Emotiva ERC-1 CD Player --- Review

[RoadRunner6]

Clarification. I wrote the review very late last night. My audiophile friend at work read it today and made some very constructive suggestions (even for a possible retest that he would help with...oh no, I don't have time). In hindsight I realized my ending comments were not as I had intended. The possible conclusion that I felt these players were equal was not accurate.

I modified my review above in my conclusions section to clarify my thoughts. Sorry, if I have confused anyone.

If you do find that you still confused then please double or even triple your dose of Focus Factor!

I am completely 100% thrilled with this purchase! I am a person who wants audio/HT equipment that looks as great as it performs. My wife loves the looks of our equipment with our black piano gloss custom finished speakers, the wall paint custom matched surrounds, the satin black sub with the glossy black Plexiglas inlaid top, the beautiful but subtle XPA-5 with the sexy blue lights, our gorgeous wood, glass, metal Bello component rack and our Panny plasma with the satin black bezel. When she gets home from Japan on Monday there is no doubt in my mind that she will think the ERC-1 is stunning.

PS: The blues lights don't photograph well with my little camera. They are not quite as bright as they look in the photo. There is a dim button on the remote to turn them off although the power button light remains on.
