Linn Ikemi

In really nice condition. Includes factory remote. Original box and packing are not included. Manual can be found on line.

Still considered one of the great sounding machines out there.

Benefiting from experience acquired in designing the revolutionary Linn Sondek CD12, the Ikemi, high performance component CD player uses unique Linn low-jitter ‘2-D’ conversion technology. Outstanding performance from both balanced and single-ended outputs also help to make the Ikemi a most versatile CD player.

The slim machined-from-solid aluminium drawer is the only external visible sign of a completely new and beautifully engineered CD mechanism called the Mekto. The ingenious Mekto CD transport design centres on a rigid circuit board which locates all the servos, decoding and control circuits, software, motors, pulleys, belts and optical sensors needed to support the disc loading, decoding and playback process.

The digital audio signals from the Mekto ‘CD engine’ are fed directly to the ‘audio module’ containing the ‘2-D’ digital signal processing algorithms, D/A converters, master clock, filters, output circuits and power supply regulators. High density surface mount circuitry keeps the signal paths both short and direct, ensuring an electrically quiet
product with a high immunity to external electrical disturbance.

Standard and proprietary interfaces allow the Ikemi to be connected to a wide range of equipment. SPDIF, AES/EBU and TOSLINK outputs allow connection to home entertainment systems, whilst Linn Remote-In / Remote-Out connections can link the Ikemi to the Linn Knekt system. With 2 types of analogue audio outputs this makes the Ikemi a most advanced specialised CD Player ‘Clyde Built’ to please enthusiastic music lovers.
