| Is there anything to match a Naim CDSII? Don't know your budget, but feel the Linn Ikemi is a great player for the money. Their CD12 is among the best available, but at least 11K on the used market. | |
| Best Used CD Player 1500-3000 Good list. Don't overlook the very fine Linn Ikemi. I use it with B&W 803s and am very pleased. | |
| Best Used CD Player 1500-3000 Yes, indeed, a good group of players. Don't overlook the Linn Ikemi (used around $2,200 - 2,400). Lots of great options. | |
| What cd player should I buy? Add the Linn Ikemi (used around $2.2 - 2.4K) to your audition list. It is very nice. Joel | |
| It's Been an Allison Kind of Month...... Thanks for the tip. I love good female vocals and have just ordered "Alabama Song." Wish more Agon threads would contain music recommendations. Joel | |
| Average age of audiophiles My dad had a Zenith hi-fi in the '50s. I bought a Pioneer system with a Teac tape deck in the late '60s and gave it all away in the '80s. With the help of my son, Brian, I have begun putting together a better system - Ikemi, Plinus, B&W - and ... | |

| CD Player to match with ARC and B&W 802 Martix I heard a new ARC CD3 today in an all ARC system with Wilson-Benesch Act Ones at a Dallas dealer, Audio Concepts. I didn't want to leave. Since they are new, not many, if any, used units around. I use a Linn Ikemi with a Plinius 8150 integrated th... | |
| Do you drink when you listen? We're all bearing our souls . . . but in 1970, when I returned to the world from Viet Nam, a friend introduced me to hashish and Carlos Santana at the same time. I'll never forget "Evil Ways." The music took on a whole new dimension. I wish doctor... | |
| Best/Worst sound at CES and T.H.E. Show? I was particularly impressed with the sound in the showroom at the Imperial Palace. | |
| Copy-protected CDs - philosophical discussion Follow-up question . . . Do the retailers know which of their CDs are copy-protected? Thanks, Joel | |
| Opinions? Creek5350+B&W 802/3 OR Meridian DSP 5500 David,What are the dimensions of your listening room? I have a pair of Matrix 803s that, if you are interested, I might part with. I'm in a small listening room (10 x 11) and the 803s need more room to breathe.Joel | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? You do owe it to yourself. I was not convinced until I listened myself. How does it fix the electricity in the last four feet? How does a Pur Water Filter clean water, even though it's been running in a polluted river? Most high-end power cords do... |
