Sounds phenomenal, especially with jazz!

Nice!

I concur. Music Hall & Creek makes great, affordable cd players.

I listen on a Linn system - Linn Majik (amp), Mimik (CD) and a set of Keilidh's.

Everything sounds ace on it.

One of the best systems I ever heard was an all-Linn featuring their original CD12. I own an LP12/IttokIV/Lingo turntable and always lusted after that CD player (CD12). Alas, it's out of production now and was originally priced at FIVE figures so it goes into the ones-that-got-away-file!

Some love the Linn sound - some not. I clearly fall into the love category. I heard that player, and it's ace - but since Linn no longer make CD players........

I use a Sony DVD player with my best audio system, and it sounds fine. I have a very good "mid-fi" system with a preamp, power amp, bookshelf speakers, and subwoofer. Peace and goodwill.
