USP-1 sounds better than the UMC-1 I picked up a few months ago, you'll be happy. As a pre-amp, it certainly sounds better than any of the integrateds or pre-amps I've owned and definitely upgraded the Yamaha receiver it replaced. Let us know how it goes.

Emotiva has great service as well. I needed a few interconnects and had some Monster THX speakers which needed re-termination. The Monster's bananas were too small (a known problem, I found out about too late) and would fall out of the speaker terminals. Emo has termination kits which include four very nice banana plugs, black and red insulators (which the individual +/- speaker wires through) and shrink tubing for a neat look. 2M Ultra stereo interconnects were $8/pr and the termination kits $8 a set, free shipping.

When the package arrived, I terminated the Monster cables (which now have nice "Emotiva" labels on them), but found there were several set screws missing from the termination kits. I emailed Emotiva and Cathy said they would "round up a few" set screws and ship them to me. I expected either a very small box, or envelope with a few set screws inside. Instead, they sent entire replacements kits within a few days. I know at $8/ea, they won't break the bank, but it gives some insight into their attitude towards customer satisfaction.

In the past they had also been very flexible. I purchased a pair of ERM-1 when they were on clearance and an XPA-5. If you purchased three or more ERM-1s you received free shipping, otherwise shipping was $10/pr. After hearing the ERM-1s, I decided to buy a third for the front end of another 5.1 system. Emotiva not only shipped the third speaker free, but credited the $10 I paid for the previously pair. I have no complaints about their quality or service.

Ya know, I remember picking up an LPA-1 a couple of years ago, just don't remember what I did with it...

OH! Here it is on its way to its final resting place behind the brown door:



Outta sight outta mind I guess. I should take it out and pet it once-in-a-while, don't you think?
