Various Wadia players.. can someone order them


There are so many different Wadia players around, and so little info on the net about them. Would anyone be willing to put the following players in order of time/value?

* 6i
* 830
* 850
* 21

God help me sorting through them... What would you buy if you were buying an older Wadia (I'm considering other offerings as well, but lets keep the thread to Wadia stuff - might be useful to someone else like me down the road).

Interesting.. the seller of the 6i maintains that the 6 is quite an old player but the i upgrade makes it essentially a 650. True, not true?

He could be right, or at least close to it. Wadia does/did have a habit of upgrades keeping things relatively close. Calling a 3rd party like Great Northern Sound or Wadia might give you the correct answer.
check their site - they had info on the -i upgrades last time I looked. Agreed the 16 is a nice one-box player, perhaps one of the best one box players around. The 7/9 combo is also very nice but a bit more $ than the others mentioned.

One note of caution, when I was looking for a used wadia I talked to the factory and was advised that the transport in the 6 is obsolete and cannot be replaced if it ever breaks. Of course, that's pretty unlikely, but it's something to think about. The guy I talked to also seemed to think that of these choices, the best bang for the buck was the 830. (Although the 850 is better if you can afford it). I don't know about the 6i, as stated above, probably best to call Steve Huntley.
