Introduction

Emotiva is an A/V brand well-known to all of us who are dollar-concious (and in this economy, that's a lot of people, including me). As such, we search out products that look good, sound good, are well-built, and don't have our Mastercard^® refuse the charge because it is over our limit. That doesn't mean we expect everything, such as 1/2" thick brass face plates and fully balanced outputs. We just want a good value. Something that gives a little more than we might otherwise expect for the price.

That's Emotiva.

We have reviewed several of their products, which includes speakers as well as electronics.

The subject of the current review is their new USP-1 Stereo Preamplifier.
