Lately on some CDs I've found myself thinking that the Linn Mimik I have sounds a little 'messy' with some music. It seems to have a bit of a hard time where there's a lot happening. Usually rock related, but not all. It's still very enjoyable to listen to and if I had to keep it for another ten years, I wouldn't quibble with it.
But I'm still thinking about what if....!
So, budget is £600 max (actually, maybe £650 as I have an option on a Primare CD30.2 secondhand, but absolutely no more). I don't want a universal player, but an SACD/CD player isn't out the question. I like an analytical and detailed sound, not interested in warm or smooth, but it needs to present a good musical whole. Not interested in hard drives, ripping, etc - I like the product in my hand, not the downloaded file, so Sonos and Squeezebox, et al, are off the radar.
I won't be upgrading anything else, so if you think my speakers (Mission 733i floorstanders) or amp (Marantz 6010-KI Signature) need changing, I'd need a good argument for it as they're both capable enough to withstand an upgrade.
All suggestions gratefully received!
