Emerson BITCHES...

[steveinaz]

How do you like me now? huh? Yeah, that's a dual CD setup--your eyes aren't deceiving you. Brushed aluminum look too. $7.35 off ebay (shipping was $412.85 though). This thing rocks, the midrange is in-yo-face with presence..note the toe-in on the speaks---puts you right in the sweet spot. Stellar. Spend 5 minutes listening to this rig, and you'll never want to hear music again, it's that good.

My Yorx with dual cassette could kick its ass.

[PolkThug]

It ain't got the thump of my Spark-o-Matic 6x9's!

[steveinaz]

Yeah, but does your system use "oxygenated" 28 gauge real copper wire?

OWNED.

cassette...ppppfffffftttttttt...NEXT. Get real. When I set this rig up on the kitchen table, put my chin on the table, about 9" from the speaks...BAM! Soundstage that is surreal.

oh snap! :D

[steveinaz]

Yep. No sound degrading terminations either--raw, twisted copper baby. Oh, and something else I've never seen on high-end stuff---right on the front---INSTRUCTIONS--bam, right there. If I'm thinking "man, how do I pause this again?" I look at the instructions, it says "press = to pause" done, lickity-split.

The manual even suggest some setup ideas:

- do not place in direct sunlight
- do not place near a heat source
- do not submerge in water

...and check this, MADE IN MALAYSIA...isn't that where the big Jesus statue is? How cool is that? Can you tell I'm excited?

[venomclan]

Finally a good piece of gear for ya. :D

[dkg999]

But will it drive LSi speakers? It must have a 4 ohm certification doesn't it?

[cubdog]

Emerson = Bose killer.

You must not have heard me..this is EMERSON. Why in the world would I hook up LSI's to an EMERSON?? You're obviously not aware of power this thing puts out.

[AdamRagland]

i'm more of a coby fan myself....

[Keiko]

I think I have an old Lloyds 8 track that could go head to head with it Steve. :p

[cfrizz]

ROTFLMAO!!!

Congrats Steve on your best upgrade to date!:D

[lightman1]

Well..sh*t.. in hopes of keeping up with y'all, I guess I'll be selling my 2Ch rig..

[John in MA]

I'll swap you my Phase Linear/Adcom/Thorens/Pioneer/1.2TL system. I now realize you can't top the Emerson.

now THAT is something that the entire family can enjoy,just think,, family huddled around after dinner,,kids fighting for the sweetspot,,,chins on the table,,ready,, here we go,,,Alice Cooper's "Schools Out":)

[reeltrouble1]

looks like a nice unit, discloses power rating for each channel driven, not cheap at 1000 bucks, I am sure it brought a lot of enjoyment to folks.

Well, the Yorx is from the 1978 Heathkit Christmas Catalog (Heathkit!? isn't that sad...) and the Emerson's from the 1979 Lafayette catalog.

[Fongolio]

I've got a Candle 8-track recorder/turntable rig that with a pair of B & W 804's will kick that bitches ass!!! 3 watts/channel of sheer audio heaven. Shove a pack of matches on top of the eight track and you get 12dB gain on the treble!!

[dorokusai]

I like that CDP that looks like an old wooden record player.....hell it even plays records. Crosby?

[heiney9]

Snazzy!
