Linn Unidisk Advice

Hi,

I am currently looking to get more info on the Linn Product line and wanted to know what people thought of Linn's Unidisk?

If you had to purchase a cd player is there much difference between an SC,Unidisk 1.1 and 1.2?

Which do you feel is the best buy for value? I listen and watch movies 50/50.

I need to audition them but was thinking if I like them is it worth trying a second hand 1.1 or getting a new 1.2 or SC?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for the advice Deven8 and Anupmc!

Deven8...I saw your system posted on Audiogon and thought it looked fantastic. I just purchased a brand new pair of 802D's and am looking to upgrade my cd as well as amp and pre amp. I really like the Linn line but have yet to test it out. I really like the compact nature of it and hope the sound is a good match with my 802D's.

As for the cd players my budget was more in the Unidisk SC and 1.2 range but something tells me I should save a little longer and get the 1.1 if I like it.

Anupmc...My dealer does carry Linn so I will scheduling a demo soon.

Putty,

I just listened to a 1.2 today but only for a short while with Mac equipment. It was very detailed but could not compare to other products. I do not listen to SACD or DVD-A but it is attractive to have the option. I wonder how much better the famed Sondek CD12 compares to the 1.1?

What are some players less than the Unidisk 1.1 that you recommend for redbook? I plan to use the system in both HT/2CH. At the moment I have a Pioneer Elite DVD player. It is quite good with DVD's. Is the Unidisk better you think in video than the Pioneer Elite?
