The Ikemi is very refined but also very laid back with soft bass. I am a big fan of the player but the 508.24 has a more powerful, controlled bass, a little more up front and overall I found it to be a more exciting player.
Linn Ikemi vs. Electro. EMC1 vs. 508.24
These three players are all priced about the same on the used market. Has anyone had any experience comparing the three players. I am considering upgrading my CD. Current system includes Plinius 8150, B&W 803s. I listen to jazz, classical, some rock. Small listening room. Thanks, Joel
