Linn Ikemi vs. Arcam FMJ CD33

Tony's right Ikemi does sound it's best on jazz,acoustic and vocals but to my ears sounded lacking with rock and more complex recordings.....

I'm not sure if the Arcam is out yet so I haven't heard it.
What I would say is if you are in the States then the Ayre CX-7 is certainly a better buy than the Ikemi-I tried the Ikemi in my system and the Ayre was well ahead of it on every level.
Even here in the UK where the Ayre equates to £3k then I would say even with the Ikemi at £1k less ( list price)that it was still a better buy.
Of course ideally you must audition yourself and preferably in your own system.
Hope this helps.
