Oh how I lusted after the KI signature models in my early forays into hifi. RIP!

Yep, I actually had 2 KI CD players over the years. In hindsight they were horribly bright and "digital " but I loved them!

Bought a SA Pearl SACD KI 30th Anniversary a few years ago from Ivan. Was the first time I heard a CD player sound almost as good as analog. Ken certainly had a flair about him

I met him at a London Hi-Fi Show a good number of years ago. Very snazzy suit he wore that day. Sad to hear of his passing. RIP
