How is Wadia with fast dynamic music ?


I listen mainly to classic rock and contemporary blues. Any other suggestions in the $2000 used catagory ? I want, probably the same as everyone else, good extension, warm mids with body, deep base, smooth highs and PRAT.

Thank You

Hi,

If you like fast dynamic music then go fo either the Krell CD players or the ML390S. Both are excellent in this part. I have a Wadia 861B and a Krell KPS28C and think the Krell is faster. However the Wadia is more enjoyable. It depends on taste and music choise which one you will like more.

Thank you Sprbggr.
I forgot to mention that I would like a good transport with digital outs so that I can try some DAC's later . I value involvement and musicality over the last bit of detail or accuracy .
Saki, you might try the Khayyam 'Rubiyat' cdp... Excellent with more subtle messaging. [emoticon here]
I second the Krell kps28c reco.

Altho, the timing is not the Krell's strength, a kps28c offers a pretty good mix of everything. I doubt you can get one for around 2k$, tho.

I am not familiar with newer Wadia, but all the units I've owned, timing and pacing, again, are not what they do best.

To be blunt, I am not sure if you can get all of what you are looking for in a 2k$ package from ANY digital playback.
