Linn Genki, today, £100. It had an intermittent skipping issue. I stripped it, cleaned and lubricated the mech. Gave the lens a light clean and it's been playing without issue for about six hours. Best sounding CD player I've ever brought for that money, in fact I forgot just how good the Genki was.

Beresford Caiman SEG,DAC. Only had a chance to listen to a few well known fave discs, cold "out of the box" so to speak, with less than ideal cables, well, for me, a truly worthwhile upgrade. Bags more detail, I'm hearing things that just didnt make it through before. Using my trusty Genki as transport, a fine player as it is, but the Caiman moves it up into the next division and some.

My girlfriend lived in Japan for a little while and still uses the term genki. I had an old Linn promo t-shirt with Genki on it. This could have been a perfect way to show how cultural (kultural?) I was but the t-shirt was long gone and I could only tell tall tales about it.......

Yamaha MC-1s cartridge. Beryllium cantilever matches the drivers in my speakers. Sounding glorious right now. My Yamaha system is complete.
Might have to be for sale soon as moving to a smaller house and will probably by a Sonus system because this hifi is just so big according to the better half.

Dark days indeed. A 'Sonos' likely won't cut the mustard. Try some Pi goodness

Disclaimer - I have both a 'Sonos' and a Pi, and cassette, vinyl, cd thingummajigs. The Technics DD t/t has the legs on all of them for pride of ownership.

The meaning of the word Genki describes this player very well. It's been a while since I'd heard one in person but I always rated it highly. I've connected it into my bedroom system (all Linn of course), I'm listening to it right now since my daughter has dominated the living room. Any promo material would be about 17 years old by now, I'm pretty sure these players were introduced in 2000.

Linn Exaktbox Sub. Gonna see what it adds or takes away, both of which could be positive or negative things.

Me too, I ate one sour too.
Linn Exotik phono pre amp with Dynamik PS. Lovely pre amp, although I'm hankering after the digital version now.
