Dbuil, congrats on your purchase of what I feel is the finest CD player under 6000.00. I was at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest this past weekend and spent some time with the Linn Factory Reps. One comment he made in a conversation about the Unidisk SC in comparision to the Unidisk 1.1 "there is a lot more of the Sondek in the Ikemi than there is of the 1.1 in the SC, we should have marketed the Ikemi at a higher price"
I use the Cardas Cross power cord and Cardas Golden Reference IC's and I have it sitting on a 1/2" piece of laminated glass that rest on AudioQuest AQ feet (sorbathane)
I love my Ikemi sound, it is as close to a analog sound that I can afford in a CD player.
One note to add, press the "0" on your remote to toggle the digital output on or off for a cleaner sound.
Enjoy
Theo
