Which Used CD Player for Under $1,500?


I have narrowed my choices to the following:

Arcam FMJ CD23
Musical Fidelity A-3.2
Cary CD-303-100
Cary CD-308T
Shanling CD-T100

Which would you select and why? Open to other suggestions.

Arcam CD 92 with the ring dac,fantastic sound,once you hear it ,it puts others to shame,and you know you are missing something that is not there with other players.

SACD option would be great to have...........so Marantz 8260, 8400, or newer would get you into that arena.

CD only.........Meridian 508-24 or Audio Research CD2 for sure. running close third would be the FMJ23t or 33.

Musical Fidelity def. has a huge bang for the $$. Talk to Wally at Underwood. I have bought from him.

The Moons seem like they have the goods too.........
Don't do the Marantz 8260 which is highly rated by the magazines and it sounds truely lifeless on redbook and functionally had problems with certain SACD's, Contacted Marantz and they were aware of the problem on those particular CD's.. spend the little bit more to buy one of the other suggested but don't buy the Marantz
Digsmithd,

What is an Equinox and how much does it cost? Does it have variable volume control and digital inputs like the Quad?

Thanks,
