I had a new Jupiter 2000 and traded it in on a Ikemi. The Genki was a second choice over the Jupiter, I just decided the Ikemi was what I would always crave so I plunged. But I was very disapointed in the Rega. I had an original Planet and thgought it was good especially for the money. But the Jupiter was not a 1200.00 leap in sound. And it skipped, even Sam Tellig makes mention of this flaw in review of the Planet 2000. The Genki was a much more detailed and "vinyl" sound than the Jupiter. But if you can make the jump the Ikemi somehow brings it all together.
