Not that he needed any more convincing to buy one, but HighWayDrifter just stopped by my office to get a demo of the Empeg. Nice guy. He seemed pretty impressed by the Empeg.

His main concern was the sound quality- he wanted to hear one in action. My car isn't competition quality by any stretch of the imagination, but it managed to showcase the sound well enough for him. I think he came away a believer. I'll let him jump in here and give you his impressions of the Empeg if he wants...

where is HighWayDrifter located? er...i mean...where are YOU located HighwayDrifter?

I'd be happy to give a demo if you'd like... i've got a pretty souped up system, not competition, but it pounds DnB pretty nice. I'm in San Francisco, if you wanna check it out lemme know.

in fairfield bro. work in san ramon stay during the week in fairfield and weekends sometimes (when i can bring my self to go visit my family and not party) sacramento (granite bay to be exact). as for sound quality. I was very impressed with its capabilities.. honestly thought it could have sounded... what is this u say u consider your self an audiophile? ;) *playing devils advocate here* yes i do my thought being the following. im still going to have a cd deck (in glovebox) for those times my freidns hop in and say dude u have to hear this track allso for comps if i ever get to them.. my concern was the following if teh mp3's didnt sound that good or didnt have good freq reproduction will i have to spend another 900 or so for a good dsp and eq. my simple conclusion now is not likely. hell if i need more tweakability with the sound yada yada im sure someone somewhere has made or is thinking of making a hardercore software based eq (my freind has told me about a few in linux allready) + to add to all this it has nifty little lights that blink in cool lil patterns ;)

hell it just rocks u know it, i know it, we all know it.

btw tony is a very cool guy and i appreciate it that he let me see his empeg and listen to it hats off to tony.

BTW tony u will have a perm VIP status at Club Portal, when it is done just cause i can do that..hehe thanx for sitting down and taking the time to talk to me, it was a fun time and well worth the drive to meet u and see the empeg

Wow, other people actually live in Fairfield other than me?
Definately get an empeg man, you know you can't resist.

Btw, Tony really does seem like a nice guy, seems to do nothing but help everyone out around here. Just gotta say thanks to him, I know I'll probably be asking a lot of questions in the future.
