Electrocompaniet owners

I don't doubt that they sent you the correct parts.

Im glad things are finally going your way Ernie.

I visited my pro tech today (they're going to sell the PCs I started making last fall! ha.), and derek thinks that replacing the 24 diodes may be a bit tedious as the board photos seem to indicate double-sided boards. So I'll let him do it indeed. The parts consist of 24 tiny identical diodes and three ordinary electrolytics that connect across them. Nothing else on the DAC or analogue board, though, just the power supplies' diodes. Wish I could tell you definitively if I can hear a difference afterward. I'll be back after the mod. Thanks. BTW, the diodes say MUR 120 0247 pk on them. My tech didn't recognize them. Anything exotic? Cheers.

Hi guys. I took a few cleansing breaths and plowed ahead, installing the 27 parts myself. Differences in soundstage "fleshiness" are immediate, and positive. Top octave extension is improved, and a delight!
EC has restated that the US distributor WILL service all EMC-1 EXCEPT those graymarketed into the US. O boy....
My estimate is that there are a bunch (including the dozen or so Danish-sourced units) out there that are the MKII WITHOUT the "UP"grade. If any owners of these would like to have the "UP'grade installed let me know. Maybe I can help.
All other service requests should of course be made at one's local EC dealer. Cheers.

Congratulations, I'm really happy your pleased with the results. How long did it take? Sorry, but I find EC's position on this matter unacceptable. I will not buy or recommend their products so long as they maintain this policy.
