I have been tempted many times to the EMC1 here because of the cheap prices almost new. There has to be a reason. Everytime I look there is another one for sale. How many have they sold in the US? 1000, less? My buddies Meridian has a serial number from 1998 in the ten thousand range! That's three years ago, but you can't find the same proportion of them for sale. I've never seen so many buyer remorse stories on this site as people who have sold their Meridians and been bummed out by what they've ended up with.
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
