*yawn*

And a gazillion other manufacturers "cut this corner" too. Like I said, that "voluntary" testing is fine with me. If you'd like to pay extra for the UL testing, be my guest.

Voluntary CE compliance seems to be good enough for the European Union member countries. I don't own any Emotiva gear, but I think nitpicking over that is downright silly.

I looked at a Rotel RMB-1575 recently and I don't think it had the UL mark either (but did have CE). I guess Rotel makes junk and should be avoided too, eh? I think some of Marantz's amps also don't have UL marks. I think you should make a list of all these substandard manufacturers so that none of us novice electronics purshasers get rooked.

Best,
