No sweat?
Seriously though; you can buy an Oppo 103 for $399 (refurb directly from Oppo and with full warranty), and don't have to send it back ever. And it will automatically upgrade itself.
The Emo CD player might have better sound quality (or not) @ playing CDs, and it is a very respectable choice one can make.
* And the Oppo too you can check free for 30 days. ...Plus, best customer service in the entire audio industry.
AK world, I need to amend my last statement as to the noise that I was experiencing while playing CD's yesterday. I put in a couple of CDs today, on my brand new emotive ERC 3 and strangely there is much less noise coming from the CD player than yesterday? In fact it's very quiet?
I'll report back in a couple of weeks when it's good and broken as to the sound.
I know this is an old thread, but I need answers. I'm going to purchase a ERC2 or 3. I think the idea of a slot loader is pretty cool, no tray to worry about. But what is the main difference between the units spec wise? I would guess the the 3 is better, I mean it would make sense that the company would improve each model right? Feedback please.
man that sucks. They are just not good at fixing things over there. if you get it new, you are "Probably" ok. at least I was. But they don't have a very good track record with me either since my etc 2. so sad. they could really be awesome. They must not put a lot of money into their repair people. I think the units are full of quality engineering, but......
