Linn Ikemi still viable at 4k

Hello fellow audiogoners, wondering if the Ikemi is
still a contender in the 3/4thousand price range. I am contemplating the purchase of a demo, but not sure it
competes with the newer technologies. I cannot compare to anything else as there is no chance of demoing at home. I would appreciate your thoughts.
thanks

I liked the Cary 303/200 better at the price, and I have an LP12 for vinyl. For what it's worth!

I that price range you should look for:
MARANTZ DV - 12 S2
MERIDIAN 588
NAIM CDX
ICOS CD Pro
SONY SCD - 77 ES

Forget about Linn.

I've owned an Ikemi for several years now and think it is a great player, provided your main music is not rock. I have not heard a better player for jazz, acoustic and vocals, but it doesn't have a tremendous amount of bass. On the other hand, you won't get better mids and highs without spending a whole lot more money. I do agree with Kennyt, you should not spend more than $2500 for a demo and at that price, it's a great value.
