What Hifi's CD player of the Year. Recommended by Hifi Choice, Hifi News etc Fully modified by Ken Ishiwata with high grade seleccted components like toiroidal transformer, audiophile grade capacitors and full copper plating etc Remote is in absolutely mint condition and has never been used. Player's front panel is in mint condition Sound is warm and rich with deep and fulsome bass but does not sound slow and boring. Especially good for vocals, jazz and classical. Note that this model is the 17mkI KI and not the mkII Most users prefer the original 17KI to the 17mkII KI – do read up on the forums [URL]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7511434257&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1[/URL]
