Used Linn Genki CD Player

[slow_jazz]

Any thoughts on buying one of these used off ebay??

I heard their 2,000 dollars new and it's going for $510.

How would it compare to a newer Music Hall cd player??

Thanks,
Greg

I own a 2nd Hand Genki and so far no problems at all and sounds amazing!!!

For $510.00 is a steal!!!

Be curious to hear your impressions of this Linn. Cannot recall ever hearing one.

well no inside pics from me! it works perfectly, always had, and i plan on keeping it that way!

i love it. it was the best cd player i have heard under 3k (Canadian) at the time, now the rega and others may be better but i had auditioned it against the highly regarded arcam fmj33 and at first the arcam was better but the more i listened the more the arcam sounded like it added something while the linn just sounded more natural... kind of like mcintosh where at first others impress but after a while you become fatigued and wish you had bought something more musical?

it has never had a hiccup, disc error, need turning off and on etc. in many years of playing and i cant say that for anything else i have owned long term

exceptional engineering and for that money you cant go wrong. it even has a built in pre...
