Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used?

I would never spend money on a old DVD player anymore. I sold my Meridian 800 DAXV4 one year ago for 4000 euro. New price was 25000 dollar. I was Lucky to get this amount. Time and technique goes on. These days you get better quality for much better prices.

Which player(s) are you using Bo1972?

These days I use the Olive 06HD as a streamer which outperforms almost any highend cd layer with ease. And I use the Onkyo BD-SD809 for bluray. This player has a clocklink and is the only player till 1000 dollar which can give a deep and wide stage. Was better in timing than my 800. 800 had more weight but was not that good as the 809 in all the layers of the low freq. The 800 had a better musical sound. But the high freq was better with the 809 as well. By using the clocklink of the 809 the stage is deeper and wider than my old 800.

Connect the 809 with a Audioquest hdmi coffee or even better with the Audioquest Diamond and you will outperform many cd player till 5000 dollar. I did many blind test with clients with very expensive players. They all bought the 809 with coffee or Diamond. They sold there source. At the end they had superior sound and some had even even extra money to do other things. Reinvesting by selling old audio is what i do a lot these days. I compare sources, amps, cables with the source. cables or even amps what they own. I sell them new better stuff for good prices. And I help them to sell there old stuff for good prices. I do this Always for free, for all my clients. I write and place there advertisements. I do the eamils and send them to my clients. Many shops ask money for this overhere, I do not want to earn 2 times money on a client.
