I had the Linn Ikemi and the EMC-1 as the final two CDPs I was trying to decide on last year when I was in your situation.I heard the Linn but not the EMC-1 and upon reading a lot about both players I went with the EMC-1 and never look back. A really great CD player for the money.
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
