Electrocompaniet - What a Piece of Crap! (A bit long)

Folks, please do share your opinions about this brand. No matter if it's about an amplification or a source.

This summer I bought their well-regarded EMC 1UP CD player. Even though it's discontinued, because Philips ceased the Cd Pro2 transport production, the US distributor still has a few pieces. Anyway, after having various glitches it died within a week. I was going to get my money back, but after talking to them decided to get a new unit, which started having glitches after the return period expired. Same kind of glitches the first unit had.

I sent the videos I took to my dealer, who is very helpful BTW, and after he sent them to the distributor, we got no definitive answer about the cause. Which means they still couldn't figure out what happened to the first lemon unit I had. Distributor's reply is so childish that I don't want to put it here not to embarrass him. Now that explains why Electro had that many distributors in the US, and even went out of business once.

Sorry, guys, for this long story, I'm just very frustrated. I bought this thinking it'll be my last player, but it's obviously not gonna happen.

So, again, please share your opinions and experiences, want to find out if I'm the only one this unhappy.

P.S. Since I'm fluent in Russian, I asked a similar question a while back at one of Russian audio forums (EC is quite popular there), and Electro had enough resourses and power to to have all of my posts related to my negative experience removed.
