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

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.

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

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.
