I've never heard the Maggies, but recently I heard Linn's 3 CDPs demo'd in an all-Linn system. The cheapest player (Genki) sounded harsh, bright, hard; wasn't impressed at all. The midline model (Ikemi) was a big improvement; the sound was much smoother and more natural, with better definition and control. I think I could live with it. The top-of-the-line CD12 was better still - more refined and effortless, but the difference wasn't as dramatic as that between the Genki/Ikemi.

If the Linn CDP you heard was the Genki, that might be another contributing factor to the sound that chased you out.
