I accidentally bought a Micromega CD player
Discussion
You know how it goes, a few glasses of wine, a moment's distraction and you've suddenly bought something from a well known auction site.
In this case I've bought a Micromega Logic CD player, for the grand sum of £16. I know nothing about these, other than I believe they were quite expensive in their day. Does anybody know anything about these units? There seems to be very little on the web.
Has anybody done anything similar? Any pleasant surprises had?

It is now collected and in situ. It's in pretty clean condition and everything seems to work, although buttons in French are a touch confusing.
Sound wise I'd say it will take a bit of getting used to after my last Pioneer player + Dacmagic. I wouldn't exactly describe it as warm (but then I listen to a lot of vinyl), but it is very detailed and spacious. Voices seem very clear.
I love the fact that is from a similar era to my amp (old Exposure gear) - it's proper ugly hifi!

It is currently partnered with a slightly lean amp (Exposure 7 pre and 8 power) and some fairly neutral ProAc speakers, and does indeed sound delightful.
£16 well spent!
A nice set up! Funnily enough - when I said "lean amp" - I was thinking of an Exposure or an Audiolab! £16 well spent!
