The best CD Player for the money

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

Muralman, The Wadia stuff and 47Labs gear couldn't sound more different. You should take a listen if you ever have the opportunity. I sold my Levinson 390S to buy the 47Labs stuff.

picked it up new for $3,000 and I like it alot

Well, it may be a bit older, but I think it sounds DAMN good for the money. Especially since it can be bought used for under $400. Pioneer Elite PD-65. Hell, many audio stores had em in their listening rooms for a reference player...I have one and I think it sounds great!
