Linn Unidisk 1.1 vs Meridian G98AH for video+CDs


Has anyone compared the Linn Unidisk 1.1 vs Meridian G98AH
for video quality as well as first rate redbook performance?

I am looking for the best universal player that will
also be worthy as a Redbook source in a highend system.
I heard a used Ikemi I really like as a Redbook player
but I was hoping to find a 1-box solution that will
satisfy both needs.

Thanks...

I owned a 1.1 and listed to the G98 several times.

If you like the Ikemi/Linn sound go for the 1.1. The video performance is excellent on both units but if you are after the Linn sound you won't find it with the Meridian.

The 1.1 is the most analog sounding disk player I've ever owned. They are kwirky however and do have the occasional glitch but it sounds great. Get a later production unit and you should be good to go.

I still miss the 1.1 to be honest.
