3 Brit players around 2,000 retail-which wins?

Used Ikemi or EMC-1!

I have owned/heard only two of these units -- the Creek and the Rega. Of the two, I personally preferred the sound of the Rega, although I liked the cosmetics of the Creek better. Based on the review articles I've read of these three units, the consensus seems to be that the Rega and Creek come out either #1 or #2 (depending on the reviewer), with the Roksan #3. However, bear in mind that we are talking about subtle, not gross, differences between the relative performance of all three units.

1 vote for the jupiter - i've had one for a while and couldn't be happier. the ikemi that SG mentions is also a fine choice. . . .

The Jupiter sells very well for us - personally I don't see how you can do better for the money having listened to virtually all of the competitors in the same price range.
