Just to say I had a dem of the new Linn Unidisk 2.1 yesterday

I'd arranged it a while ago and went along armed with some of my new DVDA's. OK so the cost. SIX BIG ONES  Must be good for that, apparently with CD replay only bettered by the CD12.

Well how on earth can Linn charge such an obscene amount of money for such an average product  The dealer was surprised to hear that I found the hi rez disc's reproduction, which he chose to showcase the player, to sound almost identical to my CD system  Certainly no better, and SACD and CD replay was very disappointing, not in the same league. And it currently has a software bug, preventing it from reading an SACD after playing DVDA!!!!!!!!!!

So one overhyped, overpriced product from Linn then (Teac are just as guilty with the DV50 if you ask me).

Now the CD12 was a different kettle of fish  I would very much like one of those puppies, possibly the most musical one box CD player I've had the pleasure of hearing. If only that was sensibly priced
