Firstly apologies for not being more active on the forum of late - other interests / life get in the way so I hope you don't think I'm being too cheeky dropping by to use the forum to flog gear :o
"One of the last great CDP's of the golden era". - Marco
Here's my Karik III. I bought it second hand in 2003 and paid £900 for it then (I have the invoice). It's been used on and off for those 20 years and has never had anything go wrong with it.
Recently I've found myself ripping CD's to FLAC and streaming LDAC bluetooth so the Karik has become rather redundant.
It comes with the remote, a manual, power cord, Linn interconnects and a box. Parts are hard to come by but the good news is that this is virtually bombproof.
Pro's:
Amazing sound quality. Holds its' own even now.
Built like a tank. The CD drawer is machined from a solid billet of aluminium.
Stupidly cheap for what it is!
Con's
The box isn't the original. It's the one I got it in but as you can see it's for a Majik DS. All Linn kit of that era was of the same dimensions though so it fits fine.
If it's not used for some time then the CD drawer can be slow to open. Once it is used though, it's fine and behaves perfectly normally.
The top plate is a bit dirty. Up to you how you want to clean it but I'm leaving well alone.
I really don't want to post this. The thought of some courier chucking my pride and joy around is more than I can bear so collection it is from Halfway House near Shrewsbury. I do venture up and down the M54 corridor and next week will be in Leicester and the week after venturing down to Fishguard so delivery is possible.
Happy to demonstrate
