老外的评价：
1、An excellent player that perhaps demands ancillary equipment beyond the price point of the player itself. Bright amplification should be avoided (I can't believe that the Mimik would sound good with Linn amps) and the Naim CD3 (and successors) should be tried if your system requires a more organic feel.
Strengths:
Outstanding information retrieval for a player in this price range. Excellent build quality.
Weaknesses:
Fussy with respect to partnering equipment and poorly produced CDs.
Perhaps not as good a general buy as a Naim CD (hence 3stars for value)
Similar Products Used:

Marantz CD10

2、My dealer tried to demonstrate this only in an all-inn setup - where it seemed punchy if a little bright and lacking in fine detail. However, switch to other makes of amp and speaker and it starts to sound a little thin - and, well, average. In the end I bought a second-hand Meridian 203 instead, which I've now had for a year and like a lot.
3、I managed to get hold of one of these as a secondhand buy (500 pounds versus 875 pounds new), and frankly, there is little to touch it at either price range.
It's construction and finish is exemplary, it's intuitive ease of use a dream. As far as reproduction of music is concerned, it's neutrality revealed hidden depths to CDs I had not heard before. On the downside it does seem very sensitive to the subtleties of interconnects, amplifiers and speaker cable to reveal it's best but it is worth persevering to find the best blend. Although I am not a supporter of the "one make series" advocated in earlier reviews on this page, Linn interconnects seem the best match. Amplification however is best taken to something that will colour it's output more than Linn will; either warmth through valves or crispness of a more upfront integrated (depending on you musical tastes). As far as keeping up with the competition, we all now that Linn is infinitately upgradable (cards and so), and at the very least it has a digital output!
注意这里说到新机器价格是875英镑。
4、The Mimik was Linn's first "budget" CD player and still is a good performer, even though its successor Linn Genki is better (by a great margin, that is).
It's musical, tuneful and has got that "Linn-ish" sound which makes most music enjoyable. However, it does have some flaws which are evident if You compare it to the new Genki, the new Ikemi or other Hi-end players.
A Mimik handles most music well, but can sound a bit edgy and stressed sometimes. Also, bass could be better, compared to its "big brother" Karik and even more evident - the Genki/Ikemi.
It is a good player though, despite the flaws. I'm quite happy with mine, even though it got *slaughtered* compared to my old LP12...
Other components in my system include:
* Majik-I Amp fitted w. active crossover
* LK100 Power Amp w. active crossover
* Active Keilidh speakers
My next upgrade will probably be trading my Mimik for a new Linn Genki.
If you can find a used Mimik in good condition, it sure is good value.
My rating is 3.75 stars out of 5.
