The best CD Player for the money

My theory for buying a used piece of gear is that someone else is taking the largest part of diminishing returns. For example, a Rega Planet, if someone who bought it new for $800 sells it a couple years later, they'll get $400. If I buy it at $400 and sell it a couple years later, I can probably still get $250 or $300.

So, it seems to me that a NEW CD player has more diminishing returns than a USED one. This leads me to believe that the best CD player for the money will definitely be a USED player.

LOOK FOR AN ACCUPHASE DP75 (USED)....YOU CANNOT GET A BETTER VALUE AND SOUND FROM YOUR CD'S FOR THE MONEY!!
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, I LOOKED.

Muralman,
You have to spend some money. The Shigaraki is about $2000

Chriskeating, I auditioned a Wadia. I also read a review of the Shigaraki. The two sound like they are similar in their high frequency comb philosophy. I'll pass.

I am also looking to buy a new cd player.My budget is approx.$2500Cdn. Among the ones I'm considering are Musical Fidelity 3.2,Linn Genki,and perhaps the Naim 3.5. My system consists of the following. Linn LP 12 Anniversry Table with vallaha,Akito arm& Troika cartridge,Classe Ten amp,Classe Four pre-amp,Castle Howard speakers,biwired with Linn K400 cable,Arcam Alpha 6 cd player Nakamichi LX5 tape deck. every thing is wired with Transparent Audio Super interconnects.Most of the power cords are Wireworld Stratus. I prefer to listen to rock and roll , blues and stuff like the Flying Burrito Bros. I'd appreciate any and all opinions. Thanks
