Best CD player under $500 used?


My NAD 5000 has started to have a problem skipping and with tracking. I am searching for a best replacement, used, and under $500
Thanks

Right at around $500 you should be able to find a good Rega Planet 2000 used. Very musical player for the money IMO. Add a few $ more and look for a used Jolida to take off the hard edges even further. Sub $500 I might be tempted to look at some of the less expensive Sony SACD players, but don't know where to stear you there.
Cal Icon MkII. Warm sounding and built like a tank. Upgrade power cord and you're in business. Others have favored the NAD CDP's. I hope the new models are better than the older models because of the two older ones I've owned I was not impressed w/their sonic or mechanical performance. Bill
CAL Icon MkII.

Same remarks as Kotta. I have used one for 4 years now (sometimes with an outboard DAC) and even as a stand alone player it is still hard to beat.
