Nowhere in the http://www.empeg.com/ web site, or in the user guide is the superb quality of the unit stated

Hmm, well we don't have huge flashing banners (pun intended) screaming "the future is here! now! yes, really, this IS IT! BUY BUY, its the BEST EVER". After all, we're British, and have an obligation to run a quietly understated company

Nonetheless, we do sing our own praises in a number of places, the front page for example:

Since launching our world acclaimed in-car MP3 player we have grown to become the foremost developer of in-car and networked digital music players. We have developed products for world leading brand names in the automotive and domestic technology markets...

Anyway, the job of a reviewer is to IGNORE the hype, and explore the product for himself or herself.

You have a point though - I couldn't immediately locate the part of our site that said how damn good the car player really is. We assume that the specification talks for itself, but as we expand into a more consumer orientated marketplace we should probably emphasise things like the high audio quality, parametric EQ and total froodyness.
